I just happened to stumble across your build log for the Lady Smith. Great job! She's a beautiful and unusual model.

Are you making a build log, Paul?

Very nicely done, BE, and a good explanation of your process.

Stunningly beautiful work, Grant!!

I've heard that Model Expo is really good at quickly replacing defective parts etc. I think they would probably be glad to send you some longer pieces of thread if emailed them and explained the problem. I wouldn't think that it would take too long for a simple letter with the thread inside to reach Australia. It not like it's a package which takes a long time...just a thought...

Nothing that a bit of filler and a good sanding won't fix, Mark. She's coming along nicely!

Hello Grant, I still haven't made it back into the shipyard yet. I keep getting sidetracked by other things: a week in San Francisco to celebrate my 75th birthday, out of town guests, lots of time watching our beloved San Francisco Giants who are now in the championship playoffs, many hours getting my winter, container garden planted (about 30 containers), and having a hard time pulling myself away from my guitars. I have also been spending way to much time reading lots of great build logs and admiring work like you are doing on your Steam Pumper. I haven't started another build but the Vanguard Flirt has made it off the shelf and onto my modeling table. I will be building it alongside the Pen Duick and will be starting soon...slowly...but surely. My shipyard has been shuttered for far too long... Thanks for stopping by and giving me a little nudge!

Greeetings from Italy, Sardinia Island
BobG replied to Ugo Crisponi's topic in New member Introductions
Welcome to MSW, Ugo. Your miniatures and the naval guns are fantastic! -
Fantastic planking, Derek. I get it about painting the hull but, geez, it is so beautiful just as it is...

The model by Jan Zwart is amazing!! I've never seen anything like that. It must have taken a very long time to build it. It's a masterpiece!

Rotary tool recommendations, preferences
BobG replied to Steve116's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
No need to apologize for anything, Roger. I didn't think your post was critical at all. I was just suggesting that a flex shaft attachment can be added to a Dremel or a Proxxon rotary tool which then gives you a very slim tool to use. -

BobG replied to Steve116's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Dremel and Porxxon both make flex shaft attachments which essentially solves the problem of working with "a heavy, fat" rotary tool though. -
Photographing your models
BobG replied to Patrick Matthews's topic in Photographing your work. How to do this.
Well that certainly puts my iPhone to shame! Very interesting though. Thanks for posting these pro techniques. -
Very nice work on the rigging, Paul. The rigging really brings the model to life.
-
It's the fine details that really make a model special, Chris. These will be great additions to these kits!
-
I swear, Grant, Model Shipways should contract with you to make an instruction manual for this model like JamesH does for Vanguard. Your work and the log are that good!
-
Beautifully done, Glenn, and thanks for the painting tips! That boxwood is gorgeous. I'll be starting mine soon. I'm currently busy getting my winter, container garden in.

Beautiful steam launch, gogiantsks! I would love to build one one of these. It so happens that my wife and I will be in San Francisco on October 24th. Our son lives in Noe Valley and we're going to the Eagles concert at the Chase Center that evening. I think we'll plan to go over to Spreckels Lake and to see the Annual Steam up. That would be fun. We're huge Giants fans as well. We were at two games last week and we lost them both...bummer! As long as we win the division and send the Dodgers to the Wild Card Game, we'll be happy. Go Giants!!

Looks great, Eric! You'd never know it had been flooded.

Stunning work, Grant! Museum quality!
-
Nice work, Mark. I always get anxious when it comes to fairing the hull. Even though I check with a batten as I go along, I never feel certain that I've really got it right...not enough or too much...
