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.

Welcome! We look forward to seeing it!

Sharing the files for discussion is fine. The question becomes a bit trickier should it ever seem that you are actually distributing the files -- that would bring up the question of whether your work is sufficiently derivative to not be considered a copyright violation (a determination that ultimately can only be decided by a court). One way to avoid that might be to make the files read-only.

Artesania Latina 1/50 Jolie Brise cutter kit
ccoyle replied to Mike Esposito's topic in Wood ship model kits
Only AL can answer that question. But, good news -- there are plenty of other cutter-type kits available out there. Keep looking until you find an in-stock example that grabs your interest. -
I don't treenail, either, at the scales I work in. It's not because I don't like the look, which is fine when people do a good job of it. It's just that real-life treenailing is very subtle in appearance, and at scale viewing distances treenails are pretty much invisible. It's the same reason I don't do any sewing on my sails -- scale needlework is impossible to do.

Nice! Congratulations!

I took care of it. I'll send the bill. 😉

Welcome aboard!

The publishing company I work for has been incorporating an uncomfortable level of technology for some of us reluctant, old school paper-and-ink guys, but ya can't halt the march of progress. Good luck with the new platform!

We have had dogs for years (I'm allergic to cats). We raised nine guide dog puppies. Most of our own have been mixed breeds of one sort or another, but our Old Man at the moment is a 15-year-old Cavalier. He is very dominant (I call him the 'anti-Cavalier') and is not completely thrilled about the new addition 😅. Our youngest daughter has a super-sweet-tempered Cavalier as well.

Okay, Keith, you get a bonus photo for that comment. 😉
-
Few of us ever do! Your work looks perfectly acceptable from here.

Update: All modeling work at Casa de Coyle has temporarily been grounded, as we have new addition to the family. Keeva is a ten-week-old Cavapoo, and despite her innocuous look in this photo, she is much like any other puppy at this 'terrible twos' stage -- she needs lots of training and socializing. It will be quite awhile before she can be crated long enough to get some modeling time in, and longer before she will be trusted enough to have free rein in the house. So, for now, models are in a wait-and-see holding pattern. Cheers!

The original is in no way a 'novel' -- it is a well documented historical treatise. It doesn't sound like you have read it, in which case your comments seem unduly harsh.
