Positive feedback for my article on building the barquentine Bellmore in the current issue of Model Boats has now started to come in which is very satisfying, as it was quite a task to draw up the plans and produce the article.

My writing career began over 40 years ago with my first articles in Model Boats in the days of typewriters and carbon paper. How times change.

Three came in today, but I have not seen the article myself yet – expect it will arrive soon – Bob

The article is very well written and made for enjoyable reading, Long Builds dog must be well educated to be able to digest its content.

Good read………Thank you.

I wasn't expecting any feedback, so pleasant surpise!

I was pleased to oblige. Off to Northwest Model Shipwrights today, so it will be interesting to see if any of them comment as quite a few are subscribers.

Hi All

I have feedback if somebody thinks I've drawn the plan with a mistakes but having built the prototype from the plan it can't be that far out , so sometimes silence is golden

I got a copy of Model Boats this morning, and was very pleased to see my article "Bellmore" Part I has turned out very well. I was also pleased to see that my new (2nd hand) camera has produced some very good images. It is a Fujifilm Finepix S200EXR digital that I got from one of those Cash Converter shops. I take the photographs with the camera on a short tripod set to automatic so it takes the picture 2 seconds after I press the button. Camera settings 100 ISO at F8 and whatever shutter speed the camera selects on those settings. Probably obsolete by now, but it is the best camera I have ever had. I certainly don't regret the demise of the film camera.
