    maaaslo got a reaction from Canute in Byrnes Thickness Sander   
    Ive done a little calculation. it would cost me roughly 440USD after I paid the import tax. better than directly from Mr Byrnes, roughly 100USD better.
    I will have to pass.
    I spoke to the Admiral, she said NO!!!!
    maybe after I sell the DH40, if still available...
    if for nothing else, we now have a link for a great parcel service (thanks for that Imagna)
    sorry for wasting your time

    Out of curiosity, could you find out how much would be shipping to UK (if willing)? If exact postcode needed its SS11 7JS.
    i want one as the proxxon DH40 just does not work for me (incredible noise)

    Popeye, thanks for the comments and thanks to everyone for the likes.
     
    Its been sometime since my last update. During this period I have been steadily working on the planking as time allows. The following pictures show my progress.
     
    Gradually planking down the stern post.

    I then added the last 2 planks on the stern post

    Then made my way towards the bow. At this point there are two planks left to go to finish this stage. Shown below, though the shorter of the two has been cut to shape it still needs to be cut to the correct length.


    Next it will be the Wales and the other row of thicker planking above them level with the deck. After that the deck and the bulwarks. I think I might have looked at the kit instructions a few months ago, they do not feature heavily in my plans.
     
    Still really enjoying hull planking. The second side defiantly better than the first side. Hopefully when I plank my next model I will retain these skills and continue from where I leave off. The earliest I see that being is late next year.

    Yes, it is called sagging. And sagging can be quite significant

    regarding cutaways:
    Halinski has some pictures from prototype builds on their page. look for T34 and Sherman firefly... detail is unbelievable. I have both at home and sometimes just look through the books, to admire the quality...

    one thing about "working" latches and other parts...
    you are asking for a trouble. although they look impressive to untrained eye, they are more often flimsy and weak. if you soak it in CA glue, might do the trick, but then there is discolouration of paper... 
    BUT, its your model. if you want to paint it pink and draw unicorns on it, who am I to tell you otherwise.
    BTW, very, very good job.
