If there is no experience with machines and their adjustments, it is better not to buy the machine which was in use.

One more photo Arthur: deck of Pride of Baltimora II.

Hi, Spiff! Color of a planking of the hull turned out good, but covering levels too short

Hi Garward,

 

The grid is created by carving the acetaat, painted black and wiped off the black paint so it remains in the carves only. Take a look on the first page of my built log, there are some pictures how it is created for the doors of the machine room. Using mm paper to keep the carves in line. Now using a cotton swab instead of a brush which works more cleaner.

 

Best regards,

John

Thanks, John, I understood, it is good idea.

Photo of my colleague Arthur from Montreal (it too builds models of the sailing ships) : the plugs on the brig deck Niagara.

Many thanks, Randy! It is pleasant to me that my work is pleasant to you.

Hi, Sjors, unfortunately, not all tools which are necessary to us for certain works, it is possible to buy. I have a PROXXON tool, but all the same something should be produced with own hand.

That sounds like business Garward …..

 

I've send you an invitation on Skype…...

 

It also is business. Firms suggest us to buy those goods in which they trade, and we choose. Thanks for invitation on Skype, I answered.

Hello, Geoff, good work with masts!   

Hello, Sakcha! The nice model turned out, I congratulate!

Hi, Jared, I congratulate on model end!

Hi, Erik, the good hull turns out!

boy......talk about fast service!  I just ordered these.......

Hi,Popeye the sailor, of what wood they are made?

Thanks Sjors, I knew something was wrong, but could not find out what. . .

 

In the meantime have fitted the windows and door to the curved walls of the state-room. There are neither window nor door frames which I donot like. So used mahogany 0.6 mm to create a kind of frame.

 

Regards,

John

Hi, John, beautiful windows turned out. Of what you did grids on windows?

Known wise expression says: it is necessary to hurry slowly (that is before to make something, it is necessary to think well)   .

In new home

Hi, Kevin, In the new house the model looks very harmoniously!

Hi, Geoff ! The excellent photos showing that is visible on a surface of a deck flooring in installation sites of nails  !

Thank you all guys!

 

I found a store close at my home who have all those stuff from Proxxon.

So I bring them a visit to see what they have and what I can use.

I'll take my drawings with me so they can see what I'm doing and what I need.

I'll keep you posted on this.

 

Hi, Sjors, You will show them drawings of that you do, and they will suggest you to buy only that they have

Bamboo treenails, Montanes model

http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/82-montanes-by-garward-occre/

For treenails imitation I use bamboo or birch toothpicks. Openings for nails of 0,5 mm in the deck were drilled by means of the conductor from a brass plate.
