  1. Hello Kevin, I am waiting with patience your updates on HMS Victory, clean and impeccable build. I have found your Log tardy, decided to follow it but unfortunately you have come to a stop... Speaking of Berlin, I will keep all ropes natural hemp color... I have learned that static ropes have to be dark color, brown or black and active ropes white or cream. But meanwhile I saw in some Corel's finished models showed via internet, all ropes in natural hemp color, that event has pleased and encouraged me to go with the natural hemp color. Black is only in metal work and glasses of the windows...
  2. Hi Brian, thank you for the kind comment and the information... There are many techniques and manners I see at MSW. I became aware of them in course of time. (Many thanks to all...) Soldering is the top solution. If only I can... But I flee from it. If I should have enough information I have not any experience and don't know if I can handle it. Experience is as important as knowledge, I think. But I had a try with the tension, fortunately the glued dead eye with CA has remained very stable...
  3. Thank you Randy, such nourishing words you say!... As I have no knowledge and experience about soldering I have used glue... I had to go on with the kit supply. I can suggest you to make the gap, namely the junction point in the part located under the rope...
  4. WVH is my dream... But I have known the scale as 1:40 for Corel brand. Have they changed the scale? I will follow the project with high pleasure...
  5. Salute Eddie, I like your motto "Be yourself. Everyone else is taken."
  6. Ahoy J.Pett You had written a symphony... The nails are the notes... The strips are the stave... Where is the treble clef? Beakhead?... Crescendo...
  7. Your kindness as always... Thank you Michael. These all parts were supplied by Corel, they aren't scratch unfortunately, if only I can... I have drawn how I had acted...
  8. Thank you Sjors, I didn't use beeswax on the ropes... I think that I can burn the fuzz with snap fire... Bad idea...
  9. Thank you Augie and Matti, Your nice comments are highly appreciated... They sound very good...
  10. Hi hamilton, The progress looks great, being detailed and painted...
  11. Hello Sjors, I had thought that you hadn't missed my post because of the comment above... Wow, you can answer without knowing even the question... You are a wise man... (What I see are the one on the forecastle, the other on the main deck...)
  12. Very fine progression... clean and finical work... I love the colors also... And I would like to learn the meaning of HMB, thanks...
  13. Hi Sjors, The progress looks really good... Are there two capstans?
  14. Thank you Jason for the suggestion... Good idea that I have never heard... That was registered... I can try it but I have starched the ropes already... They shouldn't absorb the Indian ink???
  15. Hi Matti, You had got what you had wanted... Used surface looks natural... Congratulations...
  16. Hi Juergen, You are right and have a very kind manner in your notice... I don't think that the shrouds were white... But I decided to left them as the kit had supplied... I think my decision is wrong but I don't want another effort to buy and replace the ropes, I am an obsessive man and sometimes this temper fatigues me and sometimes to break this temper makes me feel happy... that situation is one of them...
  17. Hello Ian, Metal scratch work!... So detailed and clean!... I take off my hat...
  18. Thank you for the info Jason... I learned a lot of things at MSW but I am still at the beginning, a drop in the ocean...
  19. Hello Robb, It would be very amazing build... The kit looks higher quality... I would like to learn the scale... Thanks...
  20. Great work Jason, harmony in all as usual... May I ask a question? Under the forecastle deck there is the frontmost cannon. But is there enough height for the crew to fire it easily? Proportionally to the height of the forecastle deck on your model, which height has the original ship's? I asked this because I would like to learn the accuracy of the Caldercraft's plans. Thanks...
  21. I ticked the "Like" button but I have to say also that your work is very clean, smooth, harmonic...
