Congratulations to Brian Roberts who has just completed his Imara. I am so pleased that all that time and effort has now come together in a superb model. I am also a little sad as I now will not be able to look forward to the regular updates that Brian used to send, and would like to thank him for allowing us to share in his build.
I wonder what his next project will be……………………………..
Brian has kindly supplied some more pics of his Imara and you can see the progress he has made. Most noticeable are the wheelhouse and mast which make the model feel much more complete. I also cannot help but notice just how well the Imara sits in the water, she just looks “right”. I am really jealous now and must get on with mine.
I also had new comments from Fredric West who is yet another “Imara Nutter”. I have asked Fred if he would like to share some pics and details of his Imara experience.
I really must get on with my build. Mark Dixon has kindly supplied some pictures of his recently completed Imara named Ishbel. As you can see I am going to have to put in some serious effort to match both Mark and Brian’s modelling skills.
As usual, more photos are available from the Resource and Showcase sections of the site.
Ok, so as part of my effort to get things moving again I have at least had the decency to reply to some of the email I have been receiving and to make some additions to this blog. So here we go;
I have updated the Resource and Showcase pages for Brian Robert’s Imara as he has sent several new photographs showing the progress of his Imara build. Brian had to do some testing and so included the pictures below of his Imara’s first trip on the water and I must say that she is looking impressive. I cannot wait to see her when completed.
Note the smoke unit in action. For more information on this unit see the links on the Resources section of this site.
I also received some emails from Mark Dixon. He has just finished an Imara named Ishbel. I am hoping that he may send some photographs for us all to enjoy.
And finally, my friend Chain has picked up his digital quill again. So if anyone wishes to see how a career working in the world of I.T. can destroy a persons soul, then please surf on over to Chains-Log.
Well, while I have been adjusting to my return to work (and Jury service would you believe) I realised that I have been letting this blog and my Imara slip behind and for this I truly apologise. This is something that I will hopefully be able to rectify, as I am disappointed with my progress. I have also finally caught up with my emails and must heap praise upon Brian Roberts Imara build.
Brian has been steaming ahead (putting me to complete and utter shame) and I am just so impressed with the attention to detail and skill that he is obviously putting into his model. See the pictures below to see the quality of his work. All of Brian’s photos are available for download in the Resources section of the site.
Some small updates to the site. Added some pictures by Brian Roberts of his Imara build to the “Showcase” and “Resources” area tabs.
Hi, it’s a whole new year! So lets go mad and risk upgrading to the latest version of wordpress. As you can see it has all gone well and I would recommend that any of you who are using an older version to upgrade now. The options and interface are so much better in V2.7 and it will make the administration of a blog so easy.
A very merry Christmas to you all 
Ok, so as you can see (if you are still bothering to view this blog) I have not been doing as much as I should. This is mainly due to the fact that my illness is now fixed and that I must get out and exercise more. Also with Christmas and New Year looming I am not going to get much done until they are over. The main drain on my time however is that I have returned to work. But those are just excuses, I am really going to push over the next few months and try to balance my time spent at work, my model making (and other hobbies such as Photography) with my family life.
