  1. Amen to that, cars had bags of character and charm back then. Excellent work as always Craig !
  2. Thanks Matt, I'm taking a break from this mammoth planking adventure for a while so I don't get complacent and start making mistakes. Thanks to all for the likes👍 Cheers
  3. Hello playmates, whoops, sorry fellow modellers, I'm back on my Cutter and taking a break from planking Winnie. She sure is big! Anyway, I've been trying to sort out the aft companion way, but I've made two that when placed did not look right 🤔 so I started a third and this time it also includes a skylight for the Masters cabin. Sorry but I'm having the same problems as popeye (Denis) and my camera on my phone has stopped working, waiting for new phone, so photos coming soon. I will be working my way through the deck fittings for a while. So I'll see you all next time👍 Cheers Thanks for stopping by and the likes.
  4. Looking good Doc, I think the beech looks very much like oak does on a full size build!
  5. I may have try making rope your way😂 as there's not many suppliers this side of the pond for good quality rope!
  6. What a beautiful motor!! Excellent and exquisite workmanship!
  7. Hello, I've used Asda or Tesco own brand gluestick for all my templates, dampening with a sponge removes paper and glue residue although I do leave templates on if not seen and just remove where I need to glue parts together.
  8. I'm with Lou on the photos, with flash as without looks a little dark. Looking good 😁
  9. I see what you mean, looks like Monster House from the kids film of the same name, nice abode for yourself though Lou 😁
  10. I will look forward to those logs Jack. Those woods should look spectacular with a gloss varnish like the full size Manhassett
  11. Patrick, I hope you're feeling better quickly and you get the better of the awful virus!
  12. Welcome to MSW Jon and happy sailing!
  13. Hi, after reading through the options you've been given I'll add mine if I may. Any household filler would suffice, I've found powder that you mix preferable to ready mixed as you'd be able to get the consistency to suit your needs. From childhood modelling papier mache I used was any cheap paper(newspapers) and wallpaper paste. Good luck with your build👍
  14. Same as everyone else, welcome back Craig. I think cars of the 30s and 40s looked beautiful, nice sweeping curves. I'm in for this one!
  15. Of course, nothing out of place here in Blighty, old chap!!😁 As Lou said, coming along nicely 😀
  16. Now Winnie is upside down, planking continues painfully slowly as I'm probably getting one strake on each time. Life has had an impact on my modelling time but I've got the first band of planking plus the drop plank in place on the starboard side. I will recheck the lining off for the next 3 bands and adjust as necessary. Sorry no photos but I will try a get a few up next time. Thanks for looking in and the likes. Cheers
  17. Don't beat yourself up Kevin, it's looking great😁
  18. Clotilda's coming on Denis, and you do keep picking up those obscure models😏 but I'm sure you'll do your magic and turn out something close to perfection!
  19. Looking really nice, you have done some great work!
  20. It's good to see you back Jack, working or not. These are strange times we're living through!! Take care and get better my friend 😉
