maltbyguy got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in Brig Badger by maltbyguy - FINISHED - Caldercraft - 1/64
ITS FINISHED
sorry I haven't been posting I bet you all thought another half built model gathering dust
I much prefer to build rather than photograph
Hope you like any comments good or bad would be great

Hi sorry I haven't posted for a while but as I have said before I am a model builder not a photographer !
I have been finishing the deck fittings and the rigging
The deck houses were built up as per the plan re enforcing the corners with some scrap I never like to see bare plywood so I cut off the overhang and made a frame from some walnut from the scrap box. the doors were made up and painted and dummy hinges fitted
not really much rigging to do so a couple of pictures cover most things
The anchors were missing so they will have to wait until I can find some of the right size
next project ????

maltbyguy got a reaction from mtaylor in Gluing Techniques and Associated Information
For 2nd planking I am trying iron on glue sheets used in the veneer industry
It seems quick and clean
How long it will last I dont know
I used iron on veneer for my last model and it is still ok after 2 years

Hi all sorry I haven't posted for a while but things have been a bit busy at work and with family and as I have said before I tend to be a bit of a lurker often on the site but not very often posting . I guess we are all our own worst critics but I never feel that my work stands up to criticism compared to the excellent work shown on the site.
But here goes with a few pictures of my work so far

maltbyguy got a reaction from Canute in UK Supplies of good blocks and rigging line
Hi just a thought about ordering blocks from non EU countries you will have to also pay VAT and import costs much to my cost !
Syren ship models blocks are well worth the extra expense maybe some enterprising chap could buy them in bulk from Chuck (if he can supply bulk orders) and sell them in the UK ?
maybe it would make them a bit more affordable

you can fit the blade at any length
I use standard scalpel blades from Swan Morton I find them to me reasonably priced and very sharp

Hi all
I have just received a new knife handle and am so impressed with it that I thought you would like to know about it
it is by Veritas they class it as a carving knife but I find that it is useful as my general knife handle for most operations
It will take most blades x acto or scalpel blades . Because it has an oval handle it will not roll off the bench which is a good safety feature . It is not cheap but I feel that it is worth the money
