  1. If you want to build models in the one-line mode, use СA, but only it is correct, according to recommendations. I constructed already some models with application of СA and is very happy with this glue.
  2. Wefalck, It is a hammer of my colleague geologist, he likes to use it, but with age expeditions decreased and the hammer slightly rusted
  3. Hi, Sjors! Ask more questions, much better everything with started specifying and planning, than then to puzzle how to correct. I too was in such situations when already there was late something to correct . The Greek philosopher Socrates spoke "Isn't shame something not to know. It is a shame not to want to study" and it is the good principle to which I always follow, and not only in construction of models .
  4. The author of the message to which I referred above, writes, nuts are well painted by a spirit pigment (see the small painted part of a nut on the last photo).
  5. I remembered where I already saw these nuts http://forum.modelsworld.ru/topic166start165.html where about them wrote that it is interesting alternative of an ivory, it is very good for a small carving.
  6. Hello, Sjors! I apologize for a little overdue answer, there were urgent affairs. Both in any matter, and in shipbuilding, there are fundamental basic principles and rules. That I wrote about the correct arrangement of shroud plate and shroud just belongs to such rules. These rules for the sailing ships (regardless of the name - Le Mirage or Fantom or somehow differently ) are described in many books about construction of the ships and models. How to arrive in such cases - to follow the established rules or to repeat errors of drawings from kits (and these mistakes, as it is known to all modellers, there is a lot of - producers of kits try to do models simpler and in bigger quantity) is a natural right and a choice the modeller, here to him nobody can specify. If you like to build Le Mirage according to drawings of a kit - it is your choice and your solution which nobody proposes you to change.
  7. It, of course, badly, but on the other hand it forces to think and look for the solution of problems and riddles of kits. And it promotes professional development of modellers . Paradox !
  8. Hi, Randy! I too long looked for the solution of this riddle, and then made stupidly according to the drawing. The bottom ring is used for anchor deduction.
  9. The correct and provident approach, is better to try effect of glue on trial samples and not to risk to spoil such beautiful finished product!
  10. Each of these tools is good for a certain work. The choice depends on that specifically you are going to do by this tool.
  11. It can be told about any experimenter: if experiment turned out, a genius and if isn't present....
  12. Whose is model and why you decided, what shroud plate on this model are established correctly?
  13. It means that shroud plate have to be shroud continuation, and at you go under different corners to shroud.
  14. What to you prevents to truncate these parts and to establish them correctly? Or, for example, a few to displace shroud plate and shroud.
  15. For local schooners and other small vessels it is very difficult to find drawings of details, I well understood it recently when was engaged in search of drawings for Baltic ketch.
  16. Hi, Sjors! Shroud plate are established incorrectly. They have to be shroud continuation, and at you go under different corners to shroud.
