  1. Charming photo! And the model, of course. Interesting subject and your level of details that goes into it 😊
  2. Amazing workshop, writing down a lot of ideas Love your dust collection system! Do you have some central vaccuum that all hoses connect to, or are you using something portable? For example that hose next to the Dremel drill press seems to be connected to nowhere..
  3. Thank you for sharing it with that level of details! Just curious - what kind of larger cutters do you find useful at this scale? Any tips and experience to share? That mill has a pretty limited capacity.. 😊
  4. If in doubt - a set of Proxxon mills that are included with their MF70 mill is a great start. No problems in any kind of wood, very clean cut, can do plunge cuts as well. No burning, charring, they cut like butter. Do not use them in your rotary tool freehand though, as they would dig into the wood and jump away from you. Part number NO27116 https://proxxon-us-shop.com/products/milling-cutters
  5. Välkommen! Very refreshing genre and looking forward to following your build log!
  6. There is a topic very close by where this is discussed: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/31657-seawatch-books-is-open/ A bit worried about Mike, no email updates since November (except a few sales) and last login to MSW in December last year. Hope it he is ok and just hiding under a lower deck until the Volume 3 is finally available Let's keep in mind that it is a small niche business that is mostly driven by enthusiasm, let's be gentle and cooperative with people who provide that invaluable service to the modelling community
  7. Incredible build, how did I miss it before? As usual - appreciate showing the build methods rather than the end result of each stage, learned a few tricks. Very neat scuppers, so hard to make these tiny metal bits match the surface of the hull, but you did it nicely!
  8. Very interesting wiring! Have you considered stripping the insulation and using a bare wire, since you can ensure that it would never contact another wire?
  9. Its not just every part that is a reference of precision and accuracy, but also a superb photo setup!
  10. Very beautiful build! Picking up some ideas from you, appreciate the "in progress" photos!
  11. Great move for international readers, where shipping + custom fees double the cost of a book! Just one things to consider (not a critique, but a food for thought). What happens with the purchase when Kotobee goes bankrupt and closes the library? That is a common problem with various connected devices and online resources, in 10 years a big share of them are just gone together with all your content. It's fine for a book that is being read once, might be a bummer if you use it for a reference or just enjoy building up a collection. Fully understand that there is no good solution here, anything downloadable will end up on torrents the day after...
  12. What a fine piece of machinery! I especially like the exposed corner of the disk, allowing to shape the inside curves without a spindle sander. Had to make a cutoff in my proxxon for it. What about the dust collection, is there a way to hook up the vacuum?
  13. Aawww! How does it look when LED strips are on? Never tried lighting from that angle, can you show a few photos?
