Good idea to line the inside of the dinghy, Hamilton. John

Don't know of suppliers here who can provide pre-cut small timber, but two very good people if you can mill your own are Anagote of Marrickville and Trend Timbers out at McGraths Hill. The bloke at Anagote is a wood fanatic and unbelievably helpful if you catch him at a time when he's not too busy. Trend have the advantage of having a section where they sell offcuts and small pieces for wood turners. By the way, just for the curious; when they were setting up Anagote they were looking for a name and asked their kids what they should call the company. At the time they had a pet goat called Anna, so ......... John

I think I'd be using appropriately coloured thread for the wire ropes, Pat. A mid grey might be about right. John- 993 replies

Riffler files are used for finishing and detail work. They can be very useful for filing in tight corners or odd shapes. John

A small, but important step forward. John

If a ship were in port for only a short time with the sails sent down then all the sail rigging may well have been left in place, however if the sails were sent down for an extended period their associated rigging would also have been sent down, so it's really entirely up to you whether you show the sail rigging or not.

Hello from Texas Longhorn Country
Jim Lad replied to Glen McGuire's topic in New member Introductions
Glen, Longhorns were imported into Queensland several years ago with the idea of cross breeding them with Brahmans. The Brahmans can handle the wet conditions in the tropical north, but they're a bit anti-social. the idea was to cross them with the gentle Longhorns to try and get a calmer beast that can be bred in the tropics. I've no idea whether the idea worked, but I sure loves seeing those Longhorns! John

Can't think of anything else other than a windlass, but as has been said, don't know why they'd be so high. By the way Tom, did you mean that the model was built around 1900? The hull form looks more 18th century. John
