Jim Lad got a reaction from pete48 in Francis Pritt by Jim Lad - FINISHED - Scale 1:48 - Australian Mission Ship
Back from some time in England looking after my ailing mother-in-law and back at work on the 'Pritt'. Not much more done at the moment, but at least the upper deadeyes have been seized in so I can really go ahead with the rigging now.
ne disappointment on returning to the museum was to discover that the staff had decided to clean the model makers' display cabinet and on moving the 'Pritt' out to clean the cabinet they managed to lose the boom crutch that had been completed and was sitting on the cabin top awaiting fitting.
The photos show the minor progress that has been made.

Jim Lad got a reaction from Piet in Syborn by popeye the sailor - FINISHED - 1:33 - trawler
Just because it's a work area doesn't mean it has to look rough, Popeye!
A very nicely constructed fish box.

Jim Lad got a reaction from Elijah in Albertic by michael mott - FINISHED - Scale 1:100 - RESTORATION - Bassett-Lowke Model
An actual start on restoring rather than taking apart! At least the collapsable boats are a straitforward way of getting onto it, Michael.

Surely all of your stays are single, Michael. I would think that the upper ends were eye spliced around a thimble and shackled to the lug on the funnel. The splice may well have been served over to make it look 'pretty' on a passenger ship.

4 inch wire sounds plenty big enough for the job, Michael.

There's some very nice metalwork on that model, Michael.
Any ideas about the black metal frame structure on the fore deck? It has me puzzled, unless it's the crutch for the two forward cargo derricks.

Jim Lad got a reaction from Old Collingwood in SD-14 Cargo ship by Kevin - SD-14 Model Company - 1/70 - CARD - middle section
Catching up after being away for a while, Kevin. It's good to see the shipyard in full swing.

Jim Lad got a reaction from EricWilliamMarshall in Albertic by michael mott - FINISHED - Scale 1:100 - RESTORATION - Bassett-Lowke Model
Large and heavy model; very narrow table stand; stand in middle of room in library - give me any reason why that wasn't a disaster just waiting for the right time to happen?
I think Popeye has a good idea there, Michael. Brass pictue hanging wire might be just the job if you can get it in the right gauge.
By the way, I think it's interesting that the legendary Bassett-Lowke apparently got the detail of the wire stays wrong - wire laid up left handed instead of right handed.
