  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. welcome to MSW
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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🤪😉
  8. I'll chime in with Birra Moretti, Peroni or the Hellas Mythos beer, just my two pennies worth 😉
  9. @glbarlowI did think about ordering some, but then thought why not have a go at making them. Also on the list to try making are cannon barrels, I'll attempt casting my own and when I finally get round to purchasing a Syren Ropewalk, I'll try my hand at rope making. In the meantime a couple of spare hours and a break from block production, I made some of the gun carriage cheeks. Thank you for all your input/advice or just plain interest, it keeps me going. Also thanks for the likes. Cheers 😉
  10. I've not forgotten about this, just struggling to find the time. Thanks for hanging in there🙂
  11. I did too. So really good news you're on the mend. The planks (pear?) look pretty good. I imagine it will be a bit more difficult moving down the hull as I believe French ships had a more pronounced tumblehome? Looking forward to more updates😉
  12. For what it's worth I think you made the right choice, making everything yourself, the sense of achievement is worth the pain of the gone wrongs and try agains! Cheerful is really looking the business and as always a great informative log.
  13. I second this statement, work of art? yes, and we were extremely privileged to watch it come to fruition from the first foundation stone to the last coping stone🙂🙂
  14. Hello and welcome to MSW, you've made a good start. If you haven't already, I'd advise you to start a build log, you will find there will be plenty of people ready with advice to help with problems and difficulties. Above all have fun 😉
  15. I'm in Craig, I'm sure you'll do your usual brilliant magic!
  16. Thank you Derek, as it happens I've just had a couple of hours doing just that, with a grand total of 5 blocks. Once I got into a rhythm I found it quite calming, but I think 5 at a time is maybe my limit as the ends of my fingers are thinner 😁
  17. Bienvenue to MSW Mic, I look forward to seeing a build log for whichever one you choose, bonne chance!!
  18. A very nice model Craig, the dark blue gloss finish looks perfect with the chrome!
  19. Welcome to MSW Jas! All great advice above, so have fun 🙂
  20. You are a lucky man Lou 😎 I'm willing to bet there is an off road Ferrari in the pipeline as Porsche and Jaguar have SUV's Craig, the chrome looks loads better with the molotow ink, proper shiny metalwork 🙂
  21. Ditto to the above. It looks a great base for the colour finish!
