  1. Thanks RGL. Hmmm, you seem to know my age. Glad someone does. She turned out rather nice. Like the make-up you applied ... I just wondered: the light colour was pre WWI ... at that time she was still British ... or was white running up to WWII ... getting old ... My turn what turn...?
  2. Thanks OC, I'm still looking into the "placement" of the decals. Got enough to plaster the hull with it, so thanks for the offer, but don't bother. Waste of money to use the postal services ...
  3. OC, it is too, cap'n sicum, always nauseous when on board. Glad I'm not tom, never could ketchup ... Look how RGL simply passes me by with his build, never had a chance to catch him (not even up), could not get a long side, even if I wanted to!
  4. I was lazy,bought the machine from our Russian friend Domanoff. Well done Roger. Looks very sturdy!!
  5. Be careful what you write Dirk, you may be blamed for picking on RGL. He's somewhat sensitive with his SMS - as he put it, although, I would just refer to an inferiority complex Oh Greg, it isn't personal, you just bring out the worst in me ... crappy builds, ordering at the wrong internet shop, you know ... the lot ... Oh, nearly forgot, thanks Dirk, and good to have your positive feedback
  6. I have enjoyed the trip very much indeed, Nils. You came up wih another stunning model, and a very entertaining build. Thank you for sharing!!!
  7. 6'6" matey ... so now it's clear you are picking on me grumpy ... as an aside, you are rather tall for an Aussie I would say ... no Northern European ancestry in your lineage ... I entirely agree (about the capsicum) And that, Mr Bunny, is quite questionable ...
  8. Gwen, knows you need to be in the right state of mind to tackle Musi. So tell me, why glass for the one, and plexiglass for the other ...
  9. Finally someone whom speaks English!! Mr Bunny, a capsicum "ain't no pepper" Who wouldn't ... even when you write I get the feeling you take the mickey out of me ... like you always think I'm picking on you ...
  10. How about the build priority ... we should be #1 mister!!! No beer, you need a steady hand, we need progress, pictures, know what went wrong, brass pieces like shooting stars ... P.s. save me a burger ... please
  11. Lovely work, Dan, I'm glad I only have to cut the brass, not cut and make those gussets as well You've got quite a lot of work on that structure Dan
  12. A lovely ship, a magnificent build, look forward to her maiden voyage
  13. Your Monday is Wednesday ...!? Odd bunch downunder ... I found a few things I was missing ... still a ways to go ...
  14. The display is an important part of the build ... thus ... How's the garden clean up going ... I just repaired the fence between the meadow and my garden, trimmed the lawn at those akward corners, and am trying to get my workbench in a state I can actually cut some brass for Vendetta ...
  15. You might try Mr Delacroix, or "Jouf", either might have some information on such an obscure object ...
  16. I shan't, I'm awaiting PE from Singapore - paravane items - resin parts from Ukrain, which were OOS. I broke the davits whilst taking them of the sprue, so I'll be bashing them, to start with brass ... if that doesn't work for me - because I can only make them realistic at 1:50, I'll try styrene ... I didn't promise myself such a task, it's a weekly thing ... mowing, pruning, picking strawberries. The latter a daily thing, but not to demanding, besides I always seem to carry in less than I picked on, I mean "up" ... You didn't finish Isuzu !?!?!? Something more to pick on ... stored for future reference ... "One roll lasts forever." ........ don't strech it mate
  17. Thanks all for the interest in the trio build & the likes Thanks Greg, I'll look into that. I tried my hand at 0.2mm brass rod to turn it into a shapely ringlet ... fat chance, they look like manacles for an elephant People whom buy cars for their grandchildren usually are nice, and subsequently nice to talk too ... there is the proverbial exception of course Popeye ... We'll have double the fun, since the whiny is off whinying ... strange he is such an accompished builder ... whom ever would have thought those qualities go together ... I have to admit, Denis, my next build is on it's way from the UK ... I look where paints, e.a. are available and at what price (including postage) then I'll make my decision. I try to get materials from shops near by, but since modelbuilding seems to turn into a forgotten art, it does get harder ...
  18. Denis, you shouldn't be let loose without a least 3 chaperones in whatever store you go!!! Your admiral showed some severe weak moments there
  19. not elaborate the rigging ...right, I wish I could say that ... I find it hard enough to distinguish where to attach what!!! How did you make the rigging eyelets you have used on the deck, funnels etc. Mine look like monstrosities if i compare them to yours ... Pictures later of last efforts to make it look like a well equiped ship ...
