  10. Crikey, Tim! Looking at those hull lines, it's no wonder she held the record for so long - what a beauty!! John
  11. Michael, The Science Museum closed its maritime gallery last year and replaced it with a display of mobile phones!!! Longridge's models are now in storage. John
  12. Thanks Popeye and Bob! The only down side of holidays is no internet and therefore no MSW! John
  13. Thanks, folks! I'm really looking forward to seeing the rigging progress a bit further! John
  14. Well, I was in at the museum again yesterday, but didn't take any photos. I didn't get a lot done on the model as there's been a lot happening at the museum while I've been away and I spent some time just catching up with the gossip and then figuring out just where I'm up to with the rigging. When I finally started work, I put a bit of pressure on the upper throat halliard tackle and the upper block strop carried away (RATS! ). I was a bit surprised as I've never had that happen before, and I then spent most of the rest of my time remaining in clearing away the halliard and then re-rigging. Oh, well - at least it was good practice. John
