FOR SALE: The Fully Framed Model, HMN Swan Class Sloops, Vol. I & II by David Antscherl (Seawatch Books)

As with a number of other items I am listing for sale, these were purchased direct from Seawatch quite a few years ago with grand plans to scratch build - but life happened and never got underway. Interests have now moved in different directions. Both books present in 'as new' condition (unused or marked). Selling as set - $250AUD (approx. $161USD/143EUR) Located in Canberra, Australia Pickup in Canberra preferred but, depending on timing, may be able to drop off in Wollongong, Sydney or Newcastle. Otherwise, happy to post at buyers expense (world-wide) following confirmation of payment. Payment via Paypal (world-wide), EFT (Australia only) or cash on pick up. Happy to answer any questions.

Just catching up. Great re-do Grant! At the end of the day you've got to be happy with your own work and we get to enjoy the process (and output). Cheers Leanne

KA-6 Australia II 1983 by pete48 - 3/16" = 1' - SMALL

the hammer is the smallest one I have at the minute, was my grandfathers from when he was a mattress maker. It's pretty light, only about 3in wide. As for name, it's Leanne... 'Moo' has no connection to Alf Garnet rather my last name - Cowan... Took some wag at University to finally pin me with a bovine reference!!

Looks great Pete. There'd be few Australians who remember the day 'we' won the cup who wouldn't get a smile on their face just by hearing the name Australia II or see the boxing kangaroo flag... I was only 9 and it was BIG news at the time. Bob Hawke is 84 and can still skull a 'schooner' of beer with the best of 'em (likely to be a few videos on YouTube) - a skill he honed in his University days, a Rhodes scholar I think. A schooner of beer? There's a bit of history to the actual amount, but these days is a glass of 425ml... "...the origin of the term, although unknown, is suggested by the comments of a magistrate in a 1931 Sydney court case. A city publican was proceeded against for supplying a schooner of beer instead of a pint. The aggrieved customer was found to be legally entitled to a full pint in a stamped measure if he asked for a pint; he should receive a ‘full-rigged ship’, not a lesser fore-and-aft rigged schooner."

They're still too small... still getting their adult feathers so can't keep warm outside yet. Won't be long though, the Taj ma Chook awaits...

Not really. Neither the written instructions or the DVD indicate when/how to plank the rear of the transom... will see how we go.
-
A few steelers to go and then sanding/filling begins... Yay!
-
Thanks Ollie. The figures are the 25mm/1" Amati ones, though I think they might be a bit short for 1:48 - think I got my scales mixed up. Probably better with the 35mm versions for a 5'5" standing height... 4' is likely a bit too short - might end up being a cabin boy or powder monkey... though I doubt the Mermaid had the latter
-
A bit more progress... The building instructions that came with the kit suggest using the crimping method for shaping bends, but I found the timber was more prone to snap at the ends. So I'm soaking each plank in water for about 15-20min before pinning in place, waiting for it to dry and then gluing-up/reclamping. Seems to be coming along... The Captain and some of the crew arrived recently from cornwall model boats in the UK (you were right Grant, cost and postage very reasonable). Came aboard for a quick review of progress - the boatswain is giving me the hurry up. Cheeky! All ahead...

There is another large model of the Sirius on display in a case in the foyer of the Commonwealth Dept. Health & Ageing 'Sirius Building' in Woden (suburb of Canberra). I'll have to remember to get some photos next time I'm over there. Leanne

Hi Richard, just tried rcbuyers, but didn't seem to have them listed. Found them at: http://www.hobbyexpress.com/pins.htm Cheers Leanne

I've ended up going for a Donegan Optivisor 2.5x mag 8" focal length to start. Went for ground glass lenses rather than plastic to help prevent scratching $47.44AUD including shipping to Canberra, Australia. Yay Amazon! Now for the mail to arrive....
-
Finally, underway again... have been a bit side tracked on other projects for a few months - most recently building a chicken coop in readiness for chicks arriving in the next few days. Just got the roof to go... But back to the shipyard. 1st layer of planking begins... Onward...
