Question of the Day?

Check the charts. Its offically designated the North Channel with the western approach to the Mull of Kintyre.🤓
I chose Mull of Kintyre as answer because it was the closest to that point

Question of the Day?

I agree Nick, except that it is surrounded on three sides by water.
It is a peninsular with a somewhat amusing shape on a normal Mercator projection map😮🙈😁
So not a stretch of water at all. Another 'None of the above' question🙄
I always thought that the actual name of that stretch of water is 'North Passage'.
Something like this came up in a QOTD some months back.
Caused a controversy back then as well.
Elimination of three nonsense answers led to the Holmesian conclusion that the MoK was the solution looked for.
Ciao, Doug😎

Question of the Day?

Mull of kintyre is a land mass and no connection to water, in fact none of the answers are right.

If these questions are based on the American question of the day again they have got it wrong.

Wow that's good, one in a row. That's as good as the clock in my classic Rover. That's always right twice a day at 8:00- 0' clock.

You have a better chance of getting the question right if you read the full sentence. I missed the word model leading me to pick internal combustion as my answer. Must learn to spell and read before answering.

Question of the Day?

I do posess a razor saw, but I also have a Proxxon table saw very accurate, a laser cutter, even more accurate, and a mini jigsaw. I rarely use the razor saw these days...
If it don't fit, use a hammer to make it fit....

Question of the Day?

I scratch build everything.
I have a nice little table saw I use often. Sometimes I also use a razor saw and sometimes a jig saw. Therefore I agree the correct answer is Titanic
The sure way to succeed is, just try one more time

Question of the Day?

I do not see how 'intricate and detail' work is relavent? I shall still use my jig saw and I would use my A4 size circular saw for cutting precise straight in small pieces of wood.
In this question Titanic woulkd have been a valid option!

Question of the Day?

Hey all,
I also prefer my laser cutter for thin wooden panels. Since then, my parts have been very accurate, which made me decide in favour of buying this device.
The important thing is to take the time to test and find the perfect settings.
Patience, people, patience is the modeller's most important quality, use it,
because everyone has it!
Everyone works the way they do best and that's what I like about all your boats.
Best regards,

Question of the Day?

They still make the ropes in Chatham, but only for the Navy so I have heard. But it was never as big as Portsmouth that is the largest in England, and not used for as much of the Naval purposes as Portsmouth.

Question of the Day?

Even though its not that old am surprised no one mentioned Chatham Dockyard est in 16 century it was of importance to the navy. They still make rope lines there, or they did when I was last🤗 there.

Yepp yeep;
Was again valuable to listen to the dry historical subject matter.
Our history teacher was able to tell the story in such an exciting way that we forgot all about the break!
With today's possibilities, this can be shown even more visibly. Teachers used to be respected. . . . well

Torodog not sure if the lusitania was about in 1588???

Question of the Day?

Well that was a bit of a teaser! But to have Titanic and Lusitania as options, well it has made my day!

Things are back to normal, us oldies don't like change, but not because I don't want to changez, it is just that the younger ones have a habit of screwing it all up!
