Well I cut it close, but did manage to get one blog post in this month. The HMS Agamemnon is up on the blog. Who knew that summer would be a distraction to painting, photographing and blogging? Please check it out at: mymodelsailingships.com BWW |

We all have those days. I remember a particular incident, thinking I was pulling a stray thread off a nearly-completed model… Only to discover it was still attached. The tug pulled the model into a freshly-squeezed blob of paint. Yuck. After an emergency cleaning, I compounded that problem by trying to sever the troublemaking thread with an exacto knife (it was in an awkward spot, so I couldn't get the snips in), while still angry. That careless cut severed the stray thread… And a bunch of stays in addition. All this after the running rigging was already finished! Needless to say, that particular boat took longer than expected. |

Ouch, sorry. The link from warwell is the correct one, and that's what I get for typing links at 3:25 AM. It should indeed be: link |

Prince Suvorov, Oh, while I haven't done that, I can imagine from my own experiences what sort of ugly language it caused. As for the snips, many years ago my wife got me a pair of what are called "bow spring scissors" ( link ) and to be honest, I don't think I could now work without them. They are excellent for getting into tight places like that. Here's a picture:

Well done man! Sometime, we have all despaired with the threads… |
