  1. 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 👍😁
  2. welcome to MSW
  3. My fingers itched so I have bought a model!! Thanks Craig 😆😆 Hasegawa 1:48 Scale Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless Model Kit I picked this one as I like the aircraft from the ww2 Pacific campaign. I hope I can do it justice.
  4. Thank you gentlemen, your words are encouraging. I'm going to try and get in the shipyard and run a couple strakes this weekend. Thanks for looking in. Cheers 👍😃
  5. Welcome to MSW, some nice models you have got there!!
  6. Hi LS, it looks like the break worked, it is good to see you advancing your Victory, which is looking good.👍😃 I think you are doing a great job at this small scale. Cheers.
  7. This WILL be interesting as I'm also following Popeyes log on this build!! It's a good thing my chair is lightweight!
  8. A very good looking model Craig, watching your do all your aircraft makes my fingers itch to do one 😆 You set the bar high though!!
  9. Welcome to MSW Bob😃

  12. welcome to MSW Arina
  13. Thank you, for you encouraging words.🙂 Hopefully when I've finished the port side there will be a noticeable difference, but that remains to be seen!! Cheers 👍
  14. So regards the starboard side planking, it is done, but it's not the best, in fact if I wasn't going to copper it(I would like to get a bit of practice for when I finally get Chris's Speedy)I would rip it off and start again, all the problems I've had come down to my lack of preparation 😫 I was far to eager to start planking and now it's bit me. LESSON LEARNED The port side as you can see needed a bit of shimming on the forward 3 or 4 bulkheads (poor initial cutting) but after more than a few hours work I think its probably good to go. So I've used thread to line the planking belts and next I will mark planks out and fingers crossed I'll get this alot more accurate and acceptable. I think that starting Winchelsea is still quite a long way off.!! Thanks for looking in.🙂 Cheers 👍
  15. Got to be Heinz though ( other brands are available) as they make tomatoes in other colours!! So when do we go back to discussing square towels???
  16. Wonderful work!!, I'm now pulling up a chair to watch, albeit a little late for the start!
  17. A square tomato will fit any shape hole if you apply plenty of pushing and it helps if the tomato is very ripe 😆
  18. Wow! Now there's a challenge!! The knees, lodging and hanging variety gave me headaches at 1:60 scale now you're doing more at a much smaller scale and making it look easy👏👏 I take my hat off to you sir!! Looking good!!
