Roel, congratulations on a very convincing build. Modern ships are not normally my cuppa but I'm stunned by the amount of realistic detail you incorporated into your model. Very well done, sir. -
Don't know if these would work? https://www.shapeways.com/product/GMT3CNTYV/1-350-hms-hood-brass-propellers-x2-port-star?optionId=65511850&li=marketplace https://spruebrothers.com/trp06601-1-350-trumpeter-hms-hood-upgrade-set-trp-kit/

Thank you posting the engine startup video, Eberhard. Large engines are fascinating, building/machining large engines is even more so. Building the lathe pictured would have been a monumental undertaking. I wonder how long it took to chuck that crankshaft?

See Bob's post #181 in his build log.

Are you an NRG Member???

Yes on the mirror for the reasons Eric gave in his post above. IMHO a larger mirror (slightly larger than the width and length of the hull) would look better. Also, get a better quality mirror, one that's not so blurry.

Before you remove them you might try gently rounding the handle edges with the tip of your X-Acto knife which may also remove some of the char. I don't see how you can round the handles once they're removed. As far as removing all the char, the only solution I see is painting them a color that resembles wood. Did you ask Chris?

Johnny, I use CA to glue eyes to the deck. I drill the hole a tad larger than than the eye, place CA gel on the eye shank, place in hole, and then add a tad bit of regular CA around the shank. I've had to remove eyes because of putting them in the wrong place and played billy goat heck getting them out pulling on the eye with pliers. They don't come out willingly.

Frank, I use Minwax satin polyurethane. Using CA I can glue directly to a polyurethane treated surface without issue. Polyurethane is disparaged by the old schoolers but it's got a lot going for it, IMHO. As always, experiment thus making sure it works for YOU.

Tame winter for all of us.

She's a beauty, Glen. For a 'it almost didn't happen' build I for one am certainly glad that it did because it ranks near the top. The lone penguin at that scale is very well done and a nice touch........thank you.

Pretty part of the state but comes with the price of more snow.

Grant, scratch the penguins. APA photo showing billionaire cattle rancher and SIB builder Glen McGuire informing a group of penguins their services would not be required in his latest project, The Jenny. In a local news briefing UPA spokesman Flip Moore decries McGuire's pulling penguins from his latest project saying "It's a hardship, we've got penguins that have traveled halfway around the globe to get here" "Now to be told they are no longer needed. Well, it's a bait and switch scam, plain and simple" "United Penguins of Antarctic members will not tolerate these tactics from Mr McGuire, we don't care how many cattle ranches he owns" Mr Moore wouldn't elaborate on any pending legal action.
