Jond Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share #61 Posted April 29, 2021 Building a case for model can be a fun challenge. I tried for my last diorama but it did not succeed. This time I made a sketch and went back to the local glazer who does a nice job 345 i made a sketch and measured it twice 346 to 349 i am happy with it. i hope it makes it to the display next month cheers Roger Pellett, Richvee, Siggi52 and 1 other 4 Quote current builds Elizabeth Howard; HMS Terror; Zebedee F Cliff 4 mast schooner refit Beam Trawler Harvard 1926; Lightships of Boothbay.

Jond Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share #69 Posted August 30, 2022 the day of the launch all started off well. we were among some thirty boats maneuvering in wind and incoming tide. 10:30. there is a land side crowd gathering and several ceremonies on deck finally about 1130 she started to move high tide about 12:30 some thirty minutes later the team must have thought "what's the rush"... perhaps better to be above to see whats happening under the water, and they stopped here we are 24 hours later. they apparently decided to go down at low tide as far as they could while inspecting everything on the way. This revision makes a lot of sense, it's just less flashy. we can see the rail and car ready for the incoming tide. here is a closer view of the roller system that rests on the steel capped timber rails. the heavy chain to pull in and the lighted chain to pull out. Hopefully by this time tomorrow she will floated ccoyle and GrandpaPhil 2 Quote current builds Elizabeth Howard; HMS Terror; Zebedee F Cliff 4 mast schooner refit Beam Trawler Harvard 1926; Lightships of Boothbay.
