  1. Walt, It's good to see you back and better than ever with this build. John
  2. Bill, On smaller scales, another way to tie the reatlines so that they look correct, is to stitch the ratline through the outside shroud and then back through itself. That gives a very good scale appearance. John
  3. Nice to see some progress, Hank. That transom looks really good. John
  4. Michael, The seizings would have been done with marline, which is heavily impregnated with stockholm tar and is thus a very dark tan. Looking good, mate! John
  5. Just catching up with what you're up to, Gil. She's looking superb! John
  6. Nice work on the guns, Mobbsie. Now we all know if we're offered a model ship in the pub that has brass cannon ends we can say, "Officer, arrest that man. That model belongs to Mobbsie!" John
  7. Yhanks for all the photos, Rusty! Lovely, just lovely! John
  8. Nicely done, Russ. They can be little buggers to do! John
  9. Simple, but very effective! John
  10. I'm disappointed, Danny. I really expected you to make the full length of both chains and fit them, even though thay won't be visible! John
  11. Ah, crikey, I can't make one - I don't have any Fiddle-back Maple! Thanks for the details of your jig, Michael! John
  12. Nice looking serving machine, Michael! John
  13. Look like air holes to me, Tom. As for the "ventilator", as you know, ships get altered over time, so it may have become redundant in an alteration at some time. John
  14. Tony, At a scale of 1/64, the scale frames would be way under 0.5mm in size, if you're looking at scale framing. John
  15. I somehow seem to have missed you log Ilhan, so I'm just catching up. All up to your usual high standard, I see! John
  16. Nicely done with the halliards and downhauls, Augie! John
