  1. thank you Anja
  2. thanks Popeye and Mark. I have finally been able to put the stairs back in . now I just need to reattach the railing there also added the pennant mast partner (although it split in two when I was shaping it ) and the bell outside the steering cabin will show some pictures tomorrow
  3. Mexican ship Otapan ?
  4. lol you beat me on that one David was thinking the same
  5. thanks Robbyn i will follow your advice except for doing some gardening as its mostly been raining here . thanks Anja. yup i took a break on Saturday and Sunday was too busy all day. thanks Mick thanks Randy . yeah i know it will come alright but i want to work on the lights and get that finished so its frustrating me. tonight i ll attempt to put the stairs back in and finish the railings and tidy them up wiht some paint where necessary oh also forgot to mention that i lost one of the curved railing tops . lucily i had teh original broken waqve catcher which was just wide enough to get the correct curve
  6. correct Anja . she has been renamed to C. filyos then Verily and is now called Jon Jin 2 over to you
  7. it hasn't been a good weekend and I feel like I have gone backwards first after realising I still had 8 shutters while only 4 where needed I discovered I forgot to put the 4 shutters at the back 2 windows while determining on how I was going to install them without damaging the railings I noticed that the stairs had split open installing the shutters was easy but as you some of the triangles came off (grrrrrr) when fitting the back small smoke stacks the railing popped off as it was in the path of the stack I had to file the inner part of the railing to fit round the stack. here they are dry fitted as I will wait till the smokestack will be glued in after 3 attempts at fitting in the stairs and breaking it each time, I have no choice and will have to remove the back railing to install it I did manage to finish off most of the railings so no work has been done on the lights this weekend
  8. if I ever order from them I d make a trip to them to have a look at their operation its only about 40 mins drive from here
  9. I would expect they would investigate worse case scenarios so that they can prepare for that. I had a look at the incident of the SS Kielce and was surprised about damage to windows and such as I would expect the shockwave of the explosion to mostly disperse through the water
  10. yup I hear what you are saying. I see they would charge me $10 for anything under $100 . sending some chainplates in a normal envelop would only cost $0.60.
  11. its a typical case of its too big a problem to deal with so I ll just leave it to the next guy to take care off. if they had dealt with it straight after the war they could have removed the ammunition more easily. now I think a controlled explosion would be the best option as all precautions to minimize damage could be taken. leaving it like it is could end up in not only lots of damage but loss of life
  12. which shops did you look at it in oz Randy ? I wonder why shipping costs would be high as it wouldn't weight that much and you can send them in a normal envelop
  13. well the clues helped a lot my next one :
  14. ofcourse Andy you coudl accidently on purpose push it
