Remcohe Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share #692 Posted August 2, 2014 Thanks guys. Hlipplaa, sorry I must have missed your question, I used holy for planking and castello for the other details for the cutter and the longboat. So here's how the story goes, the officer of the marines chased off the annoying rat that has been lurking in my ship's hold for the past years. Meanwhile Paddy the calico ship's cat indulged himself on the remaining mice on the ship and fell asleep on the marine offices bed place.

dvm27 Posted August 3, 2014 Share #702 Posted August 3, 2014 A wonderful story, Remco, but you will have to change one detail. Calico cats are overwhelmingly females except for the rare hermaphrodite (I've seen only a couple in 35 years of practice). I'd need a higher resolution photo to verify it though. dgbot, Mike Y, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remcohe Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share #709 Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys, girls, Sorry Karl, we have a very strict guns regulation in The Netherlands so I will not be dwelling in that direction. Greg, you obviously now more about domestic cats than I do, so I'll change the story and will name her Patches. Forum rules will not allow me to show hi res pictures of the parts you would like to investigate for the greater good of science. But here's a better one for everybody to study.... Mark, just show the admiral the musket holes in my riding bitts and if she still persist on having a cat I can send Patches (aka kitty soft pawns) over to you. This 5mm critter will do no harm to your beautiful Bellona. So enough fun and to keep myself out of the asylum I continued making the sheer strake, update will follow soon.
