Rob.
You could try popping it in your photo albums and reload it from there.
Rob.
I have now drawn out the contours on my harbour ready for Routing out tomorrow.
Your process is fascinating Rob
The picture disappeared for me too. I edited the post and put the picture up again. It had disappeared from the site.
Yep, got it again Jonas.
Have a Happy Christmas.
Rob.
Same to you, Rob! Merry Christmas!
See it now, thanks Jonas! Merry Christmas to you all!
Starting a booknook for my daughter

If I may ask Vol, what is a booknook?
Rob.
Arrived a few minutes ago, and just in time for Christmas, my present from number one son. This contains the rest of the bits and bobs for my latest seaport construction work, which will recommence after the holiday. Can't wait till I get to open it tomorrow.

A booknook is a mini scene disguised as a book that can be set in a bookshelf. Examples:

Just about any scene from a book or imagination. They are becoming quite popular. My youngest daughter wants a Diagon Alley nook to set with her Harry Potter collection, and the older daughter wants the Mines of Moria for her bookshelf.
Thanks for the clarification Vol.
i learn something new every day on the Anchorage.
I now await the finished booknote with bated breath.
Rob.
Oh I seriously doubt my effort will be as nice as the ones pictured, lol
It’ll be interesting to see what you build, Vol.
I have started on Rayo.

That is a pretty ship Jonas! The figurehead looks interesting. Is that an extended arm?
I have many Bolt Action figures to work on, which has added to the slow growing "pile of shame".
I say slow, but it's growing rather quicker than I expected!
Yes. Simon was hesitant about the figurehead but I hoped he’d keep this correct one with the extended arm. I guess he made a compromise as he kept it but made it a bit oversized. I guess he had problems printing it.
I printed his resin 1:700 ship at 70% to get an as detailed version as possible and had no problems at all. Printed like a dream as all of his ships do.
Looking very good so far Jonas. The extended arm gives a certain air of rightness even if it is a bit elongated.
Rob.
My pile extends back to the late 1970's, so I believe I have you all beat!:takecover::minis:
Yes. My oldest unpainted stuff is from the early to mid eighties. (83-84?) You beat me.
You certainly have me there Vol. I cleared up most of my backlog when I retired. The oldeat remaining figure is a Joseph Bugman on a barrel which was a spoecial only obtainable from Bugman's bar at Games Workshop HQ. That is the start of my 30 years remaining pile to do.
Rob.
I still have unpainted Elan Merch Bakshi LOTR minis, various Heritage Grenadier and Ral Partha fantasy figs. And I have quite a few Ral Partha and Minifigs historicals.
I think you've both got me beat for the "best pile of shame" award. :happy:
I've also been printing out some models too, so that's adding even more! I've recently been printing off some terrain for use with wargaming.

Really need that black paint now. It’s in the mail…
Are those the resin masts and sails Jonas?
I was rather intrigued by the glimpse of those masts too Jonas.
Rob.
Yes they are.
Attachment 57226
How well do they hold up for rigging, strength wise? And are they Henry's or Simon's? Sorry Jonas, I am sure you have answered these questions before, but I'm old and can't remember .....
I resemble that remark Vol! :sad:
Rob.
In passing I now have my pressies unpacked and am placing the new bits around the plan.
This afternoon and evening I cut and shunted parts for the first corner of the model.
It’s Simon’s Black Sea sails for two dollars or something like that. I have scaled them as I’ve written in an earlier post.
The masts hold up well. They are quite sturdy. The bowsprit isn’t as sturdy, but that was designed by me.
I probably should try to design a version that have a steel rod/pin as the base as Simon’s sails does.
Rob, I am in awe of your project. So much detail! Looking forward to seeing the end results!
I am in awe of the space Rob must have to store all of the amazing terrain he builds!
It all fits into a three drawer plans chest thus far Vol, but this may be my last project as there will only be enough room to fit this one in.
Rob.
A bit more progress today on the curtain wall.
So I thought I would try my hand at rigging. I started small with a Sloop and Brig (center). Sorry about the quality of the pix.
I am trying to decide which ship to do next.
