Popeye and Augie, thanks very much for your support and encouragement during the build. Note: No moose were injured during the production of this model! John -
Thank you Andy, Bob, Rusty and Sherry! I've had a great time sharing her with you. John

Well, she's finished at last! The last couple of details were finished at the museum yesterday. As you can see from the photographs, she still needs a proper stand and case - plus a bit of a clean off of odd dust particles before she's permanently cased - but she is complete at last. I must say I'm quite pleased with the way she's turned out. I think I've got the spars fine enough to look realistic and make her look light and fast rather than just over sparred, but that's just my opinion. The next model is currently in the planning stage and a new building log will appear shortly. John

Thanks, Druxey. As I was reading Danny's post I was thinking, "I wonder how it was done on the actual ship! John

What? South east? Not west across the Pacific? John

She continues to grow beautifully, mate! John

Great stuff, Piet - she looks wonderful! Where are we going for our fist sail? John

Looking very shipshape, Andy! By the way, who are the Broncos, and what were they 6 - 0 at? John

She's starting to look like a real workhorse, Bob! John

Clare, My personal view is that red paddles would look really good against a black hull. The boarding pikes may well have been locked away out of temptations way in case of possible mutiny. John

Augie, Actually it's more like 8,325 miles! John

Coming along nicely, Augie. Is it the photo, or is there a 'glitch' in the line of the lintels just forward of where your spacers are in the second photo? John

Gaff halyard rigging: one line or two
Jim Lad replied to isali's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Ira, There are almost as many ways of rigging gaff halliards as there are gaffs! The most common arrangement is to have separate lines for the peak and throat halliards, but the detail of the rig depends very much on the individual ship. John -
Amanda by Tblack - FINISHED - RESTORATION
Jim Lad replied to TBlack's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
The boats are a big plus in your restoration, Tom. John -
More lovely joinery work, Danny! John
-
Now that would be an interesting bit to build, Piet! John
-
Popeye, The doors look good, but how are you going to get to the one under the break of the poop to put the hardware on? John
-
Those sails look truly excellent, Ilhan. John

Kimberley, Please be assured that we don't think that any model is 'dumb'. It's your model and your choice of just what you want to build. We're just happy to come along for the ride. John

OK, Sherry, I think your 12 pound cotton wool cannon ball would have a diameter of about 2.6 feet, but it would, of course, depend on how much the cotton was compressed! John
