    Thanks Allen, 16th century channels looks a bit confusing. With or without a strip? There is little correct info. Some pictures from channels without the strip.

    Built the Soleyl Royal from Heller 35 years ago. The plastic masts are still standing. There is a lot of difference in quality of the plastic used. But with Revell, this shouldn't be a problem
  3. Baker
    good idea 👍
  4. Baker
    This model looks like a late 16th century galleon.

    And enjoy the restoration of this model. Maybe you discover a new hobby, building model boats.

    And only belief the photos found in real books (not the digital from the "photoshop era" ) A T34 rearmed with a 88mm Before the photoshop...

    Looks a bit like the "horizontal volute spring suspension" or HVSS (M4 sherman)

    Welcome on the build of an Italian WW2 armoured car. General info ( wikipedia) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoblindo_Fiat-Ansaldo I started this build a while ago. Then I came to the conclusion that according to wikipedia the AB 40 ferroviaria (fv in the future) would not have existed. Only the improved AB41 would have been converted to the fv. Italeri error ?? No, after a lot of searching, the wrong information turned out to be on Wikipedia. So good work from Italeri !! Box, contents and plan Building went without problems. Everything fits perfectly. The horn has been drilled out All this happened a few months ago. Then the build stalled (wikipedia's fault ) Now restarted and the basic color has been applied since today. Current status on the photographic proof that this vehicle actually existed.

    Congrats. Beautiful work 👍

    Thanks for the advice. I think this will be the solution to my problem : There must indeed be grooves in the channels. So that the schrouds cannot move. And. The thin wood strip will be applied temporarily. This way the deeadeyes stay in place during installation This strip will then be removed later when the shrouds are completely ready

    For my Pelican project I have reached the stage where the deadeyes are attached to the channels. My problem is now how to attach these deadeyes to the channels. Judging by various drawings these are not attached at all (see drawing) I think the masts will probably have to be placed first and then the chain, the 2 deadeyes and the schroud. A complicated method. Anyone have any suggestions how I do this best?
  12. Baker
    Michael, Thank you for the suggestion I actually planned to do this. But, this does not seem to have been in use in the 16th century. It is without this detail for the time being. But I can still add this. My biggest problem will be, how to attach the deadeyes to the channels. Judging by various drawings from differend ships these are not attached at all. The masts will probably have to be placed first and then the chain, deadeye and schroud Complicated method ....

    That is what makes this forum so much fun. Imagine : no internet and no MSW Everyone in their own hobby room and no one to gossip with 🤪 boring 😳

    Thank you, thank you, thank you 👍 So no more photos with watermark. I have no idea how to do it without the Samsung logo and otherwise, this build will be a Samsung commercial. And, i upload from the smartphone to the PC using dropbox. For some reason this was no longer possible. After hours of searching, it turned out that dropbox suddenly no longer had access to the photos on the smartphone. Why?? another IT mystery for me. But problem solved. Meanwhile, the deadeyes for the foremast and the mainmast are ready. Made them in batches of 10. I had 6 "splitters" but repared them with CA glue. Collored with thinned Tamiya paint and polished with scotchbrite (48 ready and 2 scrap) Thanks for comments, likes and following

    There should be "U profiles" in your kit. These are the hinges of your rudder Something like this on the picture. example

    What I learned from my first scratch build. With filler blocks between the frames you can sand away many errors. I used fillerblocks and one layer of planks. Sanding filler blocks and sawing planks yourself creates a lot of dust. Saw and sand outside in the garden. And the wife will not complain Hull with sanded fillerblocks Dust in the garden ...😉

    Looks good, but. The first three frames appear to be too narrow in relation to the deck.
  21. Baker
    Welcome back. Good work 👍

    I am in the 2nd row and following. Great start 👍

    Congrats Michael. Another beautiful model ready I invite myself to the SoS challenge
  25. Baker
    Thanks for comments and advice. And the used wood is cherry Something I learned here. Listen to good advice. So first i do a test whether the wood does not split during drilling. First make an aluminum mold. The plates are glued with CA. (1 a hole was drilled incorrectly) The test (careful drilling of course) Hurray, they don't split. I set a watermark on my smartphone photos (Backer2020). Why that thing also put Samsung on it is a mystery to me.
