Bomber_County Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Thanks guys for the pics, absolutely stunning.........your Nats are on my bucket list..........if any of you get to Telford let me know. To me having your Nats over 4 days make sense, unfortunately Telford is only two days ......... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FME erk Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Some great stuff to be seen there, I particularly like the Doolittle raiders on the carrier. Must be great to be able to walk around and see space between oneself and another punter, makes taking photos easier. Many thanks for sharing those photos chaps, its always good to see how well other make the same stuff as us 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazypoet Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Somebody managed to stretch out my mast rigging, so i’ll have to do it over when I get it home my guess is that it happened while one of the judges was handling it - it looks like they bumped the rigging lines while looking at some of the interior details 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s never good. I was looking at your build earlier, sir, and it’s stunning. I love wooden boats. Is it plastic or Mono Line? Or did you use metal? I’m just wondering if the humidity got to it, because even the close ones look a bit sagged on the bottom by the turnbuckles. I fight that issue constantly with my WNW builds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nylon thread, which i’ve used in the past - it’s pretty tough stuff. i checked a bit ago, and the boiler was a bit loose where it’s pinned to the deck - it seems that it took a bit of a bump. Nothing that isn’t fixable - I just hope that it happened *after* the judges made their decision! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaS Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Great pics guys! Thank you for sharing! Great to see some of the guys here represented. Lots of talent there. My local show is coming soon. I've volunteered to judge this year. Hope I remember my glasses. Not submitting anything, though. My skillz need more honing. Gaz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, my helo was damaged too, they moved it to another table, broke off an antenna, and pushed two more into the tail boom, and nobody made an notes on my paper, but at least those antennas drew blood (.005 piano wire, ouch)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
