Jim Lad got a reaction from Piet in SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse 1897 by Mirabell61 - FINISHED - scale 1:144 - POF - first German four stacker of the Norddeutscher Lloyd line
Very nicely constructed vents, Nils!
For those who might be wondering, red was a very common colour for the interior of cowl vents - probably more than 90% of ships used this colour.

Pete,
As you're building at a fairly large scale, would it be possible to build her as a sailing version but with a working drop centreboard? perhaps you could have a pin to fix the centreboard down for sailing.

Jim Lad got a reaction from Mark Pearse in 28' Ranger-type Yacht by Mark Pearse - FINISHED - 1:12
It's great to see her fully planked, Mark.

Jim Lad got a reaction from Omega1234 in Boothbay Harbor One Design 1938 by Jond - FINISHED - 1:6 - RADIO - 21' racing sloop
RC is an alien world to me, but this is fascinating! Jon, with the model sailing, how do you cope with water in the cockpit? I would imagine that even on a pretty calm day you'd get a fair bit of water slopping over.

Now that will make a lovely model, Druxey. Are you going to finish her complete with sweeps?
