  1. Bob, It's amazing what a difference those bolts make! John
  2. Aldo and Pat, thanks for your support. I'll try and remember a ruler when I take the next photos, Pat! John
  3. Phil, Ladders can be very tricky things to make - and the problem is that they're so nocticable on the model! One way to get them done neatly is to make up a little jig. It only need to be simple - just a strip of weed with slots for the treads cut at the correct intervals. That will keep everything neat and square while the sides are glued on. John
  4. "The boiler is one of those things that is just fun to make." It looks like fun, too, Bob! Great job. John
  5. Hello Bedford! How did you sneak in without my seeing you? Welcome to the forum from down in the Big Smoke! That looks a nice little model you're building. John
  6. On the other side of Sydney is Anagote Timbers of 144 Renwick Street, Marrickville. I've purchased timber from them and found them to be very friendly and helpful to people like us who only want very small quantities. John
  7. We'll be here waiting when you're ready, Chris! John
  8. Robbyn, Check out the new article on planking by David Antscherl that Chuck just added to the database. John
  9. This will be interesting, Hank! John
  10. Nice to see the Titanic back, Ricky! John
  11. A wonderful storey, Daniel. It gives a whole new meaning to the English naval term 'stone frigate'.! John
  12. Great progress, Håkan, it's nice to see the dinghy under way now. John
  13. Robbyn, Remember that this is the Endeavour, which has a particulary bluff bow and hence the need for lots of stealers. Try to work your stakes of planking so that you use the minimum number of stealers. John
  14. Good the see you re-posting your photos, Kats. This is a very special log! John
  15. Thanks for the welcome back, folks. Popeye - you may well be appointed as MSW's poet laureate! John
