So what did you end up ordering Ben? As I recall you had a bonus cheque to spend (with the Admiral's blessing). -
More nice "set up" Rusty. By the time you get to actually start this project, you'll be so well "set up", that the build will seem to take no time at all!

The first set was good Dan; the replacements are excellent! Well done.
-
No worries Tex! just glad to be here and offer some help or advice when I can.
-
Been here since page 1 Tex, but thanks anyway!
-
Micklen, Nice progress, but I wonder if you could post larger images? I know you've had some problems posting pics earlier, but you should be able to post pics at least 800x600.

Tex, First up, I'd recommend sticking to PVA glue (sorry about the pun!) for your wood models and only use CA when you really, really have to. As for clamps, JP has already given some good advice. You can also use "mapping" pins (the type with a small shoulder on them). You can also buy things called " planking clamps". These are sold on line by Modellers Shipyard (Australian company), and I think Model Expo might carry some too. If you want to see these in action, have a look through Danny Vadas's Vulture build log. Of course, you can make your own variety of clamps - again, Danny's log is an excellent resource to see some of these. Hope this helps.

Looking forward to seeing the new work as well as the rest of the re-post Ed, and of course, Vol 2 is on my "must have" list!!!

Thanks for dropping by Gary and for your kind comments. Re the Hammock netting, I just used what I could get my hands on (after a lot of experimenting). In the end I just went with what "looked" right - I've no idea how accurate it is scale-wise.

Hi Doris, I somehow missed your return. I am a huge fan of your beautiful work. The standard of your sculpted figures and decorations is simply amazing. Thanks for sharing your work with the rest of us.- 883 replies

Very nice build Joachim. Love the extra detail you've applied.
-
Nice to your log back - I remember it well from pre-crash MSW! I'll enjoy following this one through now.
-
Nicely done David. Neat solution.
-
Very nice Robbyn!
-
Hi Chris, I somehow missed your first post and only noticed your build log today. I'm delighted to see you've made a start and I'll look forward to following along as well. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions.

Nice start Micklen, Think I'll pull up a seat in the front row and watch this one through. A Riverboat is on my "one-day" list. This looks to be a nice kit.
-
Thanks for dropping by Sherry, and for the good wishes.
-
Just found your log Timmo. What an excellent job you're doing here. I love what you've done with the painted panels - looks superb. I'll follow along for the rest of the ride now.

You guys crack me up! Just for the record: I love malt (candy) on ice-cream! I love single malt scotch whiskey! I also indulge in Maple syrup on ice-cream! I even have our "local" version - Golden Syrup - on ice-cream! Now lets put all that together, and we'll have the worlds yummiest (and most alcoholic) ice-cream. . Maybe Sjors could put his clown suit on and hand them around!

Painting White Metal
gjdale replied to Micklen32's topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
JPett, I didn't ask the question, but I'd have to say that's the best advice/description I've read on painting yet. Painting is one of my (many) weak areas. Thanks for posting such a great piece. -
Thanks Keith - the Admiral keeps a pretty close eye on what chemicals are getting mixed here. Despite my desire to imbibe, I will actually stay off it until all meds are finished.
-
Beautifully done Mark. I love the cleanness and precision of your work.
-
Ah, so that's what they're supposed to look like! Very nicely done Augie. I hope to be at the same stage very soon - I've painted my yards, just waiting to attach the fittings now. I think I'll follow suit using wire for the stirrups. Do you have any close-ups of how you did these?
