  1. Incredible. Great detail. It's like looking at the real thing. And don't mind Sjors. I think he forgot to clean his spectacles this morning...
  2. Nice Andy... If you find some way to attach a hook to one end you can strop blocks as well... As I'm no engineer I have to ask if there is a specific reason why you spaced the crank axle and the tube with the rope with a gear?
  3. When you get that needle threader, stick it to the end of a piece of dowel so you easier can get to those hard to reach places...
  4. Woah Aldo!!! Plunged into the darkside I see. When I grow up I'll maybe join you there... You'll do a fine job I'm sure. Just take time to visit us who is still lingering on the lighter side of life
  5. The worst must be when they refer to Pink Floyd as "him" And when it comes to aluminium and such I usually use one of the Scandinavian languages to avoid those discussions.
  6. LOL, as I'm also an Eric O. So every time I see your log I start wandering if I've been drunk again and started building another ship..... Ads the others have said, she's looking good. I'm down to C and D-sides on my builds...
  7. Nice job with the cleaning up Sjors! Your workshop is something to dream about when I sit at my kitchen table waving off cats and kids... But you should quit smoking...
  8. I have the Android-app. As I'm a noob at tying knots it's really handy to always have this source..
  9. Hello ihlan, I stumbled across your log this morning and have spent 2 hours now going through it. This is great stuff! I am so impressed. And the way you use the photos to show how you do it is fantastic. You are a master! Eric
  10. Cristiano, that would be great! I've been thinking of doing a scratchbuild so the Pinco would be perfect. Eric
  11. Jeez, must have been there dozen of times and thought that the "Pinco" was the only one without translation! Now, when I went there the first one I saw was the "Pinco"!!! Go figure. Bummer! (Eric)
  12. Thanks Brian. On the Pinco it seems as there is ONLY Italian instructions. But with the help of Mastini's book and a little Google etc I think that could be fixed. Or maybe I'll take evening classes in Italian! Let's see if I can dig up the money for the kit this fall. Bummer! (Eric)
  13. Going back to the wooldings. Caldercraft uses a technique in their manual that has you drilling a small hole 2 mm deep in the mast, securing the end of the thread there and finishing the same way. Works very well. Bummer! (Eric)
  14. I found this italian ship the other day: I fell in love with the strange ways they built the fore and mizzen mast. Then I found the kit maker here: http://www.euromodel-ship.com/eng/ and wonder if anyone here have had a go at building their kits? If so, any thought on material etc??? Bummer! (Eric)
  15. She's looking great Sjors. You can call me whatever you like. Just not honey... Bummer! Eric
  16. Hope you don't mind me copying some of your stuff when I do the masts etc. Started to mount the deadeyes and having a hard time getting them inside the chainplates without disfiguring the chainplates totally. Do you have any tips on them? Bummer!
  17. Cause loosing all the stuff from the forum was a Bummer!!! Bummer!
  18. Hi Andy, I found out about a week ago that there where no 0.5 mm black thread supplied with my kit. No wonder I had a hard time labeling the different thicknesses(is that a word?) Amati sent me 2 spools right away so now all the other spools makes much more sense. Bummer!
  19. Yes, I'm the one who sent you all the pictures last year. Then my username was SeaSick. Bummer!
  20. Hi Aldo. Beautiful work on the Bitts there my friend. You may not have as much time with your build as you'd wish but you do wonders with those few moments you have. I was on my way to send a e-mail to Amati demanding the new bitts! Happy Easter even though it's almost over. Eric Bummer!
