  1. A beautiful neat little piece, very detailed at that scale.
  2. Bill, welcome to MSW. Once you've decided on a model, please consider starting a build log.
  3. Chris, great first day out, I don't think you could have asked for better weather. It's nice to see the perfect finish to someone's hard work. Did your mouth hurt from all the grinning?
  4. Col, welcome to MSW. I do hope you'll start a build log.
  5. Bitao, your work is very much appreciated by the many who have come across your build log and we're honored to have you as part of our MSW family. I thank you for choosing MSW as your home and for sharing your skills and dedication.........Keith
  6. I bought this used display case today. It's lighted with a mirrored back and measures 46 x 26 x 13 inches ID, the Tennessee is 40 x 22 x 12 inches. It's not your traditional model ship display case but for $65.00 I couldn't pass it up. Keith, Pat, and Mark, thank you and thank you to all for stopping by and the likes.
  7. This is a "how to" build log on this very subject. It's an amazing build log.
  8. Birchwood also makes a Plum Brown liquid. I've never used but have wanted to.
  9. Drummer, welcome to MSW.
  10. "That's nothing Keith, look at their coveralls. A little honest dirt never hurt anyone." Gary, that was back in the day of ringer washers. No wife or mother was going to contaminate their washer with that nonsense. The guys probably wore them till battery acid finally did em in. Incredible realism, Gary. I'm so there.
  11. David, great photos. Such a pretty little thing, really an amazing piece of workmanship.
  12. Very realistic sails, starting with post #189, page 7.
  13. Chris, congratulations. Well done, I hope every minute on the water is a tonic for the soul.
  14. David, welcome to MSW. I look forward to seeing your build logs.
  15. Gary and Pat, thank you both for your advise and support as it's sorely needed at this point. Pat, it's just a test piece that I had randomly draped for the photo. Thank you to all for the likes and to all those who've dropped by. In one of the build logs I was going through yesterday, the builder had used the same PE eye pins I used to make the jackstay eyebolts, to make hooks. It's an interesting usage I want to play around with.
  16. "Training Ship Beautiful Journey" ? If that's it, it's a beautiful name and a vessel we should all hope to travel aboard.
  17. Pat, I put a couple of hours of effort into making shackles with no success. I got one that sort of resembled a shackle at 16 inch scale. The ones I tried making at 6 inch scale looked like twisted dead gnats. Pictured is a .153 inch block (18 inch at scale) that I stropped. A natural becket occurs when the wire is formed around the block (opposite the hook end) that I've tied the line to, this maybe as good as it gets? I have thought about putting a simple ring through the becket, I'll make up a test piece and see what that looks like. Roger, thank you for the heads up regarding the NRG shop notes. I need to invest in both volumes. Thank you to all for the comments, likes and stopping by.
  18. CC, welcome to MSW. It would be nice if you started a build log even though you're half way through the build.
  19. Kramer, please attach photographs and not HEIC downloads. Thank you.
