Beautiful work Danny - those wood worms sure are well trained! -
Very sorry to hear that Andy. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
-
Thanks Bill - guess I'd rather live in Wisconsin then
-
Yeah - wot he said!
-
Great work Robbyn. You must be thrilled to have completed her (almost). Congratulations. I'll look forward to following your Syren build - I'm sure you will make a first class job of her too.

More fabulous craftsmanship Toni.
-
And your efforts have paid off in spades Robert - you can be very proud of the results you are achieving. Absolutely top notch.

Hi Bill, I'm just curious about your location. My knowledge of American geography is appalling, so please indulge me. Is Madison where you are the same as Madison County, as in the book title "The Bridges of Madison County?" (Great book, by the way). Cheers, Grant

Great start on the planking Augie. And what a bonus to have Chuck dropping by with such timely and sage advice. This is going to be a real beauty!

Looking good Mick.

Hi Bill, After reading your lovely wife's introduction yesterday, I just had to drop in and say hi to you both on your new build log. Looks like you've got the space sorted. Now all we need is the model kit! I'll look forward to following you on this build. I'll sit down front next to Sjors and make sure he behaves himself. Just make sure you post plenty of pictures to keep Sjors happy!

That looks terrific Rusty. Can you explain a little more about how you achieved the depressions for the mortar bombs please? (You just mentioned that you sanded them in). Cheers,

Pygothian, You can order timber (including Swiss Pear) from Hobbymill in the US (link on the MSW home page). Send an email to Jeff Hayes and he will sort you out - milled to your exact requirements. He provides quality timber, beautifully milled, and at a very reasonable cost. No connection, just one of many very satisfied customers. Now, about those power tools.......... Robert, Sorry to hijack your log. Your gun carriages look superb - well done!

Hi Robbyn, I agree with Jay - give the 5min epoxy a try. I react to CA as well, but I'm okay with the epoxy.

If making lots of blocks is progress, then I guess I've made some progress! I know it's getting repetitive, but you know who will be demanding pictures as usual, so here's today's efforts: 433 x 3mm single blocks and 112 x 3mm double blocks. There's a few you can spot in the photo that won't make the final QC cut, but the reject rate is actually pretty low. One of these days I'll get to start attaching these to the ship!

Thanks Gil, it's great to see you back on the forum again. Looking forward to seeing more progress on your own log shortly.
-
"Beautiful" just doesn't seem to be enough somehow.......
-
Sounds like a great day Mick. I also have the OcCre Stephenson's Rocket tucked away. It's a very nice looking little model - I'm sure you will enjoy it.
-
Welcome home Gil. I hope you had a wonderful trip and I look forward, along with many others, to the resumption of your wonderful build.
-
Happy Birthday Mick!
-
Very nice Danny. Keeping up the highest standards as always I see!
