I seem to mostly use Gorilla products. Gorilla PVA Wood Glue for the majority of the build and then I have Gorilla CA glue which I use on the ends of ropes or adding that 1 piece that needs to bond quickly. If I have plastic pieces, either the CA or Tamiya Extra Thin. I have been using Gorilla CA for years now and have never had a bottle dry up and my current bottle of PVA is well over a year old and no sign of it drying up or getting old. -

lol, thanks for the follow and glad you like the stream haha. The doggy cam is new I have always found the Vallejo paints somewhat finicky but a 50/50 ratio with a pressure of around 15psi should be a good starting point. You might have a bent needle point as well but you said it was happening with 3 different ones... ya could be something not right there. Yesterdays stream was pretty boring just doing PE

I have recently got a gaahleri to compliment my Badger 105 and have been very happy with it and it is much less in cost than the Iwata's and other high end brushes. But before you go down that road, I would be happy to discuss the problem to see if it is more about paint, thinner, bush cleaning or any of the other problems that could be causing it. I have been airbushing plastic models for over 5 years now. Feel free to dm me, or happy to discuss it in here (assuming you wish to).

Tiny update, this weeks class was about sanding the ribs to shape them for the planks. After putting too much finger pressure in the wrong spot and having to repair my ham fisted approach, all fixed and the first plank put in place And I need more and bigger clamps!!!!! MORE CLAMPS!

I enjoy how she mumbles and talks to herself in confusion, shows I am not the only one who has to scratch my head and figure out what instructions and drawings are really telling me haha.

And we are complete. This kit was a ton of fun, my 2nd build. Most definitely there are errors, I know where many of them are and I know how not to repeat them the next time There are things I would do different next time. Thank you for the encouragement folks! Onto the Lobster Smack and the Norden 603.

Managed to get a bit me PE and dry fitting done, having to think all this through for the painting of the superstructure before I glue it all together. Been so busy with the wood builds that this one got put on the back burner but think I am going to find the time and get this one sorted.

My first day doing sails and rigging - I have zero clue of I did this right. The description in the manual is like "huh". But between the builds on this forum, the manual and the one decent video on youtube, we muddled along Have to say, I am a bit confused by the battens, every small sailing vessel I have been on, the battens are usually in a cloth sleeve, not glued or attached to the sails. Anyone have insight on if this is actually correct or just simplified for the model? Lots of muddling with knots and glue. Probably not overly correct but doesn't look terrible. Still have the lines to clean up, some paint touch ups here and there and the stand to finish. So another day or two and will have it ship shape. Did discover one very serious error today, and I am shocked that no one else noticed it either..... I have been around sail boats for over 40 years and I can't believe I did it nor did not notice it until today. Scroll up in the old photos and check out the cleats, I glued both of them on upside down bwahahahaha.

Productive morning. Finally got to use my useless plane scribing tool for something it seems to do well, simulating planking; Interesting gap left behind, but the seats will cover it, but will probably put something in there to less the visibility. Before putting the deck on, put some of the other pieces on while everything is exposed. and put the deck on. Not a ton of room for clamps, nor do I own many but managed with elastics and some angles.

Not quite finished the Pram yet, but there is a group build underway on Youtube for the Lobster Smack being run by Olha Batchvarov (https://www.youtube.com/@OlhaBatchvarov/streams). There are several builders all working on it so jumped in to learn with them. After week one, the skeleton is put together. I actually won this kit in a raffle and it comes with many tools, the paints and extras, decent little setup.

Productive Sunday! Finished the oars, mast, gaff and boom. Laid out the sail and treated it with a PVA/water wash. and stepped the mast! She is coming along. Expect to receive my new nails later this week and will see if we can get most of this finished up next weekend.

I completely agree palmerit. I am surprised that they have not made the little tweaks to get this back into the beginner category, unless they like the confusion cause part of learning is how to figure it out on your own? haha. I have new nails coming - I had to order something from somewhere else who had the right size so spent a few bucks instead of going through the complaint process, I missed that the mast diagrams where out by about 3% so I ended up removing about a quarter of an inch from the mast when I shouldn't have, so I hope that does not bite me in the backside. Now I am trying to decypher the instructions on how the hardware goes on the mast, that will be todays challenged adventure. . Despite my grumblings and pointing out the obvious, still loving it!
