Looking good, Pat! Sorry to hear about your chainplate disaster, but I'm sure you're equal to it.

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.

Jim Lad got a reaction from mtaylor in SS Warkworth 1875 by Moony - 1/48 - PoB - early Steam Collier built in iron
Mention of load lines reminds me once again that your ship was built during a very interesting period of shipping development. The Load Line Act passed through the British Parliament in 1876!

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.

Just delightful!

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 Piet in Holiday Harbor by popeye the sailor - 1:20 scale - multi build
A traditional high pitched roof, eh! Will there be an attic window as well?

Jim Lad got a reaction from Bobstrake in Greenwich Hospital barge of 1832 by druxey - FINISHED - 1:48 scale
Now that will make a lovely model, Druxey. Are you going to finish her complete with sweeps?
