  1. Lovely looking model. I really liked your method for making the rails.
  2. The mortar installation looks wonderful Pawel. Have you stained the well they sit in?
  3. Looks interesting Jon. I'm always terrified of starting anything new until I have finished the previous project. You are obviously better at multi tasking.
  4. This should be interesting Mark. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Good luck and stay sane.
  5. Hello Richard. We all started somewhere and skill comes with practice. Good luck with your first model.
  6. A jig for drilling the prop shaft hole is a good idea. The attached is a more complex jig than you need but gives an idea of what to do. Basically it is 2 pieces of MDF drilled with holes to align the drill for the prop shaft tube. Nice little model by the way.
  7. My brother n law came to stay with his superior camera equipment - so lots of photos which blow up quite well for anyone looking for imperfections. I need sort out a finished model post so I may use some of these. Meanwhile my better half seems to have perked up a little and I may bet back to the workshop soon.
  8. Rok Have you tried this email address? Jim Byrnes <jdm@cfl.rr.com> Keith
  9. Nice work Nils. The crewman on the left seems to be a little confused. Maybe scratching his head will help.
  10. Good to see you back Jon. I look forward to more updates.
  11. Thank you John / Richard and for your good wishes to my wife. Bedford - she says it is nice to be appreciated by someone. (She must be feeling better as her voice contained a degree of sarchasm). The schooner in the pictures is Germania Nova.
  12. John, frames looking nice and clean. Hope the hospital visit goes well.
  13. Hakan - no but you are quite close. Elena was on the list but I couldn't find the hull lines anywhere.
  14. Hakan Thank you for your comments. As to the next build I'm not sure yet but I like schooners and I do quite like this:- At 200ft long she would make a substantial model at 1:36 and I don't want to go smaller as I can manage the detail at this scale. Mark / Bedford - thanks for visiting and your contribution to the off set prop debate. For now model making is off the agenda as my wife has broken her arm to get out of domestic duties. Cooking and washing major in the plan for the next 6 weeks.
  15. Lovely job Mark. Re the plaster - did you hit your thumb with the hammer?
  16. The fore deck is now looking really nice Pawel, lovely modelling. She was a very strongly built vessel want she.
  17. Lovely detail Pawel. She gets better with every visit.
