Jim Lad got a reaction from mtaylor in ERGENSTRASSE by Mirabell61 - FINISHED - 1:87 - steamship
Works well, Nils. many ships had hinged steel plates over the freeing ports that clanged annoyingly when the ship was rolling heavily.

Jim Lad got a reaction from Thukydides in Meteor 1851 by Jim Lad - Scale 1:96 - Immigrant Ship
Well, it's certainly been a long time between drinks, but I've actually been getting some work done on the 'Meteor'. Not a heck of a lot, as the museum has had a lot of visitors, and we spend quite a bit of our time talking to them - but at least she's now heading in the right direction again.
There might be another hiccough on the way with this model as the museum is currently talking to me about completing a major restoration on a model. I've tentatively agreed on the basis that the work is done in the museum where visitors can enjoy it - more to come after another meeting with the curator on Monday week.
If that restoration happens, I may bring the 'Meteor' home so that I can at least keep working on it when I have time.
In the meantime, here are a few photos of the model as she is at the moment.
