Or some wisenheimer with a "watch this" move.

Well done, Trond.

Mark, I'm sorry for the setback. I do hope you've managed to contain and fix the problem. Don't know what I could do from here to help but if you can think of something let me know.

Kris, welcome to MSW. A suggestion if I may, read through as many MSW build logs as possible and see how folks go about building their models and solving problems during a build. Note what type of tools they have and use and start collecting the tools you'll need when you start building. You should be able to buy used tools pretty cheaply and then you can upgrade as your experience and interest grow. Wishing you the very best.......Keith

Pretty delicate job with a sword, not something you'd want left to the village goof and have the countryside populated by a bunch of lads with the nickname "Stubby".

What a little beauty.

Absolutely stunning.

Andrew, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

Mike, good to see you and your family settled into your new digs and glad too see the ole girl getting some much needed attention.

The past couple of months seems much longer than a mere two months and have been surreal in so many ways. My sister and I just finished cleaning out my son's effects from a house she owned. Going through his possessions was very physically and mentally demanding. Discovering his "treasures" and uncovering those things we thought he should have found important but didn't was difficult for us both. It's made me feel the need to go through all my things and put my possessions in order pitching the "why am I still hanging on to this" in the bin! The house has sold, that chapter is now closed. On a lighter note and speaking of possessions, the seller of the Madawaska 40 gallon tank tag and I have successfully negotiated a price. It wasn't an arm and leg but I do feel somewhat bruised. But having something to add with the model that was actually onboard the actual ship.......priceless. https://www.ebay.com/itm/275321765340?hash=item401a74bddc&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8MIUG%2Ffuf4OsaVsGCXPdn%2F6JZJG9gFwTVYzLb1yWyYpinbbyp3rwrqrOZm4P6TnmTw0%2B17o4nOx6Gu6iggZodl3Kn1IR9oDxoQwIhM5OeTN937QGQL064%2FzF5jWCbQavEP5F%2FKSoc1Ym0sCNEInqs1CisI6mI8QjoMmvM%2FAtTefk90N4K0GllSeBDMW1gMgizVYTa7h5nHlfu5zZxSgFHNyLS8LOfpy9tc30H5mn%2FEneOtyaH9qExoJ1pj2oXnwQLpvEeN99btqkn2XZk61n5S10tJy80tEGK3bBISdorjGc3DQdt9WZqQlviurOzhzF5g%3D%3D|ampid%3APL_CLK&autorefresh=true&nma=true&si=Krr0OP4qqMAV6BuQ0RN8jE3Zhlk%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Thank you to all for allowing me to share my victories and defeats. God bless each of you.

Parker, welcome to MSW. What a great trash can find. Most collectors would rather purchase an item in "as found" condition so go easy on cleaning till you've had a chance to have the model properly evaluated. Best of luck.

Grant and Glen, you SIB guys do amazing work.

RB, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

Cute little bugger.

Abbot, welcome to MSW. I'm 75 so don't think you're too old to start wooden ship modeling. You can start with an easy dory kit (which are fairly inexpensive) and see if you enjoy making wood model ships but if you prefer plastic, please join in. Glad to have you aboard.

Rob, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

One would swear that the launch doesn't have a bottom, it looks like you're looking right through the launch to Germania's deck. What a neat effect.

Dave, you might consider searching Facebook's Marketplace for display cases. What you find might not be your traditional model ship display case but I guarantee what you find will be cheaper even if building your own traditional case.

Jeff, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

Dave, congratulations on completing your Lady Nelson and a fine ship she turned out to be. There were a few rough patches in the beginning but then what journey doesn't have its moments. I'm proud for you.

Nathan, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

Kortes, beautiful little stove. I always enjoy seeing your work.

Dave, those look pretty good. I've seen worse.........mine. For those who can make rope coils look natural, my hat is off to them.

Beautiful work, Keith.

Ken, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.
