  1. did you order the eyelets from cmb? keep up the great work it's very very nice. mort
  2. looks nice really nice. it's a delicate process but it's fine. i painted the preventer stays with elmers school glue - diluted white glue - and used a hair drier to accelerate the drying in order to make sure they stayed straight. keep up the great work. mort
  3. looking through the beakhead bulkhead door, one is transported back to the day....... great shot, great modeling. mort
  4. great job. if i didn't know, i would never know. keep up the great work. mort
  5. hi mark, i used adhesive cooper tape my mamoli connie which i completed about 10 years ago and it worked out fine. i first coated a portion of hull with contact cement and after a few minutes applied the tape - which i cut into individual plates before hand - and all was well. hope this helps, mort
  6. hi robert, a few years ago, another caldercraft victory builder - i don't remember who - on this forum in his build log posted that he with the aid of a computer program - sorry,i don't remember which one - reduced the ensign to the size where they would fit on the buckets. he then printed them on decal paper and was able to apply them to the buckets. hope this helps. please keep up the great work. mort
  7. hi michael, question. so i take it you did indeed trim parts #373 in order to get them flush with part# 270. thanks, mort
  8. it is a beautiful build. well worth all the time and effort. enjoy yourself. mort
  9. great job. a quick thought. why not cut away part of quarter deck and fore castle? don't plank them entirely, partially. it's a pity to cover/hide such nice work. you can even go as far as not mounting any boats mid ship. build them and mount them on the display base along side or being towed astern. any way keep up the great work. mort
  10. thank you for your kind words. so far i am very happy with the kit. she's big. very big. she's going to go in my son's office as the admiral is still very upset over the size of the diana. the lower gun port pattern and 8 planks are attached and i am hoping to have a fellow club member help me post pictures. mort
