I've said before that the Kraken was my favorite till you built the Lost Jenny but now I think I'll be changing my favorite yet again. That's some great stuff right there, Glen.- 235 replies

I don't wanna see funnel smoke that badly, Glen. May I suggest Raid as a SIB friendly alternative?

Welcome, glad to have you aboard.

Not much carrying capacity in the ship's boats, Glen. You might, might be able to crowd three wee black ants aboard if they all hold their breath. They look sharp.

Looks fishy to me.

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

Yes, congratulations on completing a difficult build, Chris.

Amazing that you were able to paint in that much detail at that scale, Eberhard. I was spending three plus hours per figure trying to paint in detail and in the end I was very displeased with my efforts. My hat is off to you for succeeding.

https://www.shapeways.com/product/KVS8JDNSF/six-1-32-scale-vickers-machine-guns?optionId=301091122&li=marketplace https://www.shapeways.com/product/A94KRLFCL/two-1-30-vickers-machine-guns?optionId=299287528&li=marketplace https://www.shapeways.com/marketplace?type=product&q=1%3A33+vickers+gun I searched Shapeways for Vickers sight and they have one that about the size of the model so I came up dry on the sight but they do have vickers guns. Chris, I don't know if any of the above will work for you? Being 3D resin they're probably more robust than paper and adding a sight might be easier on one of them because they are 3D resin?

Roel, your detail work is just incredible. Each update leaves me shaking my head in admiration.

Gnomer isn't as dumb as he looks. For those that enjoy making ship's boats, God bless you. I'm with Bob, a hard pass thank you very much. 3D resin ship's boats sounds lovely. Bob, the King is looking really good!

Well, duh. I didn't post the link, sorry.

Simon, I dare say it was the length of the steam box that controlled plank length more so than tree height. I think 24' would have been the limit in plank length?
-
And a lovely home she is, thank you for sharing. If you don't mind me asking, where's home port?
-
Micha, I disagree. Please view the below as Leo (Sampson Boat Co) planks the Tally Ho. (I highly recommend watching the entire series.) There are videos of them planking the deck, both are nothing short of perfection. I've watched other wooden boat builds on YouTube where the builders are making near perfect vessels. Now, maybe one doesn't often or ever see perfection in glass hulls coming off a factory floor but one off wooden hull boats is a different critter. Keith

Rick, I'd appreciate seeing photos of your home on the water unless that's invading your privacy. Truly wonderful work on the steam engine, thank you for posting.

Wonderful! Rick, do you live on a narrowboat? If so I'm envious.
-
Chris, that looks so fantastic and again, it's really hard for me to believe it's paper. Extremely nice work.

A Maggie update.....she's reached a comfort level (for her) and seems unwilling to push herself to try and reach her pre stroke self. At this point I]if something were to happen to me, there's no way she could care of herself and me. We're financially exposed so we've started looking at senior retirement facilities. Maggie is receptive to the idea but I'm pretty resentful as I'm not ready for retirement facility living but it is what it is. Thank you to everyone for following along, Keith
-
Thank you, Pat. I've pretty much ditched the idea of recreating photo scenes. I think it's way too ambitious.
-
Thank you, Keith I can't transfer photos from my phone to our Mac. I've got a fisheye lens I've yet to use, it's on my 'to do' list. Da may luk reet bud da be twistin me knickers paintin da liddle buggers.

Thank you to all for the comments and likes. Thank you, Eric. I'm kinda getting into painting these Shapeways figures though the 'less is more' approach is one I'll be taking going forward. It takes far too long to paint details that are not seen at normal viewing distance. I'm exercising myself needlessly.
