  1. Thanks Phil, and everyone who has looked in. Hopefully with the weather getting dryer and warmer here in the UK I'll be able to get Winnie outside and get stuck in to fairing the inner bulwarks so I can carry on planking! I'm looking forward to getting to work on her again.
  2. Thanks Jack, the only thing is it does not bend all that well 🙁 Thank you Phil, I have to admit your Hannah build is inspiration to me!
  3. This happened to me and @Backergave me the solution, resize your photos and upload again. It worked for me🙃 Winnie looks great though, even capsized🙃
  4. Hello all, not been able to do much, work, life and everything else that stops me getting in here has happened. Anyway I sent off for some pen blanks to use for deadeyes and they turned up, so got the fet saw out Cut a couple into quarters to round off into dowels. These are English boxwood £2 apiece with delivery from Wood-shed.co.uk, next is to get them rounded and the holes drilled. While I had the saw out I cut up a small sample of some wood from a shrub I pruned 2 years ago, it's been drying out in the spare room since then. The shrub is Mahonia and according to the net is suitable for small items of wood work. I wanted to see wether I could make some reasonable planks with it as it is a very nice yellow. The strips I've cut are about 6inches long and 1.5mm thick. Well that's all for now as real life has come knocking again. Thanks for all the likes and please come again😀 Cheers
  5. Yes me too. My aunt had her cataracts sorted and could not believe the difference 😉
  6. I can equate to this Mark! I strive to get the planks tight but find more gaps every time I look 🙄. I'll echo the other comments though, the pear does look really good!
  7. Cheers Jack, EG, I'll have a search around for it on fleabay or some of the online model stores. I'm liking have the airbrush as without it, the camo would have had distinct edges.
  8. Thank you Tony, I persevered sanding the marking off and with the rule cut into strips it was easier. I continue to slowly produce blocks, I now have 16, 4mm singles As you can see from the blocks Chris Watton stocks I still need to refine my skills, but I'm quite enjoying the experience. Thanks for hitting the button and visiting. Cheers
  9. Just a quick update, rain has stopped play at work, so I've had a stab at Patrick's suggestion of making the tracks look like they drop down over the top of the running gear. I think it looks better! Thanks Patrick (Backer) How do I get rid of the decal shine? Any help would be greatly appreciated 👍 I've still not decided what unit to place this in🙄 Thanks for the likes, and please call again😁 Cheers
  10. Absolutely amazing workmanship Tony! The companion way is especially good, I also really like the hatch batten handles. I always enjoy following one of your logs.
  11. Block production continues slowly, I now have ten of the larger 6/7mm single blocks and six smaller 4mm single blocks. After looking at various blocks, I decided to give mine more shaping instead of them being, well, "blocky"! The grooves for the stropping still need doing on some of them. Thanks for the likes and calling in🙂 Cheers
  12. Nicely done Mike, don't worry about your sanity, if your wife thinks the same as mine, we're apparently not right in the head for wanting to make small versions of bigger things🤪😉
