  1. My method for threading line through holes in deadeyes and blocks is to put some CA glue on the end of the line, maybe about 1/4" worth. Then wipe it off of the line. Once the CA is dry, take a hobby knife and cut the CA soaked end on an angle. This hardened end is then threaded through the deadeye or block. Works every time for me.
  2. Thanks Mary for translating these posts. Members, please remember that Model Ship World is an English language forum. Please use a translator if you write your post in a language other than English. Thank you.
  3. Congratulations Ben on finishing your Winchelsea. It is a beautiful model and a work of art. I have enjoyed following your build log.
  4. Hi middlyjohn and welcome to Model Ship World. Sounds like you are off to a good start in building wooden ship models. There are three ship modeling clubs in the Chicago area. Two meet using Zoom, with one also having in person meetings. The other club meets in person only as the Club's meeting venue does not support Zoom.
  5. Hi Dale and welcome to Model Ship World.
  6. Hi Dale and welcome to Model Ship World.
  7. Welcome to Model Ship World. There is a wealth of maritime history around the Chesapeake Bay. For us ship modelers, there are several ship model clubs and maritime museums close to the Bay.
  8. Since the model will be painted, I would glue the piece back on that broke off or glue a piece of scrap wood on the edge. Once the glue is thoroughly dry, you can carefully sand it to match the unbroken side. This is what I like about working with wood.
  9. Welcome to Model Ship World Andrew. You are making a good start in this hobby.
  10. Hi Bob and welcome to Model Ship World. If you get a chance, please post some pictures of you Phantom and your in progress AVS. Here is a list of all of the build logs tagged "Armed Virginia Sloop". https://modelshipworld.com/tags/armed virginia sloop/
  11. Welcome to Model Ship World Swimmer. I saw the pictures of your Mikasa in your build log and you have really done a good job in building this model.
  12. Welcome to Model Ship World Philippe. Congratulations on your retirement.
  13. Congratulations Francois on finishing your Granado. Your build turned out great and will be a nice model to display.
  14. Good job on the first four frames, but frame 5 looks to be off. It could be the photography, but if not, you should debond the joints and reglue them. You could soak the joints with 91% isopropyl alcohol.
