Going by 3rd and 4th pic's he also takes very good care of his leg hair...though I have heard at a certain age your shins go bald anyway, perhaps that's it.
Perhaps I should stop looking at a dolls legs {:-{

We understand Bernhard...that a Captain should not drink whilst in charge of a vessel :police: <*< ....but his arm motions represent a good drinking image ..... %) :-)) Derek

%) mine will come very soon...Mike made one of his masterpiece for me too
-
Hullo Bernhard....... :D
1. I see a lower boiler water discharge fitting which could be used for the boiler pilot pressure for a gas regulator O0
2. but why the two boiler top 90 degree steam discharge valves? :embarrassed:
Derek
-
hi.............1 fore the engine,,,,1 fore the gas regulator pressure,so if i wont, i can close it,,,,,and 1 fore a whistle,,,
Bernhard
-
Boy, Mike HAS been busy! I received my 3" boiler and gas tank yesterday - I'll post a pic when I can get one taken.
Derekwarner_decoy - "I see a lower boiler water discharge fitting which could be used for the boiler pilot pressure for a gas regulator" The only fitting I can see like that is actually meant to be feed water inlet to the boiler. There's also a blow-down on the sight glass, but nothing on the lower part of the boiler that could be fed to a regulator. Or am I looking in the wrong place? :D
-
Aeronut4 ....in image 201.jpg we see
@ 9.00 o'clock a steam isolation valve
@ 6.00 o'clock a steam isolation valve
@ 3.00 o'clock a steam relief valve
The fitting I assumed was suitable for the pilot pressure for the gas regulator is directly below the 6.00 o'clock position but just up from the boiler base.... :o ....however you are also correct :-)) in that it could be used as a make up water inlet.......Derek
-
Ready it is,,,,,,,,hope the spring will be here sun,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Oh Bernhard, that looks super! Is that the 'ebay engine'?
Derek - the fitting to which you refer is a feedwater clack valve, so you couldn't use it 'as is' to feed the gas regulator, unless you removed the ball.
-
hi...........Thanks..OK .no this is the Puffin,,,the other one is a Plover it is a littel smaller..bot i will try the Puffin first
Bernhard
-

-

It's the subtle details that make your models stand out Bernhard. How many years of paint are on the hull structure? On the last photo, the build up in the corners aren't unintentional "Sploshing".
Regards Ian.
-
hi Thanks........... 2 times resin it make the hull so strong and hard,,,..and so 2--3 times good old oil paint.,in and autside ...with a brush....i don't like it to by to clean or perfect...
Regards Bernhard
-
:-)) I have purchased rope from Miskins before for my schooner model. Excellent quality!
I was asking about the brass cleat/bollard that is in the center of the bow & stern. It is of a style I am looking for to use on my torpedo stern launch.
I was wondering if you had found those from a supplier or made them.
Thanks!
-
hi...OK..........Yes,,i made them...
Regards Berrnhard
-
O0 Why am I not surprised! {-)
