Welcome home, Mario! John -
You're making some nice rope there, Michael! What are you going to use the left hand lay stuff for? John

Henk, Just keep remembering to cut the slots in the bulkheads and not yourself! John -
Great job in putting the whole thing back for us, Popeye! John

I managed to get a bit of work done today, but no photos, unfortunately. The bowsprit is now permanently fitted (I hope I don't regret it later), I replaced the anchor shaskles and got a bit of work done on the main mast and top mast. I took my camera in to the museum with a set of fully charged batteries only to find when I get there that my 'alternate brand' set of batteries had lost their full charge in only four days! Oh well, photos next time! John

Thanks for re-posting all those photos of your wonderful model, Ilhan! John

It's great to see the twins back, Popeye! John

Nice to see 'er right up to date, Pat! John

Coming along very nicely, Popeye! John

Bob, It's amazing what a difference those bolts make! John

Aldo and Pat, thanks for your support. I'll try and remember a ruler when I take the next photos, Pat! John

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

Ain't nothing can slow Popeye down! John

"The boiler is one of those things that is just fun to make." It looks like fun, too, Bob! Great job. John

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

Aha! One of Popeye's logs is back - great! John

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

We'll be here waiting when you're ready, Chris! John

A wonderful storey, Daniel. It gives a whole new meaning to the English naval term 'stone frigate'.! John
