  1. Looking superb mate happy thanksgiving to you and the family. OC.
  2. Good start I like the way the support beams have the correct deadrise. (slope from for to aft) OC.
  3. Phil just another thought about your beakhead gratting, dont foreget you will need to feed the gammoning rope that comes up from the beak slot/s, and wraps around the bowsprit several times thats then seized in the middle under the bowsprit. OC.
  4. You need to sit down or stand still when spaying denis - no good running around,😝 Looking great mate. OC.
  5. I agree with lou - very very nice looking kite (my late dads term) its coming along really well. OC.
  6. This was the first modelship I ever built as a kid - sat at the window table for hours over several days building this - thank you for reigniting my memories. OC.
  7. "Carrier develops list as Huge lighter enters deck - must belong to a giant" OC.
  8. Just me causing trouble - whitling man leaves room gently backwards. OC.
  9. Great to have you in the family - those pieces of engineering are gorgeous. OC.
  10. Thats the ticket phil, should help the tention on the bowsprit when you fit it and rig it. OC.
  11. Mark can pick you up. OC.
  12. Just out of interest - for any future builds you guys are doing etc - can you get scale metal chains for bikes? thought they would look supweb. OC.
  13. Just a suggestion phil - where the beak head comes up and you have it flush with the heads decking, it would be good if you made an extion of the beak head as I understand it was designed so the bowsprit can rest on it. You would need to test dry fit the bowsprit first to get an idea of how much gap there is under neath where the beak head comes through. OC.
  14. That looks really smart - adds so much depth to the front will look reaaly nice with the blue paintwork. OC.
  15. A bit like me - mojo gone for a seriously long walk - trying to intice it back aint easy is it mate. OC.
  16. Just as chris said - very fine work indeed. OC.
