Thanks for the overall view of the model, Tom. She's really looking good!

Why have I only just come across your beautiful build, Bob? Delighful work, mate!
John

Nice sails, Popeye and yes, the reef lines should be on both sides of the sail as you said.
John

Horror! Shock! Danny took a short cut with the rudder tabling!
John
-
Oh, yes! Delightful, Michael!

Daddy's Girl was certainly a step up, Scott, but I must say hios first boat is more like what I thought an American shrimp boat would look like!

Great pictures of your dad's boat, Scott - and I love the one of you at 16 with your dad.
The model is coming along really well. I'm looking forward to seeing your updates.
One thing about building your model on board - no one is going to tell the Old Man, "Hey, you can't leave that thing there!"

Very nice (as usual) Michael.
John

Nicely done, Danny. I wonder if there's a Druxey Challenge Cup?
John

The pawl dropped onto the next tooth nicely
A fully working windlass, no less!
John

Certainly will stay tuned as you take up the 'Druxey pin challenge'.!
John

She certainly is coming along nicely, Jason. Your's is coming along much faster than the original!

Michael,
As the knee has to be shorter, it might look better if you made it taller to compensate.
John
-
That's a great set of pictures, Michael - and a pawl set up that I haven't come across before!
John

-
Yeah, Michael - that looks more 'conventional'!
John
-
Absolutely delightful work, Robert.
John
-
A brave move, but I bet you feel a lot happier now that you've done it, Alexandru!

Michael,
Why not leave the pawl on the centreline and use a longer post so that the pawl drops down on the pawl wheel from above, which is the more usual arrangement? The post can also be quite close to the windlass with the pawl (or pawls) being quite short.

By golly, Popeye - she'll be finished before you know it!
John
-
It might be better on a post, Michael - that would also give another securing point up forward.

Beautiful machining, Giorgio - and great to know that all seems well with your heart!

I don't build in styrene, Tom, but I don't see why the wheelhouse couldn't be made from one piece with a little judicious heating.
