gjdale Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share #426 Posted August 24, 2013 Okay, I know I should be packing as we leave first thing on Monday morning, but........ I still had the tools set up, so I ran another "production run" of the 3/16" (4.75mm) blocks, experimenting a bit more with the sheave hole placement. Here's the result...... I think these are just about "export" quality, although there are a couple that need to be weeded in the QC process (one right near the centre front for example). Alright, that's me done in the shipyard until early October. I will no doubt drop in on a few of your logs over the next month, and I may even post the odd "tourist" pic. mobbsie, augie, Dan Vadas and 3 others 6 Quote Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjdale Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share #432 Posted September 2, 2013 Thanks all for the good wishes for our trip (and the kind words regarding the blocks). We're one week into the trip now, and to keep things ship modelling related, we did visit the Musee Nationale de la Marine in Paris. Very interesting and some great models. I took lots of pics for you know who, but as I don't have the ability to resize them from the iPad, posting them will have to wait until we get home. So far in the last week, after leaving home on Monday morning, we spent a total of 22 hours flying time, one day in Hong Kong (to break the flight), arrived London on Wednesday and spent the day walking around Winchester (UK), Thursday went to Oxford (UK) for the day, caught the train to Paris from London on Friday, did a three hour night time tour of the Louvre that evening (best time to go - far fewer people), Maritime Museum and Eiffel Tower on Saturday, Palace of Versailles on Sunday, Montmartre today followed by a Night Photography tour, from which we've just returned. Tomorrow is Notre Dame and Musee Rodin, then it's back to London on Wednesday. We are exhausted, but have been having a ball. Only two downers so far. Managed to get my pocket picked on the Metro train, despite taking precautions. Fortunately, they only got my ready use cash (about $100). Second (and by far the greater tragedy) was allowing the Admiral to choose the restaurant that night. Neither of us speak French and she unwittingly (or so she says) managed to take us to a vegan restaurant of all things! She is still laughing about it..........I'm not!!! When I say that I am a carnivore, I'm being polite about it! Fortunately, some of the food we've had since has restored my gastronomic balance. The Admiral has had restaurant choosing rights suspended until further notice. If it doesn't bleed, it's not going on my plate! Second Shipmodelling link - Photography tour was also about learning how to use the camera properly, so hopefully I'll be able to take better pics in the future, especially since we're doing more of these in both Florence and Venice later in the trip. I'll try not to turn this into a travel log, but if I can make any tenuous maritime / ship modelling links, I might just drop in a line or two - assuming I can find the time and energy. At the rate were going that's looking more likely NOT to be the case! rdsaplala, Sjors and mtaylor 3 Quote Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can read between the lines that you have a great time over there. It's not that far from where we are living but still to far ( 4 1/2 hour drive ) I shall wait patiently for the pictures of your trip. Maybe it is easy to post them on Picassa web and put the link in your build log so we can all see the great pictures ?

gjdale Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share #440 Posted September 7, 2013 OK, they got me! I arrived at Chatham station (UK) to meet Mobbsie for our tour of Chatham Dockyard, and was delightfully surprised to be met by Sjors and Anja as well. What a wonderful surprise it was too. We all had a great day at Chatham Dockyard where Mobbsie had arranged a private viewing of the model collection. What a treat! We were like kids in a candy store! Then we all came back to Mobbsie's place where his Admiral (Christine) had prepared a delicious roast dinner. We all ate and drank and told tall tales and true, amid much laughter. Had the opportunity to inspect Mobbsie's work first hand - and I have to say it looks even better in the flesh than in the pictures he has posted. Sjors has already posted a few pics, but here is one of all of us. I'm the one looking like Santa Claus minus the red suit! What a great example of the power of this forum, to bring together people from all over the world, and on meeting for the first time it's like we have been lifelong friends. Thanks Mobbsie for arranging it all, and thanks Anja and Sjors for making the effort to come over for the weekend. And of course, thanks to Admiral Christine (C-in-C Home Fleet) for your gracious hospitality. rdsaplala, WackoWolf, texxn5 and 10 others 13 Quote Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texxn5 Posted September 8, 2013 Share #444 Posted September 8, 2013 Grant, isn't that the truth. What an awesome site. I just almost did the same thing with Henry (popeye2sea) on the USS Constitution in Boston. Here I am from Texas meeting a guy from Boston and having the entire ship (a National Monument)to ourselves after hours and no one on board except us and the watch. What an event of a lifetime. And Henry was just like an old friend I'd known forever. Bringing people together with common interests from all walks of life and creating lasting friendships. How cool is that! All because of this forum and the wonderful people that are part of it! Next time maybe we can drag in Augie, and all the rest of the "Moose Crew" together and have a conventiion!!!!

Patrick Haw Posted September 16, 2013 Share #448 Posted September 16, 2013 Hi Grant, Just saw on Lawrence's log that you're in Florence now and heading to Venice in a few days. I was in Venice for the third time in June and just love the city. Stay away from the tourist traps along the Grand Canal and just take off walking. You'll get lost for sure, but you will find some amazing treats in the back streets and hidden piazza's. Enjoy!
