this is good, but the old system was better. I could click on the customs tab, select logs that I'm replying to, and lock it, so whenever I went into the forums, the complete list of the logs I'm following would always be there. there is no lock feature for this........I have to make the change every time I want to view the ones I'm following. I'm not sure how many folks do it this way, but it beats thumbing through each page to find the logs I'm following. don't think there is a fix for it either.....it may require an added function.

fits in there like a glove amazing Patrick........such fine detail concerning the room divisions. you may want to cut the small strip going across the aft doorway........major trip factor the engine room looks great! keep up the wonderful work!

thanks gents.....and those who hit the like button. it was good to spend some quality time at the computer again..........even more to do a bit of tinkering no real progress as of yet, but I'm working on it. after reading the suggestion Michael gave me, I set up some of those shackles in my vise.........then I went out to get my propane torch. sadly, the bottle must have been low enough, and the cold of winter robbed the rest of it..........the bottle was empty. I'm shoot'in for a trip to Wal-Mart or some place to get a new bottle.........could've sworn I had one on hand. I'll see what I can come up with today
-
you had me confused for a moment there........I had to look in your signature to see which one was which very nice to see this complex model again.........I also see you've put 'er in the gallery as well. Shadow is shaping up to be just as complex. simply amazing the detail you add in these little beauties!
-
thanks for the good word gents.......it's been a couple of weeks since I've felt like doing anything. "things" are starting to look up {not literally}.......today, I've actually done some bead painting. I'm hoping to get back to a steady head of steam {toot, toot}. thanks Michael.......I never thought of that! have to give that a try

just ran that through my conversion chart. if I did it right, it came to about 8 pounds, 2.5 oz haven't converted anything in a while....I may be off.. when complete, you may be looking at a model that weighs in excess of 10 pounds!

catching up Michael.......you've made some great progress! wish I had the tools to make stanchions like that......they look really nice. it's a good thing you only have to remake a few of the davits.....imagine if you had to redo them all.........whooooo-boy! glad to see the restoration is going well. really something how damage can magnify, when you pick it apart to repair

amazing the amount of detail you've added to the funnels.........they look awesome! you mentioned trimming the vents.......with them tucked inside the model, why would you bother to do it? great job nils.....the funnels will look even better lashed down with the guy wires!

glad to see you've started on your next masterpiece........looks like a very interesting project.

thank you all for the kind comments and all the likes! yes Sam......there should be tiny handles on the wheels. I may try and add something to that effect before I paint it. a lot of the detail was missing........I must study the Masters of Mini. and draw from them thanks John......with an example like that, how could I miss thanks my friend! thanks Bob thanks Patrick........yes, I'm feeling much better. the admiral can tell......I'm eating everything in sight! {forget about the losing weight part earlier........I was just pull'in my own leg! }

very interesting idea for the sails.....as long as you can maintain and keep the wrinkles for the sheet corners, they will look super! those wrinkles add a little extra detail

the dynamic duo! from start to finish, I have to agree that the build time was very well spent........but as I mentioned earlier, a well thought out plan and direction, will hasten a build. they were enjoyable to watch Bob........happy to see you had enough of that window film. congratz to you my friend.....you deserve every accolade for this fine pair of boats.

it's amazing how your taking the plans and populating the decks..........1D to 3D! {I guess that would be correct to say}. distribution of color, pipes.....engine wells........man! your truly on your way to creating a very complex model.........and at a scale that leaves me in awe! fantastic work

hi all.......just a short note to let you know, I'm still bobb'in in the wake. what I thought was a stomach bug, turned out to be that my lower G.I. got washed out by the antibiotics I took. it hasn't been pleasant, but I'm on my fourth day of pro biotics, and slowly getting my house back in order. thanks for the well wish Patrick, and thanks to all who hit the like button. thanks Jesse.......I hope something will benefit you. I usually go in with an open mind.......something comes to it sooner or later.

as you can see by my posting on a Sunday.......I did not go to work. I'm still battling the effects of the stomach bug. I won't go into too much detail.......distasteful as it is, let's just say, that after two days, I'm back up and running again. the one good day I had did result in a bit of progress........the other day was spent at work on Saturday.......by the end of the day though.......I was hoping that the little blue pill I took, would wear off!. to dress up the pump, I ended up doing a few attempts, bending the shaft to accept the three connecting rods. I had drilled out the cylinders to give them more room. when I had one that was reasonable enough, brass eye bolts were used as connecting rods.....a little tedious to get them all in order. it still needs to be trimmed.......but at least it is now assembled. thanks for your patience.
