    I somehow missed the start of this log Bob, so am just catching up. Looks like you’ve made excellent progress so far. Model building is a series of challenges and problem solving, and I think this is what makes it so enjoyable - actually working out solutions and implementing them. You’ve done a fine job of solving the problems you’ve encountered to date, so have confidence in your abilities as a modeller. I look forward to following along the rest of this build.

    Congratulations on completion of your capstan build Eric - you’ve done a great job on it, with your own unique take on the project too.

    An elegant solution to a tricky part of the build Eric.

    Glad to hear of the fix for your eyes Mark.

    ….and I thought I was joking…….🥴 So we now have a game of “where’s Wally?”…. I’m afraid my eyes aren’t good enough to find it - I’ll need a hint.

    Outstanding Glen - well done! Can’t help but notice the absence of the penguin though….😉🤣

    Very cool Bug!

    Well done on the “big push” Glen. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly with the mast raising.🤞

    Keith - told ya! 🤣

    Now you’ve done it! You just know that Glen is gonna do something with that don’t you?

    Sorry to hear that Mark. Hope you are able to resolve the vision issues soon. We’ll wait patiently for you in the meantime.

    Another interesting little project Tom. I’m pulling up a chair in the front row for this one.

    Glad to see you back at this lovely build Bob. Funny, it was only yesterday that I stopped by to see if you'd made any progress - seems that mental telepathy does work after all. 😊

    Donington 93, Sorry to hear of your woes with Model Expo customer service. Sadly, this seems to be a common experience. I have sent you a Private Message with the company owner’s direct email address (we don’t post email addresses in the public domain here). It was only when I made direct contact with him that I received any real assistance, and even then it took a second email to him to bring his parts department into line with his promise. He does stand by his promise - he is let down by some very poor attitudes in the parts department, along with what appears to be a lack of appropriate supervision there. I hope you resolve your issue soon.

    Watched the video today Kurt - well done on an excellent presentation. Thank you.

    Dave, Looking good - nice "cheat"! Before you go too much further, you should be aware that an error has been discovered in Toni's drawings (see Cathead's log for details). Toni is presently revising the drawings.

    You are spelling his name incorrectly. Here is a link to a post he made just last Sunday, advising of an update to his online shop. I suggest you PM him with any specific questions about spare parts you are after. He is very good to deal with and will go out of his way to help.

    This is a fun little project Dave. You’re off to a good start.

    Not sure where you’ve been looking, but I just checked his website and they are still there: https://www.shipworkshop.com/product-page/sm4-series-serving-machines-wrapping-machines

    Are the tools in fixed positions? If so, you could use some PVC pipe to set up a manifold with dedicated lines to each tool and one plug in point for the vac. You would probably want to incorporate some blast gates so that only the tool in use is getting the suction.

    I’m guessing the driveway shots! I must try that photography trick one day - it’s really cool.
  23. gjdale
    Eric, Glad to hear you’re feeling better. I think your proposed solution might cause you problems with fitting the grating/hatch coaming. Is the capstan step actually glued to the deck beams yet? If not, I would suggest remaking the capstan step. A small setback for now, but you will be glad later on. As my wife often reminds me - the model is a long time finished…….

    Yes Glen, soon…..maybe another week or so while I finish up some other non-modelling projects.
