  1. Fantastic start on a new kit, POF from a master builder. I would like to put my name on the list for one when you start production! I promise not to tell my wife until it's on my bench. hehe....
  2. Fantastic build, you are a real professional model builder, only what most of us dream about being able to produce. Thank you for putting your build log on MSW.
  3. Great build log, just read your NRJ article happy that everything was posted here on your build log as pictures here are much easier to look at details here than in the Journal! Beautiful build Regards The Learner
  4. Great start, love the small boat build method can't wait to see its progress. PS love the work shop!! Sweet
  5. Looking Great! and thanks for the tip using square wire for the chain plate links and the link for the supplier.
  6. Just a note, most home printers can print up even the larger sheets as they would be on multiple sheets that you can tape together. Not ideal, but workable!
  7. A RESTART! very good now I can watch from the beginning, Yahoo! Did you have the plans printed up at kinks or did you do at home? I think several copies of pages 3 & 4 would also be a good idea.
  8. Bruce D Back home but still hopping around on one leg. Stump is completely healed waiting for prosthesis fitting and getting back to normal. On another note I have downloaded the mediator plans and look foward to following the rest of your build. Guy
  9. It's a champfering tool and it's still sold on ebay
  10. Interesting tutorial! Which reminds me that when in USN i was assigned Tug Boat duty. The boat captain for the boat I was on did not like tire fenders with rope knotted on and draping down so he had us making road fenders in a similar manner as the bell rope with out the taper and fancy knots. Thank you for this post, old memories abound!
  11. Back home from the hospital 🏥 but will take me awhile before I get back out in garage to work on models but it's one of my top priorities along with other chores that I left hanging before they removed my lower left leg 🦵 cheers to everyone
  12. Thanks mayor, thanks for the encouragement and I know exactly which model I will tackle first. The one at the very right for which you can see the stern and the sail barley a gunboats with a peryauger (sp) bow spirit pointing upwardly.
  13. Bruce D this was some of the builds I was working on before life got in the way. I truly hope that I can get back to them soon The learner
  14. Bruce, thank you for sending me the link to your log! Nicely done, first wood scratch build? I don't believe it. You are doing a remarkable job, good research in the beginning of the build. I will be definitely be following to completion. The learner.
  15. I think masters doing card models are exquisite and well done. Question is will card models hold up to the elements that wood provides?
  16. Bruce, thanks for the encouragement, I am trying hard, doing all the required Pt exercises and then some. I don't have to stand to build, just have access. Yes I would love to follow along with your Mediator. Can you send me the link? I am using my phone to access the site! It will be awhile before I get to my computers. Regards, Guy The Learner
  17. Well life sure gets in the way! I definitely got side tracked for quite sometime and now find myself recuperating from lower left leg amputation, it like it will be a long time before I ever get back to the triton build. Sorry guys, perhaps I can change my name from the learner to "peg leg" Regards. The learner
  18. Yes Greg the tops definitely look better this way and I cannot wait until you apply David's carvings. When you say Chuck did the tops for you are they cut in one piece or many pieces to be built up? like his blocks etc??
