Sjors, I asked about the glue as you seemed to be having trouble getting it to adhere. I was going to suggest using a two-part epoxy for these metal parts, but from the sound of it you figured that out already. I'll leave you to go back to playing with your balls now. -
Great work David, looking very sharp!
-
Thanks for sharing those photos of your holiday Joachim. Looks like you had a great time and the kids seem to be enjoying themselves too!
-
Congratulations Antony. Prepare to be delighted! You will be singing the praises of this machine long after you have forgotten the price. And of course, you'll be going back for more Jim Byrnes machines. His disc sander is also a joy to use. One thing that really struck me the first time I switched one of these machines on is just how quiet they are. May I be the first to wish you Happy Tool Day for when the saw arrives!

Who's a lucky boy then? I'm sure you'll enjoy this build, and there's plenty of Caldercraft build logs here for reference and guidance. I look forward to seeing your build log started.

Sjors, What sort of glue are you using for the metal parts?

Your rigging is looking just superb Augie. That word "majestic" really does seem to sit well here.

Fabulous Danny, though I would have expected a man of your skills to make some working hinges!
-
Great work Rusty. Really like the "painting with wood" concept.
-
ZyXuz, Definitely rig the futtock stave first. That will certainly help keep the shroud spacing at the top.
-
Thanks for the link Ed
-
Ed, Can you post the details please, of the silver solder paste you mentioned in the last post - the one that will blacken with LoS? Thanks,
-
Hi Sherry, Yep, I agree with the others - cut the gunports now. That's the approach I took with my Vic hull (on the 2nd go - long story there). I also made a small sizing jig to help ensure they were all the right size. Looking great so far, by the way.
-
Ed, you continue to bring joy to my day every time I read one of your updates. It truly is an uplifting experience.
-
Mark, I'm sure your planking will be fine, if the rest of the build is anything to by. And if its not, just think of all the extra clamps you'll be able to make!
-
Only one gazillion? I thought it would be at least eleventy gazillion!
-
Great work Paul - always enjoy reading your updates to see the next clever approach to capturing detail. Super stuff!
-
Happy Birthday Clare! I hope it brings you much ship modelling happiness.

Ronald, You may get more answers if you post your question in a general discussion area rather than in someone's build log. I would suggest posting it here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/forum/18-modeling-tools-and-workshop-equipment/ You are likely to get a wide range of answers though, as what you are asking is a bit like asking "how long is a piece of string?" The answers could range from, you don't actually need any power tools at all, to as many as your budget will allow. Some folks do some marvellous work with almost exclusively hand tools, except for maybe a Dremel type drill. Others, like me, are power tool junkies - I've never met a power tool I didn't like! If you dig around a bit in the link above, you may find some more answers to your question. You might also want to have a look through some of the scratch build logs to see what tools these modellers are using. Have a look at Victory by EdT; Naiad by EdT; Vulture by Dan Vad, Kingfisher by Remco, and Atlanta by tlevine, to name just a few exceptional scratch builds. There are many, many more. I hope this helps.

Nice addition Timmo and very well executed.

I don't have a copy of the cartoon, but you Farside aficionados will no doubt remember my all time favourite: the "Midvale School for the Gifted".

Congratulations Janet, you will love these machines - they are a joy to use. They are expensive here in Australia too, but worth every cent/penny in my opinion. Take some time to "play" with them as you get to know them.

Hi Gaetan, I've just caught up with your re-posted log. I had been following this wonderful build on MSW 1, and am so glad you re-posted so many of your pictures. Your work is absolutely first class and an inspiration and example to us all.

Good decision to scratch a new transom Sjors. You've made a good start and I'm sure you'll be very happy with the end result.
