Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 9, 2019 Author Administrators Posted August 9, 2019 Yep. I drove 800 miles in 12 hours. Not a horrible ride on the interstate. 5
Ryan Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Yeah I’m back home, couldn’t stay the whole event. 645 miles for me. 5

Ryan Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Don’t feel bad I’m only tolerable in short bursts anyway. 5

Bomber_County Posted August 10, 2019 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
FME erk Posted August 10, 2019 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

crazypoet Posted August 10, 2019 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
crazypoet Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Don’t know how I missed this one yesterday... it’s fun! 4

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

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

smitty44 Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Thats not what the Milenium Falcon looks like. .this is what the Milenium Falcon looks like! 4
GazzaS Posted August 10, 2019 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

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
