I hope there's a solution forthcomming from the software folks, James. I'm seeing comments about photos not uploading in the build logs also.

Thanks. I thought I was just stupid until I read of others having the same problem

Just a little update.
From very early 2022, KRICK will be my Vanguard Models German distributor. I am putting their first order together now. They already have copies of all master files for the plans and instructions, so they can produce their own German language versions.
I have known Krick for 25 years, and am very happy for them to be my distributer for Germany. Over the past year, I have had many emails from people in Germany, asking if I had a distributor for their country, and now I have.
Cheers,
Chris

Hello all, as you may guess from my user name I'm from Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Always had a strong interest in boats and ships, coming from a fishing family (went myself for a while too) and started my interest by building Airfix kits etc when I was at school.
I progressed to wooden models via the Mary Ann from Billings as at that time there were many of that type of vessel operating here in my home town.
From there I went to La Toullonaise from Billings, that whetted my appetite for sailing models and then onto the Bounty from Billings and then the Halifax.
Sadly I then stopped for many years due to time constraints and a growing family but now I am finally getting more time back with retirement not a far away prospect, I am wanting to resume.
I have browsed many of the build projects and am seriously impressed at the skills shown by the members which has only served to make me more determined to get back into the swing.
I love the look of the Victory models and I think that may be my entry back into modelling, the detail on the ships and the rigging looks fantastic, no sails to hide all that work.
Hope to contribute more once I am up and running but for now will content myself with watching and questions.

Welcome to MSW, Dirkske. Feel free to start a build log when you're ready to begin. They're the best way to get help and also meet others.

Hi all,
My name is Dirk and recently joined the MSW forum.
I have always loved the looks of the old wooden sailing ships. Be it fishing boats, yachts, first rates or anything in between. They all have their own type of appleal.
I'm quite sure I 'inherited' the modelling bug through my late dad. Although so far I never started a wooden boat kit.
My dad did several times though (although both of us mostly in RC planes). His latest he never got to finish (BB Regina). I'd love to complete it, as the end result, and process, would truely provide a threasured memory. Sadly, I have zero experience, thus need need to climb the learning curve.
I purchased a couple of kits to practice on, prior to completing dad's partial build. Being 2 BB Marie Jeanne kits and 2 additional BB Regina's.
So, looking forward to the interaction with you all.
Sincerely
Dirk (Belgium)

Ryland Craze reacted to king derelict in Rolls-Royce 1920 Pattern Armoured Car by king derelict - FINISHED - Roden - 1/72 - PLASTIC
A tiny update. I am making the flimsies for the car. I took a length of 1/8 square styrene rod and rounded the edges slightly to make the individual cans more apparent. I cut four 5 mm pieces and glued them together. I created the appearance of the lids by pressing the tip of a hypodermic needle into teh tops. Its a little out of scale but it was the smallest size I have and its not in quite the right place but any closer to teh edge and it distorts the plastic. I think it will look okay under some dust. A plain top just leaves it as a box
After priming with black primer I painted the strip with metal paint and gave it a black wash to delineate the individual cans better
Next I will add some dust but first I had a diorama to finish - not a desert one this time
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year

Ch. 7 Seat, Pt. II
The frame upon which the seat hangs first had to have some interior bits removed. To strengthen what was left, I wicked thin CA into the cut edges before edge coloring them. The head armor was then added. Next, the seat frame was constructed from styrene rod -- not the hardest piece I have ever built, thanks to all of the parts being thankfully straight. Finally, the back armor and seat were added, bringing the total number of parts in this sub-assembly to eighteen.
A really, really nice little detail is that, where required, the printed parts in this sub-assembly have tick marks to indicate both where other parts attach and at what angle they should be attached.
P.S. I also just now noticed that I glued the head armor on upside down. Fortunately, the mistake is merely annoying, not structurally significant.
