Carmen 1850 by Skully - FINISHED
bruce d replied to Skully's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1801 - 1850
Hello Skully, that is a nice looking model, I like how you have created textures with the wood. Well done 👍 -
Hello Lolol, and welcome to MSW. That is a beautiful piece of history, I wonder if there is a story behind it? May I suggest you post in the new members section and introduce yourself? It is here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/3-new-member-introductions/ Regards, Bruce

which table saw to get??
bruce d replied to kronvold's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Absolutely. I used a couple of slitting saws with a home-made spacer to fit the spindle. -

Search 'Byrnes' on this site and you will find a lot of hits and an overwhelming mass of positive feedback. I used to have a Proxxon FET, now I have a Byrnes. The Byrnes is the best saw for modelmaking in the world. However, I have to say that the FET is a good saw and was more than adequate for every job I threw at it. Also, it has a tilting blade feature. If you are able to get a Byrnes saw and want the best, go for it. The FET is cheaper and a lot of very good models have been made using it. I may get another FET one day if the price is right just to get the tilting blade feature. You can PM Jim Byrnes from this forum. His username will come up in some of the hits when you search 'Byrnes'. I am sure some of the more experienced members will add their endorsement of the Byrnes, but the FET should not be ignored. Hope this helps, Bruce -
Is there an advantage to using the wax? I have used it in the past for furniture but never considered it for modelmaking. My impression, based on the product I used, is that it would be tricky to control for the tiny cavities and seams associated with planking. If there is a practical reason for using the wax instead of glue/dust mixture, I would be interested. It could give quite a few colour possibilities.

Hello Pascual and a warm welcome from the UK. -
Welcome to MSW Reynard 👍

Hello Pitr, welcome to MSW. That is a very good looking model, I hope we get to see the build process and your modifications. Regards, Bruce

OK, I see what you mean. I don't have any specific answers concerning those but all exposed parts must have had some protective paint. Since the intel report I read had no more detail I think you can't go wrong with a light grey. If there is another source of colour information, I would be happy to hear about it. Hope this helps, Bruce
-
Can you post a picture of the area you are asking about? I believe everything visible from the outside was painted for protection.

Not War and Peace? Either way, I am sure it will be a classic. 👍

Johann, the model is fantastic but I have to say the rigging is almost unbelievable. You are the master of rigging realism.

Ron, welcome to MSW. That is a great subject and it looks like you are doing a great job. I will be watching. BTW, no source to quote now because I read it a loooong time ago, but for WW1 era German boats I understand the pressure hull structure was a lighter colour than the external paint: not white, but light enough that the intelligence report made the distinction. It was a report written immediately post-war on the surrendered boats so I cannot say whether that was also the practice for early boats like U-9 which were painted a lighter colour anyway. Wish I had a copy, but that is what it said. Regards, Bruce

It's worth it though, isn't it? It certainly looks good.
