Sorry Melissa, but that space looks far too neat and organised for serious model making! Looks like you're all set to go. John- 42 replies

The model looks first class, Håkan. Sorry to hear about your illness - I'm currently in remission so have at least a little idea of what you're going through. Praying for you. John

Endeavor Standing rigging HELP! FRUSTRATED!
Jim Lad replied to bobc622's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Exactly what part of the standing rigging does that cover? John -
A great idea to give a glimpse into the engineroom. John

Definition of 'Single' WRT rigging/ropes
Jim Lad replied to BANYAN's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Patrick, the lifts were usually secured to a pin on a fife rail at the foot of the mast, so it looks as thought 'single lift' may have meant just that - a single line from the yard arm up to a single block and then down to the deck. John -
Now there's a skill I know nothing about! John

Hello Paul, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. Coincidentally, Dundas, New South Wales, is only a few kilometers down the road from me. John Laing

Yes, mate, we (the model makers) have already been told that we won't be back before December. John

Mark, we're dealing with the Commonwealth Public Service here - they'd probably want to form a committee to investigate the matter! John

as I said, my tools are locked in the museum, so my home bench has sad idle all through lockdown. I've been amusing myself working on the Admiral's family tree - a very interesting exercise in itself and also a great winner of browny points! Weflack - we're opening up here in Sydney and under state health orders museums and galleries are now permitted to open, but the maritime museum is very wary of opening up and getting volunteers back in given the high average age of the volunteer force.

My first thought was fine wire stretched across the frame and soldered at each end, but ideally a small electrical component that can be repurposed might be the answer. Try having a brows through Jaycar's catalogue to see if there's any inspiration there. John
