    Jim Lad got a reaction from mtaylor in Harvard 1926 by Jond - FINISHED - 1:96 - early steel hull beam trawler by Rice Bros   
    Fishing boats often used to carry sail as 'steadying sail, so that when stopped with a net down they could trim the sail to turn the boat to the direction they wanted her to lie on the nets.

    She's looks great, Nils. Just to be pedantic, all the cargo gear rigging would have been wire rope.

    Can't give you a definitive answer Bill, but have you tried the model railway suppliers? They are often a treasure trove of useful bits and pieces for ship models.

    Oh you guys!  You lot have it all wrong - it is Aus that is on the right side of the sphere; not strange at all   See told ya:
     

    Why sit indoors, be cold and all rugged up to celebrate Christmas? The above picture from Keith A says it all (well except for a celebratory drink in hand).  While I am on the subject, for years you guys have also got it all wrong WRT Santa's sleigh.  It wasn't flown with reindeers, but rather with 'boomers' (yeah the sound they make when they bounce off the ground ); the only problem is they end up making for a lot more road maintenance  
     
    BTW Keith, turkey on the Barbie is 'delicious' mmmm mmm.
     
    cheers
