Jim Lad got a reaction from mtaylor in Lula by Keith Black - FINISHED - 1:120 Scale - 1870s Sternwheeler Supply Boat for Floating Pile Driver
That boiler's finished up really well, Keith.
By the way, your work bench looks a bit like mine!

Jim Lad got a reaction from Jeff preisler in Spray by Jeff Preisler - BlueJacket Shipcrafters - 3/8" = 1'
A very pleasing little craft to build, Jeff, and one that has an association with Oz as he visited Sydney on his epic circumnavigation.

Jim Lad got a reaction from Valeriy V in Herzogin Cecilie 1902 by Jim Lad - Four Masted Barque
I've been a bit slack in posting updates over the holidays, but the 'Duchess' has been quietly progressing in front of admiring holiday crowds at the museum. It always worries me that the unprotected model is very close to the public, unlike on the dedicated model makers' desk which was intentionally built wide, but I never have to worry about the kids touching the model - just (occasionally) their parents.
As you can see, the standing rigging is finally nearing completion (sans ratlines), with only a few more stays on the jigger and the mizzen spreaders to do. I'm now changing my focus to the sails and will hopefully play with the first sail - the flying jib - for a bit on Friday.

Thanks, Keith.
An interesting thought - the video - but I think we'd run up against privacy legislation (just for a start). 🙂

Thank you, John. I've tried working neat and tidy but that only seems to last for about three minutes.

Keith, you've done what many grandfathers don't manage - you actually completed the doll's house in time for your granddaughter to play with it! 🙂

To me, there's little in model making more satisfying that finally getting that first plank on - unless it's getting the last one on! 🙂
