  1. Base plate finished. All wooden parts ready Name painted Wood collored and all parts assembled.
  2. I have the same problem. You have no idea what all I've put away too safe, and find no more. Ver nice work, now (and 50 years ago) 👍
  3. The first time I see a ship like this. very special
  4. This is a small tank The "tail" at the back makes the tank longer. This should make it easier for to drive over trenches.
  5. Thanks. Indeed, the front bougies are wrong . Very well seen, a stupid mistake of me
  6. A first impression I France WW1 western front (Le Tigre : the tiger) II France WW1 western front III France WW1 western front IV Spain post WW1 in Spanish Morocco V France WW2 (1940) (Le champagne) in French Morocco VI France WW2 (1940) home land If you build the WW2 MG version, this should have a more modern MG
  7. The smaller ones fit in a smaller "handle". (see arrow) Other than that they do the same thing (for me) Ps There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers 😉
  8. The base plate ( with the name of ship) Tis plate is made of oak. Leftovers of course (what else 😉) The bottom is made from 3 planks glued together. With plastic 4 supports at the bottom. Determining the shape of the 2 support plates was some fitting and measuring. The support plates are ready and attached. The nameplate : Pelican or Golden Hind? Because the figure head has already been chosen, It will be the Pelican. As she hopefully looked when she sailed out in 1577. The text is first printed in Word (Old English) And glued on plastic sheet. Drilling and cutting Name and year glued on a 2nd plastic sheet Current status Thanks for following, comments and likes
  9. The fore stay of the main topmast. Drilled a hole (0.7mm) in the deck Put a dot of CA gel on an eye bolt and hammered it into the hole. Eye bolt in place. The single block is attached to this eye bolt. I chose a single block and a violin block (same method as the backstays) Rope coils are fitted to all stays. Still not happy with my rope coils. I know how they make. And there are many good examples of making them to be found on this forum. But it doesn't work for me (yet). And the lack of belaying pins doesn't make it easy either.
  10. If you need info about the ft17. Just ask. The ft17 has many possibilities.
  11. In German, but very interesting http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/inhaltsverzeichnis1.htm Link to the ships of the Kriegsmarine http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/inhaltsverzeichnisMarine.htm U 505 (type IXc) and U534 (type IXC40) http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Waffen/Bilderseiten/UBoote/U505.htm http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Waffen/Bilderseiten/UBoote/U534.htm
  12. Nice work Alan. If the sprocket teeth dont fit. I usually cheat 😇 and cut some of them off. Mostly on older models with rubber tracks as on this Airfix Centurion sprockets (link to buildlog in signature)
