-Dallen reacted to RGL in IJN Yamato by RGL - FINISHED - Tamiya - 1/350 - PLASTIC
That was always my thinking Robin, this kit is a big elephant to eat and has been done all over the Internet so there is a lot of other build logs.
Research and photos of the original have a LOT of experts commenting on this and that and some forums are quite robust in their arguments. I'm open to suggestions as I like to do things with a fair bit of detail, so if anyone finds photos please place them on my log, I mean it.

This will be amazing!

The new tool V the old tool and the comparative size for the Dreadnought.

OK, I'll make a start on my next build log.
The 1/350 Tamiya (new tool) Yamato with Pontos upgrade set and numerous other bits and pieces.
Those of you that have watched some of my other builds have obviously figured out I like the aftermarket stuff.
That being said the kit is enormous, compared to my last build.
I also got a cheap old took kit off ebay for painting practice when I get around to buying an airbrush.

-Dallen reacted to 6ohiocav in Burton Pendants Guidance Please
Hey there Mark,
Your inquiry was very timely for me. I just assembled the Burton Pendants required on the Niagara last evening and posted photos on my log. There are an odd number of shroud lines on the Niagara. The plans call for the forward shroud line to be lashed with a Burton Pendant, it being the first line to be placed over the mast head. I served the entire shroud and with a whipping, created a simple thimble.
Not sure if this is the correct method, but it is what is called for in my less than clear plans.
Hope this helps.

OK J,
Here are two of my models, US Navy 40 Ft 1900 Standard 40ft Steam Cutter and a US Navy Standard 26 ft Motor Whaleboat. Both models are scratch built to 1:32 scale. The figures are purchased 54mm military figures that I painted.

-Dallen reacted to Chuck in Carving tools, books and carving woods discussion
These two pieces were done with just #11 blades. No finish applied on the top one yet. They are about 1/4" wide and just a few inches long.....only 1/32" thick. I think a large chisel would obliterate them.

For those who have interest, there is a free book in PDF form written by a retired fighter jet pilot about Netsuke, which is miniature carving fairly close to our scales. Click on the link below:

As I start the assembly process of my Triton Cross Section, I have become the preverbal sponge and am absorbing every detail of your build. I pay special attention to your remarks in using TurboCAD as I too want to hone my skills in this area. I applaud your decision to continue your build even in the face of your so called blunders. The learning process is greatly enhanced through trial and error. It takes a true craftsman to take a mistake and make it whole. Good luck and God speed.

I think you made the best argument for the thickness sander by stating "I have the tablesaw, disc sander, and ropewalk, and are extremely happy with them."

Chad, I think reposting your build log would be a great idea. What a terrific model!

-Dallen reacted to ChadB in Triton Cross Section by ChadB (Chach_86) - FINISHED
Back before the "Great Crash" of MSW I had built the Triton cross section. I had a pretty robust build log to go along with it where I detailed just about every little step of my build. As it turns out, a friend of mine had actually saved about 95% of it and it has been sitting on my hard drive for quite some time. I haven't been on here much at all the last couple years but I saw my wood list made it's way on here and has hopefully helped a few people. It got me thinking that I would be good to get the build log out there to help others, also. I am going to try to start parsing it out in posts over time starting from the beginning going step by step, but I also have no problem giving out the .xps file to anyone currently building who doesn't want to wait (just be warned it is 180 pages long and includes a lot of fluff you would have to wade through!).

-Dallen got a reaction from mtaylor in Mini Mill recommendations
The most important thing is to do your homework. First of all make a rational decision as to how you want to use the mill. I say "want" because once you have one, you will expand your uses to things that you can't imagine yet. The worst thing that you can do is buy a machine today and wish you had something else tomorrow. All the brands listed so far will work for you, so it is a matter of what you want to spend. Mills generally don't work out of the crate. Tooling and accessories will run at least the cost of the machine and likely quite a bit more as you learn and do more projects. For example a 4in rotary table will easily match and exceed the cost of the mill. Personally I went with Little Machine Shop. The initial purchase was reasonable and they carry parts and accessories for anything you purchase there. I too am new to this group, but did a tremendous amount of research prior to purchases. Hope this helps some.
