Jim Lad Posted March 20, 2014 Author #124 Posted March 20, 2014 Well, Francis seems to be slightly stalled at the moment. I got hardly anything done last Wednesday due to there being hardly any visitors in the museum. No, that isn't an oxymoron, because there were no visitors the volunteer guides were all bored out of their minds so kept coming to have a chat to the friendly model maker. At lest I got a couple more square frames on. Here she is at the moment. John KevinR, Mirabell61, Bindy and 12 others 15 Quote

Jim Lad Posted May 15, 2014 Author #132 Posted May 15, 2014 Well, it's been a lonnnnnnnnnnng time since I've posted an update. This is partly due to the fact that not a lot of progress has been made, partly because I've missed a couple of days at the museum and also partly due to the fact that I keep forgetting to take my camera with me when I go in to the museum! A few more frames have been raised and hopefully the framing will go a little more quickly from now on. I'm finally at the stage where the remainder of the frames are rough cut, so while I'm waiting for glue to dry on one frame I can be finishing the next one ready for fitting. A couple of frames are going to need adjustment at the fairing stage as, for some unknown reason they're slightly too long - but too long is easy to cut down at the final fairing stage.

gjdale Posted May 15, 2014 #133 Posted May 15, 2014 Glad to see you remembered the camera at last John! She's looking very nice indeed. And certainly easier to fix some frames that are a little too long, than a little too short!

BANYAN Posted May 15, 2014 #135 Posted May 15, 2014 Lookin' good John, she will make a very pretty little craft indeed.

Jim Lad Posted May 17, 2014 Author #145 Posted May 17, 2014 Thanks Pete and Bob! Bob - If I leave the camera at the museum I then have two problems - 1) How do I transfer the photos to my computer, and 2) I've been using my wife's camera as mine is a bit big and bulky to take in!

popeye the sailor Posted May 18, 2014 #146 Posted May 18, 2014 you could get one like I have..........just a run of the mill Kodak 'easy share'........to keep at the museum. it has a few bells and whistles and takes some fairly decent pictures. it will dock to any computer.....so if you have a computer you can use at the museum, you can transfer them to a memory stick and bring them home.
