  5. Sorry to hear about the Covid, Pat. Hope it was a light dose! John
  6. Hello Eric, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. That's a couple of nice models you have there. John
  7. Very nice looking accommodation block. By the way, when I was at sea, escape routes were more in the nature of 'see if you can find a way out!' John
  8. That's quite a large ship. Steven - and that compass is really fascinating, especially considering the date! John
  9. Glen, it's interesting that the Hawaiian (Polynesian) word for canoe is wa'a - the Gilbertese (Micronesian) word is wa. The Gilbertese, being very innovative with their language for European objects, call an aeroplane 'wa ni kiba' - flying canoe! John
  10. Good work on that odd shaped planking, mate! John
  11. Keith, I've had cataract surgery on both eyes. Nothing to it and the improvement in my sight is nothing short of amazing. John
  12. Hello Luc, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. That looks a very nice workshop! John
  13. A good honest workhorse and well worth modelling - especially if she's one of your old ships. John
  14. Sorry to hear that the second deal fell through, Richard. John
  15. What devastating news. He is a sad loss to the world of model ship building. My deepest condolences to Donna and the rest of the family. John
  16. Works well, Nils. many ships had hinged steel plates over the freeing ports that clanged annoyingly when the ship was rolling heavily. John
  17. These illustrations from George Campbell's "China Tea Clippers" (1974) may be of some interest. John
