  1. Incredible work on the diorama! Those hedges and field look amazing! Very nicely done on the figures! Antibiotics aren’t any fun! I hope you get to feeling better!
  2. I’m starting my first ever RC plane, a Flite Test Bushwacker. The Bushwacker is an STOL plane and will be built from foam board. I have a good friend who has been trying to get me into RC planes for a while, especially since he’s seen my ship models. He offered me the guts for one a few days ago and gave me the link to Flite Test’s website, where the plans are free. You can buy a quick build kit from them, too, with all parts laser-cut. But, this is me we’re talking about. I can’t pass up a good build. I printed the plans out in tiled format. I’ll turn them into a sheet this weekend.
  3. Tennessee is coming along very nicely by any standard! The fact that this is your first model makes it that much more impressive!
  4. I got a soldering station today. The hammock cranes (which severely aggravated me and directly led to the break that started the Magenta build) will be ripped off and have posts soldered to the bottom so they can be pinned in place to avoid the continual breakage that had been happening.
  5. You’ll have fun with it. I have enjoyed my card ship models enough that I’m on my third one right now.
  6. Soleil Royal is looking good! Nicely done on the guns!
  7. If you have a photocopier, you should be able to resize that engine kit relatively easily. Just figure out the scaling difference and do a manual scaling. That’s how I rescaled everything for my Prince de Neufchatel and Hannah builds. For such a small scale, I’d use really thin card or regular paper when rescaling though.
  8. @Dr PR wrote a most excellent guide to rigging a schooner on this website. I used this extensively while rigging my model of the schooner Hannah (much older, but still very similar). I strongly recommend giving it a read.
