    Know how that feels, you are just as strange as all of us modellers. Who hasn't done that. As great as this modelling business is there are times when helps to say enough is enough and have a rest. By pure coincidence, I have just done the same. I was adding hand rails and the simplest of tasks was proving frustrating. I persevered with them and started making silly mistakes so will start again next weekend.(I find a week not touching the model helps). Agamemnon is a big kit, lots of work on cannons, but the other kits are also very good as well. as for tools you will be pleasantly surprised how many of those you already have will be ideal for working in wood as well as plastic. You will have the needle files, clamps, scalpels, Etc. and will just need a few extras. Paul

    Coming on nicely. If you are thinking wood for your next kit, of those you mentioned the Agamemnon would be my personal choice. Paul

    Looking brilliant. Great kit this as are the other Trumpeter kits. Love your attention to detail. So much PE. I am building the USS Missouri alongside my main model from the same kit makers and have lots of PE. I have built other kits with PE but I usually get bored with it and give up half way through as I have with the Prince of Wales and Yamato. On the other hand I can spend hours adding small details on wooden models and never get bored with it. Probably because I know it will take around three years + to build. Paul

    Jeff, Read through your log. You are having fun aren't you. You have done some brilliant work on saving the odd mishap. Perseverance and patience are what make good wooden ship modellers and you are showing that with this build. Keep up the good work your Victory is looking very good. Paul

    Hi Zappto, Cracking job as a first model. Gives you experience to move onto something a bit bigger. It does take a while to build a good wooden kit. I allow at least 3-5 years to complete a model. Paul

    What can i say that's not been said Patrick, Brilliant work. The ships boats are so good at that scale. But then so is every part of this incredible build. Looking through your log i like the picture of Shadow's shadow. Reminds me of a still from what i consider a great film, "The final countdown". Your Shadow's shadow looks similar to the silhouette of the USS Nimitz as she moves through the time field. Paul

    I make my own with both sand paper and Emory . That way i can decide on the size and shape i need. I use old scraps of flat wood, Dowling and curved wood. Paul

    Hi Techsan, I think your build looks very good. Don't start pulling apart and end up regretting it. Continue building. I would like to here your backstory. Good luck with whatever decision you chose. Paul

    Hi Don, I am building the 1/84 kit of this ship. As Kevin says lots of good pics with a google search. If you have the same poster that came with mine the colour scheme has a white bottomed hull. I believe at one time this was correct, but she now has a black hull with two white strips which are representative of what would have been the cannon bands where she a war ship. The instructions i have say to paint the top band gold, but it is actually yellow ochre. This paint scheme IE: white, black and yellow ochre seems to be prevalent through most of the ship with a lot of brass showing. Paul

    Just as I thought the you couldn't do a better job than the tram I find this brilliant build log. Fantastic work. Paul
  19. Paul Jarman
    Brilliant job. Saw the first photo and thought it was a taster of the real tram with model photos to follow. The close up looks so real. Paul

    Have very pleasant weekend as well Alain. Welcome to the forum, you will get on with us all here. Great kit HMS AGAMEMNON, will you start a build log for us to follow? Paul
  21. Paul Jarman
    Will be following with interest Danny. Paul
  22. Paul Jarman
    Looking great Danny, Looking through your log and the build areas when you took it apart and rebuilt you've done a super job. Have to double take when looking at your build to realise it is a card model. Paul
  23. Paul Jarman
    Looks good, really taking shape. Good you are back on the build. Paul

    Messis, Yes unless it is in a display case it would patina over time I would imagine. This would defiantly make it more natural rather than forcing it. Paul
  25. Paul Jarman
    great job Messis, At the scale you are working the copper is not taking up too much of the hull. So your plan not to patina is a good one. Paul
