  1. HI Mike Another problem overcome, well done. I am currently building a Ship-ways model Philadelphia. So far everything has been most impressive; design, instructions, a very well thought out model. I have noticed though, that some of the larger pieces of thin wood do bare an uncanny resemblance to the type of wood you are having so much trouble with (deck). However it does look a fine model. Anyway I have learnt something from your trials and tribulations, so thanks for posting. Regards Red
  2. Hi Mike, There are plenty of experts on the site who will be able to advise you better, but If faced with this sort of situation, I would have tried some sanding sealer on a piece of scrap to see if that would help. I think the trick is to keep it flat with weights. Looks like have recovered from your difficulties very well. Once painted none of this should show. Good luck Regards Red
  3. Hi Aydingocer,Going on vacation just as your coming to the best bit! I will get withdrawal symptoms! Have a good vacation Regards Red
  4. My experience mirrored 'barkingmads' response exactly, as does his comments. Thank you to both Jim/Donna for a great product. As soon as the £ climbs back to where it should be and the UK government have stopped trying to pay off the national debt with trade from the USA, I will be going back for Jim's sander. Kind Regards Red (Also North Yorkshire)
  5. Nice work Bob. How clever to complete the bottom of the hull in Holly, sets the rest off beautifully. Regards Red
  6. Hi Bob, Thanks for the heads-up on Crown Timberyard, I will be visiting their web-sight shortly. The boat looks wonderful Regards Red
  7. Hi Bob, Beautiful work, gives me something to aspire to. I love that Holly, I will have to order some from the USA. Regards Red
  8. Love the subject. Will make a nice change from all the rigging etc. Best of luck. Kind Regards Red
  9. Hi Mike, I am sure whatever way you build Chaperon it will be a great model. Its frightening how much knowledge and skill there is in this community, that's why we keep coming back. Looking forward to your next post. Regards Red
  10. Hi Mike, I have been waiting for someone to build this model. Looks a really interesting kit. I will follow with real interest. Good luck. Regards Red
  11. Hi Bob, Had an option, buy a camera or a Jim Byrnes saw. No contest, the saw won hands down, even though postage and tax doubled the price. The saw will increase in value, cameras are obsolete after a couple of months. Looking forward to your next post Regards Red (Yorkshire UK)
  12. Loving the build Bob. I am building Granado as well and am following closely. Wish I could pick up Holly and boxwood for my ship but it appears unavailable in UK Regards Red
  13. Hi Mobbsie Beautiful build. I concur with Grant, the use of different woods really makes a difference. Kind Regards Red
  14. Hi Kevin, Thank you for your kind offer. I am a slow builder, currently preparing the frames. When I come unstuck I will contact you. Kind Regards Red
  15. Hi Kevin, As I am new to ship modelling and am building the 'Granado' I found your videos incredibly useful. Thank you very much. Regards Red
