donrobinson got a reaction from Elijah in US Brig Niagara by mikiek - FINISHED - Model Shipways - Scale 1:64 - First wooden ship build July 10, 2017

Good idea using styrene , I have never used it yet will have to give it a go. What kind of lathe do you have, and why do you not know how to use it?
donrobinson got a reaction from Elijah in Trabakul by donrobinson - FINISHED - MarisStella - 1:32 scale August 8, 2017

Thanks to all for stopping in, for your comments and for all the likes. Got a little more done in the last two days mainly the ship's stove is now installed complete with a stockpile of firewood and an axe. The pump was also made and installed, this is a little kit included with the package, I think it looks pretty good. It came with 3 mm copper strapping for the bands, however, I replaced that with some card stock

Hope you enjoy, have a good evening

Frank: Thanks so much for stopping in, really good to hear from you again. How is the Red Dragon coming along?

Zoran: Hello, Thanks for the compliment, much appreciated

Doug: Thanks, it was a hot day here yesterday. In the pictures clouds had just started rolling in and a short time later we had a pretty good rain storm. The rain was much needed as the mosquitoes were starting to suffer

Mike: Hey, how are things with you? Thanks for dropping in

Thanks EJ, coming up is the ship's boat that I have put off way too long now and I am running out of things to do so I'll have to bite the bullet and start on it.

Great progress EJ, I'll see you over on La Couronne. I'm hoping that when these two are done you will build something that is easier to spell

Hi John, you must have slipped in when I was typing. Thanks for coming by. They really are good kits and at this scale it is fun to add and change a few things. The boxes are not the normal flashy and colourful, but when you open the box and see the contents you soon forget about the box lid. Another good thing about the MarisStella colour scheme is that carrying one of these boxes into the house will not catch the Admiral's eye near as much!!
