Geez Rhino, another ship? I know, I know. The British MV Steyning, built in 1955 was a coastal Collier. I imagine a coastal Collier is s vessel that carries coal in coastal and in littoral areas and rivers as well. By 1955, coal-burning ships of the Royal Navy were no longer en' vogue, so...

Cartoon-ish white stripe, GONE!! Bluenose has her fore and main masts stepped. She's starting to look a little more schonner-ish! The call "All hands, make sail" is about to come over the 1MC.

Hey Mr. DeMoss! Many are the model miscreants that abound here. (Not that many, truly!) Your big, shiny models will bring another welcome splash of color to our drab military content!

I must be content to observe your big scale armor builds. :good: Kits such as these exceed my limits in many ways.

Bluenose' white hull stripes went less than well. She had a repaint but the smallest Tamiya tape I had was 2mm. Very cartoonish-looking indeed! I ordered 1/32" white stripe decals from Microscale. I will black out the sloppy stripes and apply decals instead. I I bought enough of the white...

...and it makes a sound like Maurice Chevalier! "Huo, huo, hou!"

Thanks men! I did ships boats and anchors today.

This is how much sail my HMS Speedy will carry. In any kind of wind, I imagine the Captain Cochrane's little Lady lived up to her name in every way! For my purposes, She still needs her glue shinies flatted, a boat, paint touch-up, flags, and anchors. Real ship model makers will scoff at the...

I'm making sail again. The Master debacle is almost resolved. A few of the new ones are better than the originals. Devon at Reynold's Materials was a big help in devising mixing procedures for MoldMax 10. I have Boccarini on, that last lively tune in "Master and Commander", feeling cheerful...

I have free instruction sheets for 2 of Henry Turner's 1/700 Napoleonic sailing ship gaming designs. It seemed fitting to produce a mold of parts needed to make the masts and rigging more model-like, if one desires to do so. I imagine I will include popular lengths of copper phosphor wire in...

Teresa womped up a shiny, new cat-hair-free pink crochet basket, and I filled it with chocolates that are supposed to make wimmin-people feel cheery. We had a short visit and delivered our card and stuff. Carla only wept a little when she read the card, and laughed out loud at the coupin...

:yipee:

Thanks men! We are "Do Something" people. When tragedy strikes, we feel the need to do SOMETHING to ease the suffering of our friends and neighbors! Here's part of the "something".

Aye, there's a bonny wee bunny!

She's a 32' Chris Craft triple cockpit Barrelback. I'm not so happy with the windscreen. It doesn't look very 1938-ish. Fuel fillers and exhaust pipes will see this 1/350 scale speedboat Master ready to mold.
