Popular Post KNP Posted February 1, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) Decided to paint what I built and see what it looked like on the deck. I think I will move the winch controls to the bow end as this appears to be where some them are.... Decision pending Need to sort that dingy out Edited March 24 by KNP 31 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prizes not awarded for first person to show his age and identify this reference in a correct Brummie accent. Perhaps not so old. Wikipedia says that Petunia (and Joe) made a return appearance in 2018, 50 years on. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Crofts Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I think I may have been the one to mention fenders and if so I wish I hadn't because I have been right through my collection of photos of working boats and working harbours and haven't found a single photo of a fender pre WWII. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still very funny after all those years and Petunia still has a prehensile lizard tongue: Edit: I love the way Joe very carefully reads the speech bubble through his binoculars.

JSWM Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Fan bloomintastic layout Kev! Words fail me. Up to page 126 and the references to Pendon are more than justified. I've visited that master piece for more than 40 years and have every decade since and yours is equal in almost every scenic department if not better. Would love to see more of the characters that populate the place but relaise at about 3 quid a piece that could cost a fortune. Keep up the good work as its never finished! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted February 7, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Progress update on Snowflake. I have been waiting for the navigation lights to arrive and they did a couple of days ago resulting on them being fitted and now the Puffer can go to sea.... A few quick snaps. Standing on the deck next to bridge whilst chatting to the skipper Not my best picture but it does give some idea of the rigging and the steaming light pulley system. Now some ordinary pictures not using post focus but taken about 1m away to get the depth of view and then heavily cropped Edited March 24 by KNP 23 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted February 7, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) The Squadron Leader was out and about on a tourist trip over the channel and spotted a ship steaming slowly along. Swopping down and flying into the afternoon sun he caught the vessel from both directions PS - not quite astronomically correct as the as the sun seems to have changed 180 degrees!!!!…….but I don't think anyone will notice!

RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted February 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2020 That rigging is exquisite! The whole build is so realistic - itreminds me of hours spent as a youth in the science museum admiring the intricacies of model ships! Mr Basset Lowke didn’t weather his ship models though. Today he has overdone the weathering with steampunk. 1 5 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Kevin, first thing I noticed even before I’d got to your postscript. If she’d been at anchor you might've been able to claim the tide had turn and she’d swung to it... Looking better with each posting, though, utterly believable! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
