    Hi. From what I have read.. During the second world war the British Navy had to paint ALL brass and shiny objects . This was done to stop reflection and the ship being spotted. All the paintwork was supposed to be non reflective paint... Regards Antony.

    Hi. Use a very sharp knife and cut a small piece at a time or cut close to the base with downward slices. Then use fine sandpaper with downward strokes onto the base only. You can use a file if it's sharp with downward strokes onto the base. LOL reading my own text I like my downward strokes Take your time. Regards Antony.

    Hi. Sharpie.. Never thought of the Stamp maker nice idea. But it's limmated on what you can do. Joe. Yes I do have Solidworks .. It's a very steep learning curve and I struggle with the simplest tasks. And doing something like the door entrances could not be justified in the time spent learning the software. There is software out there that can do what I want... Just keep looking. Regards Antony.

    Hi. Just noticed another kit being released in the UK. http://www.uboat-collection.com/index.html It's from Hatchetpartworks, It's a nice workable scale and it's got a lot of photo etched parts. Might be available in other country's . Regards Antony.

    Hi Spyglass. The supplied software will not do what I want. I need to input a image then add a 45 degree angle to all the lines. Angle should be variable. This is what's wanted. Regards Antony.

    Hi. I have just been given a 3D printer kit. The previous owner got feed up with trying to build it and the soldering was a no no. http://www.velleman.co.uk/contents/en-uk/p576_k8200.html It has No software. He has misplaced it. or it never arrived What I would like to use it for is making small fittings and figures. Can anyone suggest a software package that will do this. To be able to scan a picture and then convert it into a 3D printable file. If its a freeware then even better. One of the first things I would use it for is to make the Victory captains entrance parts( carvings ) Thanks in advance. Antony.

    Hi. Alex is really enjoying this build. Wants to do the next stage as soon as the he completes one. The kit is quite good and the hull is well machined. Some slight adjustments were done to round off the Bow area. Just done a lot this afternoon and he is doing the write up now. Took him 3 and half hours to type his first post. So don't expect a post today Regards Antony.

    Hi Bob. You have made some excellent progress since my last post. As all the others have said everything that I could say. I will just keep browsing you log wondering when if I will ever be able to achieve such perfection and quality. Regards Antony.

    Hi. You could have a look at this very good database on models. http://mswshipkits.ampitcher.com/ Then browse the forum builds on one you like and make your own mind up. Regards Antony.

    Hi. There is a discussion somewhere on MSW. There is no easy answer to your question. BUT my vote goes to Euromodels. Not built a Euromodel kit yet but after reading comments and reading lots of kit builds it seems to me to be the best out there. But ultimately Models that scratch build modellers are the best quality. Regards Antony.

    Hi? My next project will be a English cutter. I will be following this build with interest. As far as putting the deck on upside down ...I think we all have done things similar in our past. Nice fix on the dec. Regards Antony.

    Hi Gregor. I am suffering with the lack of updates on your wonderful build log:) Please revive me and post some more of your cutter. Regards Antony.

    Hi Ollie. Just catching up on your build.. I started reading through last year. Amazing build and with all the improvements you have made makes for a real nice model to display. Lots of attention to details and accuracy in this build .. You should give your self a pat on the back. Regards Antony.
