wonderful

These are the traditional plans of the model I want to make/have made. I just need to get hold of the digital version. Apparently the scale on some plans get altered but are not always annotated with the new scale.
|

|

I was talking to the man in charge of ship's plans at the National Maritime Museum yesterday and apparently they have digitised most of the plans so they can now be used to make a 3D model. I now have to find out how much a 3D model would cost. A model maker quoted £7k for building a model from the plans.

This is the wreck of a LCT on Chesil Beach, although American built it was manned by RN Personnel.

I must admit there are at least three types but presume the artist painted what was there, and of course it covers the period in 43. A good record hopefully.

Two MGBs painted in Weymouth Harbour in 1943 with some great details of guns with the Nothe Fort in the background.

Love the Lancaster and the Victory section. Thought you might like photos of the iron and pebble ballast and the barrels on the Victory.

Some interesting thoughts and information coming out of this post.

Two models seen at the Plymouth Gin Factory in the Barbican. Whilst there I had to sample the product and chose the Plymouth Navy Gin, which is gunpowder proof at over 57% and like drinking a single malt compared to a blend. Recommended. We were in Plymouth for the IMASS shipwreck conference the next day, which ranged from Byzantine to WW1 Naval shipwrecks, including HMS Hampshire and HMS Vanguard.

Ballast. Rack shown on the two knight heads supporting the mast so called as they usually have carved heads, this photo of theones on the Golden Hind. Foreknights mentioned as being recovered from a wreck meant the knightheads supporting the foremast, presumably main and mizzen knights for the other masts

We use thorl pins in wooden boats instead of rowlocks where the wood attached to the oar has a hole and the wooden cheek's weight counter balances the weight of the length of the oar. Interesting to know the connection with belaying pins and the quick release of the shrouds by knocking them out. thowel Thole Thole, n. [Written also thowel, and thowl.] [OE. thol, AS. [thorn]ol; akin to D. dol, Icel. [thorn]ollr a fir tree, a young fir, a tree, a thole.] A wooden or metal pin, set in the gunwale of a boat, to serve as a fulcrum for the oar in rowing. --Longfellow.

I do a lot of wreck research and one of the reasons I joined was to find a sea plane tender that had picked up the pilot from a 1941 plane I had found underwater. I needed a photo of a similar boat but couldn't find the tender on the web. I mentioned it on here and back came a photo of the self same sea plane tender from RNMunich? That meant so much to me but I have been intrigued by the details and research modellers do on here. I felt so grateful that I donated to such a great site.

£7? How do you do it? Lovely steam yacht. One very similar to that one came into Weymouth harbour in the 60s and we cleaned the barnacles off her hull, trying to remember what it was called. The Channel Island steamers made a hell of a noise when we were underneath her.

You got a bargain with that boat, where are you? Was it a boat sale?

You can get very robust and waterproof toggle switches from companies that make underwater torches for divers. I have never had any trouble with them because of leakage or rusting. Try Birchley Products at http://www.birchleyproducts.co.uk/

do you have any sea plane tender ones?

I have a yacht that has been in the family since the 50s at least, I must fix the missing rigging.
