Jim Lad got a reaction from Mike Dowling in Bertrand by Cathead - FINISHED - 1:87 - wooden Missouri River sternwheeler
Mate, it's been a real pleasure following your log and seeing this wonderful piece of America's history evolving.

Jim Lad got a reaction from mattsayers148 in Bertrand by Cathead - FINISHED - 1:87 - wooden Missouri River sternwheeler
Congratulations on getting her completed - she's really a fine looking model.
I think you've made a wise decision in leaving off the cargo and showing just some token fuel wood. You want people to see the ship, not the cargo!
I'm looking forward to your further photos.

Jim Lad got a reaction from Elijah in Bertrand by Cathead - FINISHED - 1:87 - wooden Missouri River sternwheeler
Not only a great model, but some very interesting discussion on the operation of American river boats, which differ markedly from our boats here in Oz.

Jim Lad got a reaction from Omega1234 in Haven 12 1/2' by pete48 - 1" = 1' Scale - Joel White version
Nice to see her off the jig and now a boat in her own right, so to speak.

Jim Lad got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Holiday Harbor by popeye the sailor - 1:20 scale - multi build
Very nice job - but I have to say that it looks a bit plain for a Popeye build at the moment.

Jim Lad got a reaction from Piet in Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 by michael mott - 1:8 scale - SMALL
Michael, why haven't I seen your log before? Have you had a Southern Hemisphere lock on it, or have I simply been blind as a bat?
Anyway, she's looking really lovely - up to your usual standard.

Jim Lad got a reaction from Canute in Wire rope?
Grsjax - why do you need to use actual wire for the rigging? Why not use an appropriately coloured thread instead? Much easier to use and to get convincing splices at model sizes.
BNoah - Steel wire rope was in reasonably common use for ships' standing rigging by the 1860's, and was pretty much universal for all but small craft by the end of the 19th century.
