  1. These Vickers (and derivative) models were in service in many different countries with many variations and modifications.
  2. Tie the sails to the yards, attempt 3.. I didn't like attempt 2. So did everything again for the 3rd and "last" time. Different rope and fewer attachments to the yard. Main and fore sail 2 times round yard as the rest 1 time. The result is a simplified version of the example in the Mary Rose book. working method : Knot on the sail Rope around the yard Knot on the yard (I worked with a series of 5) CA gel ont the (yard) knot. And the rope ends are held down cut off Result, By pushing the rope ends down until the CA gel has cured, hang these neatly towards the deck Some work in progress pictures All ready Thanks for folowing,comments and likes.
  3. So it is true that people who are retired have little free time for themselves 😉 Very nice work on the model and the warehouse.
  4. At home 🙂 Info found in "German railroad guns" (squadron/signal NO.15) The base color would be Reichsbahn Grey. But is this much different from the panzer grey? Dont now.
  5. I think I have some info about painting I'll look for it this evening. I'm at work now ☹️
  6. Great work. Welcome to MSW
  7. Welcome to MSW. Groeten uit oost Vlaanderen
  8. Welcome to MSW
  9. 5mm on this scale is wide. But there are no strict rules For deck planking in this era.
  10. What is "too big" What are the dimensions of the planks?
  11. Nice start. Are there something such as filler blocks on the bow? This will make planking here easier.
  12. Bogie time 😉 I have to make 40 of them 😱 The wheel press tool Dry test fit on the orignal resin model The 4 weasels with the extra float tanks will have side skirts. The running gear will therefore be little visible later on. So I do these 4 first to practice. 1 side done (will probably need some extra details) A cannon, almost finished Thanks for following
  13. This drawing comes from this book When it came out this must have been a fantastic book. I have this book too. But with the current information available, this book is no longer recommended ( in my opinion) Cannons on the main deck are possible. But only light calibers on this relatively small ship
  14. 5 years ago I also had so many questions. In the first post you will find an index to the various building steps Enjoy reading 😉
  15. Good to see that everything turned out alright Glued plastic pieces in the freezer to loosen the parts again. I'll keep this in mind for future emergencies ...😉
  16. Thanks for the nice comment. No no, no SotS for me. I find it a very interesting book. And mister McKay has thought and studied about this ship very thoroughly. Maybe in a few years one of these two will be the next project.
