  1. Hi Jan, welcome to MSW
  2. I reckon you could write a book for modellers with all the great tips you gives us Craig 😆👍
  3. Thanks OC, I'm glad to be here. I thought after lurking here in non-ship I'd take the plunge and join the fun
  4. I've been tempted into doing this build after watching Craig and his many non-ship projects and picked the Dauntless as I like carrier borne bombers and fighters from the Pacific campaign. Now it's been at least 40+ years since I did a plastic aircraft model so please bear with me, also its OOB, no mods or aftermarket stuff, just plain as is. I'll be going with the US navy tri-colour paint scheme but they not arrived yet so maybe a while until I
  5. You're doing a grand job LS keep up the good work and Victory will look fantastic 😁
  6. Welcome to MSW, a very nice looking cutter you have there.
  7. Excellent model Peta, it's been a pleasure to watch you build. Cheers 😃👍

  11. Very nice Victory Tony
  12. I would add a good coping/fret saw to the list above as they do come in handy.

  14. Superb work Craig. I really like this build as it's one of my preferred eras of aircraft, carrier borne fighters and bombers both US and Japanese. OMG I just looked at the photos on my tablet as usually I use my mobile and the detail you got ......!!!! So once again SUPERB work
  15. Tony even after all the frames for the cross section and bulkheads for this build I still wander off the vertical, but as I don't cut to the line it usually is simple to get over. I have been looking on Ebay and gumtree for a scroll saw because if I get one cheap enough I can also get something else such a table saw or sander. Cheers 🙂
  16. Winchelsea would be an excellent choice as you have all the laser cut parts from Chuck if you need them. As to tools I'm still just using a coping saw and craft knife, not got round to buying a scroll saw yet. Did have one on order but cancelled it and got refund after waiting 6 weeks and still not delivered. 😡. I will get one before I move on to Winchelsea Cheers.
  17. Welcome to MSW, have fun and enjoy!!
  18. Thank you LS, I have found it very testing but also satisfying when I do get it right. If you want a good scratch project may I suggest Chuck's HMS Winchelsea group build as there is Chuck's own magnificent build log and you can download the monograph chapters. Just have to buy access to the plans $15 about £13 and get them printed, most can be done at your local library, but the largest need a professional printer as they are A0 size, cost about £15. Cheers 👍😁
  19. Hello everyone, I managed to get the first belt of planking done over the weekend and did the last of the six strakes today. Next time I shall fit the garboard strake and work the next belt from the keel. Thanks for the likes and dropping by. Cheers 👍😁
