I'm not sure how I missed the start of this log, but I've just read through it and will continue to follow your beautiful work.
River boats of all kinds are always fascinating!

Jim Lad got a reaction from mtaylor in Meteor 1851 by Jim Lad - Scale 1:96 - Immigrant Ship
This log has lain dormant for some considerable time, so I thought I'd better tell people what's happening.
The poor old 'Meteor' hasn't been forgotten or abandoned but sits patiently on my desk at home while all my efforts are directed to trying to get the 'Duchess' completed.
Progress will resume once the 'Duchess' has been handed over to the museum staff.

Jim Lad reacted to Dr PR in USS Cape (MSI-2) by Dr PR - 1:48 - Inshore Minesweeper
Tom,
I'm not sure we were really looking for a helicopter. That is just something I overheard in the preparations for getting underway. It may be that the only person onboard who really knew what we were looking for was the fellow in the sonar shack.
The whole episode was mysterious. The original message just said to get underway immediately, but didn't say where we were going or why.
"Men, I want you to leave immediately!"
The CO did get verbal orders to go look for something. No one told me what we were looking for, but I was told that the sonar shack guy would tell us if we found something. Everything about the sonar was classified. And we couldn't be seen searching in daylight (at night we looked like just another fishing boat's navigation lights). Weird!
But whatever we were looking for we didn't find.

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! 🙂
