- Awww- come on---don't you get it ;-)--Cher Noble ;-);-);-)0
- Fred!,<br /> I guess I'll have to build me a Pirate Ship. So I can sail up to the Inner port and do some raiding and sei"Z"ed and capture some of those great looking building and any other thing I can find! I hope your ship in port is ready for battle ;-)! ;-)0
- Fred where are all the foot ropes,0
- That reminds me of a true sea story-- I had a bosun named Mikie Noble and his wife had a baby while we were on station- I asked him if she named the child "Charlie" ( as in water cooler) he said no - it was a girl and they named her "Cher" ;-)0
- Yup- or Charlie Noble0
- Fred! That's like sending a new sailor for some Chow Line, or Sky Hook, Or even a pad eye stretcher! Or go find some relative Bearing grease. ;-)0
- Thanks Garth- That means a lot- unfortunately my imagination is a whole lot bigger than my modules.;-)<br />Walt- in the navy the mooring lines were numbered. Confusing if you put out 1 and 3- or was that a 2;-);-)<br />In the merchants they were named head, breast spring etc and location. Shore line- we always sent new sailors for 30 fathoms of shore line. He never found it ;-) It's where the water meets the shore:P<br />Surprised Moo hasn't piped up; he trod those bricks and strolled her decks a couple of months ago.;-)0
- Fred, I've used nylon 3 strain Line and manila line, double braided nylon (. There's a lot of terms for shore line. we had six shore lines on the ship three FWD and three Aft. 1&6 where breast lines. There were four that cross each other line 2&3, 4&5 called spring Lines those kept the ship from movement FWD and AFT. This was on the FFG's, DDG's, LST, FF, that I was on. The sub Tender took more because she was larger ship. We use heaving line to get these mooring lines to the pier. these heaving lines had a monkey fist with 8oz. lead inside them for weight. 125ft of cotton clothes line cord. as you know these where use to pull the lines to the pier. They would be really hard to make in "Z" scale even thread would be to big!0
- Another ex navy man here - That should be on a module would win best of show for sure0
- Thanks for your comments..Much Appreciated !<br />Walt- did you use shore line??<br />;-)0
- Fred! nice looking ship! Being a Boatswains Mate in the Navy I learned most of the knots use in the running rigging and standing rigging. I love ships to I use to have a few of them! They are fun to build. the rigging takes most of the work. I like all the detail you put in your work! great job!0
- Fred, a really good looking model!!:-)0
