Well that's a bummer about the primer. I think you will have to remove the primer and prime it again with a different product. Unfortunately, I'm not that familiar with primers for plastic so, hopefully, some of the plastic modelers here will offer some advice. I've had paint compatibility problems before where I had to remove the paint and start over. It's a pain but it was necessary. Good luck! Also, just for your information, I clicked on the link for your Anteo Harbor Tug and it takes you to your U-Boat 47 build.

I'm following along too, Chris. I'm fascinated by these card models especially after seeing the astoundingly beautiful card models that Doris has built.

Wonderful work, mate! What book or source are you using for the detailed drawings you have posted? -
That's an impressive looking model, Blunty! She looks great so far. I'm familiar as well with how frustrating the vague AL instructions can be but you seem to be doing just fine regardless.

I'm onboard to watch this build, Yves. This should be a very special model. Good luck!

Hello Mario, have you been able to make any more progress on your boat?
-
Impressive work, Rich!
-
I'm onboard, Mark, and I'm looking forward to watching build this beauty. I'm seriously thinking I may need to get this model when Chris has another batch ready.

You've been asking me about when I was starting my Flirt build. Well, I've been procrastinating because I've been salivating over the Sphinx. We live in a small house and there isn't much room for many large models so I've been thinking that maybe I should try and sell the Flirt and get the Sphinx when Chris has the second batch ready. With models like these that take a lot of time and commitment, I really need to love it and want to build it badly and the Sphinx keeps attracting my attention. The Flirt would be great practice for me before tackling the Sphinx but the Vanguard instructions are so good that I think I could probably do ok building it. It would be my first model with guns and ratlines and lots of square masted rigging but I'm game for it and there are several good build logs already going on the Sphinx which would be very helpful. I'll try and finish my Pen Duick currently and continue to mull over my dilemma: Flrt or Sphinx?

Great planking as usual, Glenn. You've practically got this skill mastered and it will pay dividends for you when you build the Winnie.
-
Great idea. Do you drill the hole just so the pins go in easier? Could you just push the pins into the first planking?

Nice, Mark. I look forward to following your Sphinx build. I really want to build the Sphinx also.

CA works well on small cuts and flappers. I had a small slit on the end of my finger that I kept breaking open and it was staying quite sore. My niece, who is an ER nurse, put some CA on it and, after a week or so, it was healed up. I ask her what happens to the CA and she said that it just gets pushed out as the cut heals. I've used it several times for these little, bothersome cuts and flappers and it does the job.

Stunning model! WOW!! -
Interesting build. I've never seen this model before. I'll be following along since I would like to build an RC model someday and I'm clueless about them. Good luck! Oh, a good IPA always helps me along as well!
-
She's a beauty, Mike. What are the dimensions?
-
i love these small working boats. Good luck on your build!
-
The deck looks wonderful, Rich. Nice workshop too!
-
Moving right along, Mike, and she's looking good!

This technique of using diluted PVA and brushing around joints is new to me. I've never done that before. I've always just carefully applied glue to the the slots in the joints and then wiped off any excess glue that squeezed out if necessary. Is brushing diluted PVA into joints after the parts are fitted together a preferred method? Do you get a better fit for the parts when you don't place glue in the slots? Does the brushing diluted PVA method make as joint just as strong or stronger than putting glue in the slots first?
