  1. Looks good, Mark. The cloth weave looks like a used clothes dryer sheet. I knew you'd do it! :)
  2. Maybe back in Elizabethan times the barrels were out on deck. Later on the gunner loaded cartridges, usually cloth, with powder, way down in the powder magazines. They worked in cloth slippers, no shoes with metal on them.
  3. Dave, I've read in some journals that the powder barrels were stored on their sides. I suppose they used gravity to interlock the barrels. And the barrels were bound with copper bands; no sparks in magazines.
  4. Thanks, Steve. The pipettes I've used in the past weren't working so well. I'll give these a shot.
  5. Nicely done, Frank. And a nice catch on that wood bar to keep the frames in line.
  6. Gerhard, this is a ship and era I am deeply interested in. I'll follow along, too. Best of luck in this endeavor.
  7. Hornet, what size needles on those syringes?
  8. WOW, Jack, cutting it close on your deck. Overall, it looks good. Bury, cover, hide - we all make little oopsies, so we have to obscure them. Can't have them sticking out like a sore thumb, eh Jack? Or we'd be forever remodeling them.
  9. Jesse, you should do a CSS Albemarle or Neuse. There seems to be a dearth of Southern vessels. Need a blockade runner, maybe.
  10. Frank, that is an excellent frame construction tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
  11. Water slide decals work best when applied to glossy, sealed surfaces. I suppose you could cut them out and glue the paper sides together, without wetting the decals. But you won't be happy, over time. The paper will absorb moisture out of the air and the decals will fall apart. Best to do as Les (bluenose2) suggests and replace them with the cloth ones.
  12. Max, take care of yourself. I enjoy your songs picks and look forward to seeing your new picks. Your description of this kit sounds interesting. I await some pictures.
