  1. Nice work on the guns, Clare. A very professional looking amateur effort. John
  2. Thanks, Popeye! We had a great time - now to start planning the next trip! John
  3. Looking good, Mobbsie. As rest for your eyes after the fine work, try gazing at a pint of bitter down at the pub! John
  4. Now that looks a very interesting project, Alexandru! John
  5. Thanks, Pat! It's good to be back home (I think ) John
  6. Toni, You seem to have come a long way since I went on holidays! Sweet!! John
  7. Your very precise and beautiful work just keeps on coming, Karl!! John
  8. That's a great adventure in model making you've embarked on with the vanes, Piet! John
  9. Crikey, Tim! Looking at those hull lines, it's no wonder she held the record for so long - what a beauty!! John
  10. 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
  11. Thanks Popeye and Bob! The only down side of holidays is no internet and therefore no MSW! John
  12. Thanks, folks! I'm really looking forward to seeing the rigging progress a bit further! John
  13. 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
  14. Just catching up with your lovely cutter after my holidays, Kester. Keep up the good work, mate! John
  15. Popeye, No wonder you're having problems - trying to model weari8ng red socks - it just won't work, mate. Try changing to black socks or sandals! Seriously though, I have absolutely no doubt that you'll end up with a fine model. John
  16. Clare, Thanks for the detailed account of your etching experiments. That's very helpful. John
