Check with Model Expo. They are the current manufacturers of the Midwest line.

That's a treat to see the real thing in person! P.S. When copying and pasting text, look for the 'paste as plain text' option -- that eliminates the tan shading.- 8 replies

First suggestion: Make the title of your post something other than "oops" -- you'll be far more likely to get an answer to your question. I fixed this one for you -- no charge! 😉

You should be able to scratch-build the missing hatch elements out of sheet styrene without too much difficulty. The winch might be a little more difficult. 😬

Hi, gang! I just happened to be looking at the tags attached in a build log here. The log features a Model Shipways kit, and as you probably know, there are hundreds of Model Shipways kits featured in build logs at MSW. But . . . This particular log featured a tag that said Model Shipway, not Model Shipways. See the difference? The correct spelling is Shipways (plural). You might think that this doesn't make much of a difference, but it does. A tag search only turns up hits that exactly match the spelling in the tag that is clicked. If a curious member clicked on the "Model Shipway" tag today, the search would yield only seven results. On the other hand, clicking a "Model Shipways" tag yields 716 results -- over one hundred times as many! So please, when you add a tag, make sure it is spelled correctly. I fix the misspelled ones when I find them, but I don't always find them! Cheers!

JSC, Schreiber-Bogen, and HMV are the publishers that come immediately to my mind when thinking of ocean liner kits.

Excellent. I have marked this as 'sold', even though your kits weren't, you know, sold sold. 😉

I'm a big fan of MK's planking philosophy. Spiling is wonderful for those who enjoy it, but I'm not one of those people, so I appreciate pre-spiled planking.

Good evening from New Jersey USA!

They're not hard to find if you Google "Russian brig Mercury." Her captain's actions lend credence to the adage about fortune favoring the bold. -

Welcome! Mercury is a great kit, if not often the subject of build logs. -
Looking for Aeropiccola Serapis instructions
ccoyle replied to pinel's topic in Wood ship model kits
Given the age of that kit and its Italian origins, I doubt that it came with very extensive instructions. -
Hi, Grant. I checked your photo bin. There's 13 images in there with unique file names and 13 in the post, so it looks like nothing is technically amiss.

It's only been a month -- you're gonna have to stay away for much, much longer if you want to join the ranks of the truly great procrastinators in our hobby! 😉

Niagara by Alex-Ks1 - 1:7 Scale
ccoyle replied to Alex-Ks1's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1801 - 1850
Just add updates as replies. -
I took the liberty of changing your build log title to Pegasus based on the assumption that you will build this Swan-class vessel as the subject depicted by the kit -- unless, of course, you plan to actually build the model as Swan, in which case you will need to make some cosmetic changes. Let me know if I need to fix anything!

Not sure what the issue could have been, but I have moved it for you. Good luck on your project! -
I believe you have succeeded! Thanks for sharing this great resource with our community!

Hi, Rick! Yep, that's me, and we have a few other dual members as well. We're doing what we can to make card models respectable around here!

MSW follows the copyright/fair use laws of the United States. Fair use allows short snippets of copyrighted works to be used for discussion or critique; a rule-of-thumb (not a legal standard) is about 5% of a work. The exact percentage allowable is made on a case-by-case basis only when an infringement is challenged in court. Most excerpts posted at MSW fall well within the amount allowable under fair use. Works whose copyright has expired and which are now considered to be in the public domain carry no such restrictions. In the US, copyright protections are automatic for the life of the author plus 70 years.
