gjdale Posted April 22, 2013 Share #603 Posted April 22, 2013 Ah, so that's what they're supposed to look like! Very nicely done Augie. I hope to be at the same stage very soon - I've painted my yards, just waiting to attach the fittings now. I think I'll follow suit using wire for the stirrups. Do you have any close-ups of how you did these?

Anja Posted April 22, 2013 Share #610 Posted April 22, 2013 WOW Augie, Your rigged spars are very neat. They look beautiful. I also hope you will get your last snow for this year. It must become very tiring shoveling all that snow over and over again. And no cooking for Sjors today. Tomorrow it's his. He has his day of tomorrow, so he has the whole day for preparing us a nice meal. Take care, Anja augie 1 Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

Foremast Posted April 26, 2013 Share #626 Posted April 26, 2013 Why "Modern Impressionist" section?

augie Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share #630 Posted April 27, 2013 Hey, someone noticed! With all the recent international saber rattling about who has the most firepower, I decided it was time to replace the Sopwith Pup aircraft with her one (1) 7.9mm machine gun with something a little more potent. Sjors 174 gun double decker thingy convinced me! So here's an upgrade to 9 guns. All 16" with a range of 20 nautical miles carried on a stable platform capable of 33 knots. Oh yeah, there are another 120 'small' guns. She's BB-55, the USS North Carolina, lead battleship in her class which is the class prior to the Iowas. If you're ever in Wilmington, NC don't miss her. I promise you that even for we lovers of the age of sail, she is impressive.
