Thursday, August 7th, 2014 I'm installing the anchors, perhaps the last work of a certain commitment that still remains to do. I'm still missing one anchor on the right side and then this task is over. After several attempts to build a decent cable with the ropewalk machine starting from far, attempts that have probably identified and highlighted the point of maximum useful usage of this machine, I folded up a simple solution: I've used, on the same machine, a traditional lanyard; that is, a larger starting base and it worked. The only drawback: the cloths. I removed this annoying problem by impregnating the cable with the vinyl glue very diluted. Once dry it was a bit stiffer than they should, but gradually I made it suitable. The color is a bit off but maybe that's okay because if the cable was immersed for a long time certainly did not have to appear as if it were new. Regards, Jack. 01 CAM00283.jpg  02 CAM00284.jpg  03 CAM00290.jpg  04 CAM00289.jpg  05 CAM00282.jpg

Friday, August 8th, 2014 . . Soleil Royal Launched. . Today I did the last activities around the Soleil Royal, and towards evening, I realized that I had really finished the model . . After 1550 days from the yard opening, back in April 18th, 2010, now I can finally say: "I'm done" this model. Below are some pictures I publish here but I want to limit myself to only five. I proceeded instead to open in the site "Gallery of completed models" the topic "Soleil Royal, Jack.Aubrey, 1:70, De Agostini" >>>>> http://www.deagostinipassion.com/forum/posts/list/27752.page <<<<< where I will publish all the pictures I shot and that I'll shoot of the finished model in the next few days. These images can be downloaded at the original size. So with this message, I am going to close this endless building log. However, I'll continue to follow it in case of further comments/messages that will be inserted in the future. Thank you from now on to all who were involved and who have followed me in this long adventure. Now I will take a couple of months as a "reflection pause" even if I'm already at work from now with my computer and CAD software to design and plan my next model. A cordial greeting, Jack.Aubrey. 01 P1090926.jpg  02 P1090909.jpg  03 P1090908.jpg  04 P1090907.jpg  05 P1090906.jpg

The major problem was to edit all the messages in each topic to change the link to every published individual image, not to retrieve the images. It's long time I archived all my photos on my computers and this wasn't a big problem. Anyway a huge amount of work . . thanks to Photobucket; in addition they sent me a week ago a questionnaire to evaluate their service . . I won't say what I thought..!!

As a company i cannot think photobucket have done themselves any favours. Just about every forum or modelling site you look at have that message rather than a picture showing. Be interesting to see how long they keep going now as a company. Happy Modelling
