Jim Lad got a reaction from FriedClams in Albertic by michael mott - FINISHED - Scale 1:100 - RESTORATION - Bassett-Lowke Model
Now that adds a real complication to your work, Michael. I think I'd be inclined to restore the restoration, where possible.

Jim Lad got a reaction from ggrieco in HMB Endeavour by BANYAN - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - 1:60 - circa 1768
Congratulations, Pat! A beautiful model all round and a real credit to you.
Never mind the occosional scratch on the Perspex - I've seen what can happen to models in glass cases when something goes wrong - the Perspex is much safer.

Just catching up after being away for a while, Pat. She's really looking the goods, mate!

Jim Lad got a reaction from ggrieco in Francis Pritt by Jim Lad - FINISHED - Scale 1:48 - Australian Mission Ship
The 'Pritt' continues to creep towards completion, but currently at the pace of an arthritic snail! The standing rigging is now all fitted, but not finally secured until I do a bit of fine tuning on tensions. The two lines that can be seen hanging loose from the main mast are the running backstay pennants, which had to be fitted over the mast before the upper rigging, although they will be about the last rigging to be finally run as they, together with the mzzen running forestays, are in the way of all the mainsail rigging.
The two white circles that can be seen lying on the starboard side of the deck are the partially made lifebuoys.

Jim Lad got a reaction from mtaylor in Jarvis Brace Winch
From the size if the gears, it would seem that th centre axle will turn at a slightly faster speed than the other two.
