  8. Welkom to MSW
  9. Hello, The "radio car" is now ready for painting. The "AA car almost. Time to build the AA unit (Looks easy) This should be the base plate on the floor in the car... The base plate dry fitted in the car. These kits keep surprising me 🙈🙊 First do some research about this The base plate may not have been mounted directly to the floor. Or the plate is too big in diameter. Thanks for comments, following and likes
  10. Unfortunately, these are necessary in a mold (a little bit smaller would have been more handy ) progress : Seats The hood Adjusted a bit with plastic strip and tissue paper (the tissue is glued with CA) The radio and battery could also use some extra's Thanks for following
  11. Hello, With the main mast top ready and a smaller fore mast top under construction, it is time to think about the main and fore topmasts. In many drawings the top mast and flagpole are in one piece. A simplification of the 16th century painters or was this reality. (In one piece : about 15 Seperately : 1 ) Masts in this period could not be dismantled. The different parts of the mast were firmly attached to each other How? not a clue yet ... Mast tops Making top masts on my home-made lathe. To my surprise it worked out quite well. Determine the length The masts in the Aeropiccola drawings are quite correct in length. The length of my top masts are long enough to use both methods. Top mast flagpole separately or in one piece ( not yet decided what methode). To be continued, thanks for following.
  12. Hello, and
  13. Interesting pdf about the 16yh century (and free to download) https://www.academia.edu/20120786/The_Arming_of_Late_16th_century_Merchantmen_A_Masters_Thesis_from_the_Maritime_Archaeology_Programme_University_of_Southern_Denmark
  14. Explained very well. And in line with what I have already read on this topic. In the 16th century the so-called bow and stern chasers (usually heavy cannons) were very important in attack and defense. Boarding was the primary method of capturing an enemy ship in the 16th century
  15. Great work and very clean planking.
  16. Indeed these kits have virtually no pins or tabs to attach the parts to each other. Ideal for those who like a challenge and have some free time. A problem for those without experience and who are in a hurry. Putty may be needed some times, but I use it as little as possible. Seams and "bubbles" are sanded. Now mounting the mudguards (fenders) The suspension Cleaning the gearbox and gear lever (oops) Plan b. There will be a home build gear lever Drilled a hole in each gearbox. current status A search 👀 for extras in one of the parts boxes (These were once filled with cookies 😋) Thanks for following.
