  1. I would add a good coping/fret saw to the list above as they do come in handy.
  2. 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
  3. 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 🙂
  4. 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.
  5. 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 👍😁
  6. 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 👍😁
  7. 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.
  8. 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 👍😃
  9. Welcome to MSW, some nice models you have got there!!
  10. 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.
  11. This WILL be interesting as I'm also following Popeyes log on this build!! It's a good thing my chair is lightweight!
  12. 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!!
  13. Fantastic model, Mustafa you've done yourself proud. Well done😃👍
