Well, I was at the museum yesterday and the Stag was sitting on the desk in front of me, but very little happened.

 

Firstly, there was a conference on in the next gallery and every time they had a break the delegates would come over for a chat to fill in time.

 

Secondly, I decided to do a bit of extra work on the sheet bitts as I wasn't really satisfied with them.  The first thing I did with them was to break one side off while trying to drill a hole for a dowell to make them stronger (looks like that dowell was needed).  Then I carefully placed the broken piece on the desk so it would be safe and it promptly disappeared - completey - without trace!  How that can happen on a clean and clutter free desk I don't know, but it did.

 

Next, I decided to try making a few blocks.  I only need one treble block for the Stag, so after completing it I carefully placed it on a piece of white paper on the cutting mat so it wouldn't get lost - and it too disappeared!!!!

 

At that stage I thought a cup of coffee was a good idea!

 

During the rest of the day I only managed to get a few blocks made, but at least I'm progressing.

The few blocks made during the day.

And a few photos showing the ridiculaous spread of the fore and aft spars.  Only the bowsprit is permanently fitted at the moment, but just placing the spars in their positions gives a good idea of the size of the rig.

John those are some long mast and spars. I am going to suppose that you will have the sails furled.... but maybe not?

HIde the detail?  The size of the sails for those spars will hide the whole ship!  :P  :P

I agree with Mark. John maybe you should put sails, they will work double duty. Look good on the boat and keep the dust off the stag. As for your missing items, you better keep your stag close, at 1/96 they going slip that boat in their back pocket and run............haha!

Thank You all...

Sounds like you had an interesting day John.  If it wasn't the Kleptomanic mice taking your parts, I think you have to assume you had a delegate with a very special interest in your work ;)

 

At least you managed to retain a little of your work. :)

 

cheers

HMMMMM!!!

 

   WE'RE TALKING PIECES OF WOOD HERE JOHN, MAYBE YOU GOT THIS PROBLEM HERE

 

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
And chuck as much as a woodchuck would
If a woodchuck could chuck wood.

yea......back in the old days {when I was a lot younger}  there were so many of them,  the fish and game used to pay 50 cents for the nose of every one you shot.   they would wreak havoc in corn fields and gardens......and dig their burrows in just about every place imaginable.

 

 

look forward in seeing morte progress on the stag John.......;)

Both are members of the ground squirrel family. Prairie Dogs are much smaller...up to 3 pounds. Groundhogs can weigh up to 9 pounds. We have lots of the latter here where I live.

We are stuck with the Prarie Dogs out here in the West.  But instead of one or two per square mile, they live in colonies of hundreds all over the place!  Happily for MSW members, they enjoy attacking downed aircraft more than pilfering from the ships' store.
