  1. Wayne, your age or what type of model or time era doesn't matter. Anything related to ships or boats are welcome. So from Pacific NorthWest I say
  2. Again I could be wrong, but looking at the "distance" to the other ships in the foreground she must be a huge one.
  3. I wonder about that "picture"/painting..... it looks altered to me, the rendering doesn't match the overall picture. I might be wrong.
  4. In 1741, Tyger measured 130 feet long and weighed 704 tons. It carried six 6-pounders on the quarter deck, twenty-two 9-pounders on the upper deck, and twenty-two 18-pounders on the gun deck. Source: Rediscovering HMS Tyger (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)
  5. Dave, I am using a unit which can be found craft stores. This one will do the poly/cotton combination and create a nice cut, but also to be used as a thread sealer.
  6. Laser cut cushions? Well, that is new..... not even the extreme modern yachts has that....😁 Chuck, that looks amazing!
  7. Jonathan, I have using Vallejo paint for almost 15 years. I am very pleased with their paint both regular but specially AV (for airbrushing) And they do have two different gloss black, if you use a black primer the glossy with really come out. Best is to apply a surface preparation before applying primer. Has buscado gloss black - Acrylicos Vallejo. Go to Vallejos' website for more information. And I wish you the best with your painting.
  8. Chris, Your 3d printed small boats look awesome, what software did you use? I also like the Gunboat Adder, I hope you didn't upload the plans without altercations because these would otherwise be easy to use from a Chinese perspective.
  9. Wyapa, just an hour and a half drive south along I-5 corridor there another Washingtonian Welcoming you to MSW. Start simple, if you look at BlueJacket Inc's website you will find some solid hull kits to work with. That way you can only have to shape the hull and get going with details. Many kits involve planking a skeleton frame. Some have issues with that some don't. Start small and finish what you started before settling on another kit.
  10. A friend of mine built this model long time ago, (back in the 70's) and he was young. This model was way above his skill level. This is looking good.
  11. I read in the Swedish news that "Stockholmare" are leaving the area due to increased cost of living. Wish I still had the apartment in Stockholm.
  12. Välkommen till ModelShipWorld We're getting more and more Swedes in this forum. And I like your 1:700 scale models. Here is a link for you. 1/700 Ship Models (hobbylinc.com)
  13. Cheating not so much, as those of us working with such softwares and printing, we know it takes time and rework before it is a good part to be printed. And even after printing, we catch errors.
  14. Marek, don't you ever sleep?☺️ The model of yours is coming together very nicely.
  15. Fascinating and interesting video looks like she is showing her keel.
  16. Marek, very lovely build and fast as well. I have the same model, which I inherited. Just the hull has been assembled.
  17. Mark, a warm Wow, going 1:400 scale to 1:200 scale is a huge step. Will it be a Trumpeter kit? Cheers
