  1. I may have try making rope your way😂 as there's not many suppliers this side of the pond for good quality rope!
  2. 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.
  3. can't wait!! It's good to have you back Lou
  4. I'm with Lou on the photos, with flash as without looks a little dark. Looking good 😁
  5. I guess it's because we never grow up as the women in our lives tell us..... often🤭
  6. True, true brother 😉 I agree wholeheartedly, I build for the change of pace from real life also if it wasn't for you guys here nobody else would be at all interested in my efforts as my family think I'm crazy to spend time on "toy boats"!!🤪 They're only tolerated as it keeps me out the way
  7. I see what you mean, looks like Monster House from the kids film of the same name, nice abode for yourself though Lou 😁
  8. I will look forward to those logs Jack. Those woods should look spectacular with a gloss varnish like the full size Manhassett
  9. Methinks you may be being a bit hard on yourself Lou
  10. 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👍
  11. 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!
  12. Of course, nothing out of place here in Blighty, old chap!!😁 As Lou said, coming along nicely 😀
  13. 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
  14. 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!
  15. 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 😉
  16. Yes it seems to be a one way thing, as the majority of products from the states attract either import duty , VAT or both!!
