Well, the jig works, Russ! John -
Nice to see another non-string model on the site - I'll be following with interest. Was it usual for tugs in your part of the world to have left handed propellers? John
-
Lovely work again, Remco! John
-
Just catching up with what you're doing, Russ. She's looking good, mate! John
-
It's great to see these details that are really making her come allive, Popeye! John
-
It's good to see that you're putting this log back up, David! John
-
Nico, she just looks more beautiful with each set of photos! John
-
Mobbsie, yes, I see a slight dip there, and there really shouldn't be. Do you want to try evening it out with filler before you get on to the second planking, or does it just look worse in the photos, as is often the case! John

Bruce, Whatever else you do with regard to rigging sequence, leave the braces until last. As they run outside everything else they'll really get in the way. John
-
Bruce, I've found that leaving the ratlines until later doesn't restrict access in practice as I find I reach most of my belaying points from the opposite side anyway. John

Just catching up with what you're doing - beautiful; absolutely beautiful! John

Beautifully done, Michael! John

Hello Robert, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. That's a very nice looking hull you have there. I'm looking forward to seeing your future updates. John -

Yeah, Tom, the photo looks likes it's made like a simple garden bench. I think you're on the right track. John -
John, I haven't followed his technique, but it's in the back of my mind for a future model. John
-
Well, why not, Michael - you've gone this far! John
-
Oh, was it you Mario? I thought it was rather fun! John
-
Oh, yes, Popeye - looking good, mate! But you'll need more lobsters than that to make that boat pay! John

That's a good link, but I've deleted the illustrations due to probable copyright issues. Members can see the illustrations in the article. John -
The white on the cover boards really sets her off, Michael. John
-
Crikey, Popeye! I get up in the morning and find that you've gone beserk with your model overnight! Just one thing with your sidelights - move the lamps to the back of the screens, otherwise they'll show the light too far abaft the beam. John

Popeye, Those little details can seem to take for ever when we're anxious to get on and finish things, but it's those small touches that really make the model. Keep it up, my friend! John
-
Sarah, The answer to that one is easy - I haven't the foggiest idea! American river steamers are hardy a speciallity of mine, but would suspect that they would have used whatever thay could get. John
-
Hmmmm. I think I might disagree. 5/64 inch is almost 2mm - quite doable if you really want to. John
