Do you actually own that Bobo? (Go on, you can tell us. We're all friends here.)

regrettably not. It's my sons.

It's the 'Sarah Palin collector's edition Barbie'. Worth a fortune, apparently.

Forgive my ignorance but what are those bits of white cloth then?

Very well done, by the way. First class.

First photo was about a month ago. I put the sails on then, seeing them as a real dust trap, took them off again.

HMS ( or HMB) Endeavour.

Her Majesty's Ship or (putting on best Gene Hunt voice) Her Majesty's BASTARD Endeavour.....

Just for the record, Endeavour was a Whitby-built coal carrying Bark, bought for the Navy by Cook and re-fitted as an exploration vessel and renamed His ( George the third) Majesty's Ship in 1768.

In days of yore, TANGO, I often thought of building some sort of ship akin to your current project (it looks magnificent, by the way) but it was the rigging that always put me off launching into such. Whilst I had no doubt as to my ability to construct the vessel itself, it was the prospect of making a mess of the sheets that convinced me not to start. Patience they say is a virtue but, as best I can gather, fumblefingers are not.
reckon id be pretty proud of myself too, but i doubt id be that excited!

Can't believe nobody clocked onto that corker!!

Well done General. Well done

Well done General. Well done

I suspect a few people clocked onto it.

It's just that we need the General to do his job properly and point it out for us.
