Popeye, You're doing a great job of getting all your build logs up and running again! John -
Thanks B.E.! John

I agree. A pleasure to read - and also a real pleasure to see your beautiful model! John

She's looking truly delightful, Nico! John

Popeye, Fishermen often take a lot of pride in the condition of their boats. Look at the state of general maintenance on these lobster boats moored amongst the yachts at Perkins Cove. And I remebered this parking restriction sign - obviously put up just for you! John

Dave, Underhill's book is the "bible" on rigging late 19th/early 20th century sailing ships. If you're interested in earlier sail, the you might think about "The Masting and Rigging of English Ships of War 1625 to 1850" by James Lees. John

It's good to see your Pickle growing here again! John

Pat, I'm familiar with 'cable-laid' and 'cablet', but 'cabled' is a new one. In what context does Steel use it? John
-
Very nicely done, Augie, very nicely done. John

Paul, It's good to see your Scharnkorst groing on MSW mark 2! As for the discussion re political symbols, it is MSW's policy not to allow any political, religious, racial or sexual symbols or content except where such symbols are an intergral part of the historical depiction of the model, such as, for example, Nazi symbols as they were displayed on German WWII ships at the time. As has already been pointed out, this is a model building forum and politics, race, religion or sexual content has no place here. All members are welcome as model builders no matter what views they may personally hold. John

You're making good progress with her, Håkan. She's looking good! John

Question on use of crowsfeet on ship rigged vessels
Jim Lad replied to Beef Wellington's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Jason, If you're thinking about whether or not to add crowsfeet, remember that you'll need to make some fairly early decisions, as the holes need to be drilled in the fore end of the tops if you're going to rig them. John -
So now we've got the plastic kit up as well Popeye! There's just no holding you back! John

I can only help with oar lengths for modern pulling lifeboats, where an oar for a 30 foot boat would be 14.1 feet long. John
