  1. I use a mechanical lead holder with 4H lead from my drafting/architecture school days such as this: http://www.utrechtart.com/Kohinoor-Adapto-Lead-Holder-MP38148-i1011444.utrecht http://www.utrechtart.com/Prismacolor-Premier-Turquoise-Mechanical-Pencil-Lead-Refills--2-0-mm--pack-of-12-MP33300-i1010974.utrecht and also a sharpener which gives a nice sharp point, like this: http://www.utrechtart.com/Alvin-Small-Rotary-Lead-Pointer--Sharpener-For-Mechanical-Pencils-MP49597-i1017015.utrecht
  2. No doubt about that Jay. The bow has been the hardest part for me so far.
  3. Thanks for rebuilding the log. I've been wondering how you are doing with your build.
  4. You'll do fine CaptainSteve. Keep in mind that the Conny is only my second build. If i can do it, you can do it.
  5. Good to see you have your build log back up and running. Marc - .035 rivets are the recommended size.
  6. thanks for reposting Rusty. Looking forward to seeing your updates.
  7. Good to see your build log back up. I couldn't help but notice that big blue box the model came in. I guess Model Shipways has switched to some new packing. I bought the Sopwith Camel airplane model kit from them a week ago and it came in the same type of box.
  8. I used copper plates from Caldercraft. I tried using the copper tape but had a difficult time with it and just ended up making a mess.
  9. All of my hand tools have a purpose in life but my tweezers and magnifying headgear are a must have for me.
  10. Well done Jim. Looks like a professional job to me.
  11. Thanks for watching. I'm glad I saved all the pictures which is not something I normally do. There will be another update in a couple of days. I finished the head rails on the other side, installed the gratings and toilets, and I'm now working on planking above the head rails.
  12. Ed, I just started reading this book yesterday and finished the first two chapters. I will post any comments I have after I finish.
  13. Good news! I'm looking forward to reading it.
  14. I will pick up where my previous build log left off here. Unfortunately, I won't have time to reconstruct my previous posts.
