Jim Lad got a reaction from KeithAug in Cangarda 1901 by KeithAug - Scale 1:24 - Steam Yacht
Very mean of family to disrupt the model making, Keith, but at least you're making some progress.

Jim Lad got a reaction from Canute in ERGENSTRASSE by Mirabell61 - FINISHED - 1:87 - steamship
Depends whether you want to go movie or more realistic, Nils. I' think I'd go for the merchant flag (being ex Merchant Navy).

Many thanks John,
I`ll take your opinion for more realistic as well. (official Merchant flag of those years)
The novel "The Sea Chase" by Andrew Geer of 1948 begins in your hometown in Sydney Harbour appr. two days before WW2 broke out. I saw this movie so many years ago , but still remember, that the captain ordered even to break down the wooden Lifeboats and everything made of wood on the steamer for feeding the boilers in lack of coal on his escape...

Jim Lad got a reaction from JacquesCousteau in Meteor 1851 by Jim Lad - Scale 1:96 - Immigrant Ship
"Meteor' continues to creep slowly ahead. I haven't had much actual building time as the museum has been pretty busy and I've been spending a lot of time talking ti visitors. I've also been spending time in discussions regarding the new project I mentioned. There have been a few hiccoughs along the way but the 'powers that be' at the museum are now keen to see the project go ahead. There is a (hopefully) final meeting planned for January 19th to finalise matters for all stakeholders. The meeting could have been much sooner, but during the holiday period its difficult to get everybody together at the same time.
Here's a photo of the 'Meteor' showing the current state with capping rails rough fitted.
