Looking good, Dan. I would have expected the "hanging" support to have it's two outer supports higher than the inner two ... Astonishing to realise how much time some simple looking supports need to cut and put together! Sometimes I use a round cutter/drill in straight edged corners too to give me some leeway with the knife/saw. Never would have thought of that Slog. -
Mike, Can you give me the measurements of the prop. The smallest ones I can find are 9" or 10" which is a wee bit to large to have it twirl around ... but I wouldn't mind giving it a try meself ... (a good excuse to do something else then twisting, folding, and glueing PE) Love the look of your model ...

That was not my thought, I gathered you had to correct the angle on the rod before you could attach the sleeve ... A resistance soldering unit ... well now that is new to me Looked it up, what I make of it, is it looks a lot like welding with solder ... interesting device

Impressive work again. There are two questions comming to mind though. - Why did you solder with an iron instead of a torch? - Why didn't you solder the sleeve, you were soldering anyway ...? I think I know the answer of the last question, but am not certain
-
That hurts ... not the fact that you need to redo the stern, cut it and build it up again, we have all had that, but the resulting sad image of your frustration ... I wish you good luck with the work to be done.

I can't get the DeWalt, neither can I get the Jet here, so I am looking at two prospective machines: Pégas SCP21CE (Swiss) Hegner Multicut MC2se (German)

I think I wouldn't like the nossle with the stuff. When I see how my CA easily runs out of the bottle ... I would do a transparent paint job

Marvelous eye for detail!!! -
Nice work Robin. You can try out the look of treenailing applying dots with a soft pencil - you'll set the positions for your nails at the same time ... if it is not to your liking you only have to remove the pencil marks ...

2 hours ... not bad. How do you apply your CA? I use a small piece of bass rod (0.5mm thick), the CA on a piece of plastic (everything seems to be packed in plastic so that's the obvious choice) and dip the rod in the CA and apply it to the parts.

Looks good to me Scott. We'll find out soon enough if you are more of a perfectionist than not. If you are you will most certainly have a redo on your hands I like it the way it is ... good luck with the booms

Found Igor's little marvel: He uses silicone, which won't keep after a lengthy time, as far as I could find out. However he did manage a beautiful sea colour(!)

Hello Piet, Thanks for the information. Although I'm not ready to put my model into a casting - by the way, a village where I used to live, Moordrecht near Gouda, has a shop which sells the casting resin - I am going to try with a model I purchased specifically for that purpose. You should look at Igor's ships in bottles. He has done one with cast resin with a colour(!). I'll try to find the buildlog for you. Darn nuisance to loose your data. You've never made a backup (!?) That will be a big loss. Hope they can retrieve most of it if not all. Take heart, the development in the area of recuperating data has gone forward too, and results are getting better.

Use a lighter. Just get it to flame up and it will burn the CA off. Don't keep your lighter to long to near, just to let it burn itself off, and you can restart reattaching the parts. ONLY DO IT ON BRASS TO BRASS GLUED PARTS!!!! I used thin CA too, but applied it with a thin brass/paperclip at intervals. You should manage allright Scott Oh, right, use tweezers. The brass gets rahter hot If that is not to your liking here are some more choices

Those Germans didn't have any imagination whatsoever. You should try something like mine (or Greg's for that matter):

Robin, I do not want to be the proverbial pain in the "you-know-what" but the upper side of a grating usually looks like the one you are not using. The underside is like the one you are ... just for your information ... She's looking good so far Cheers

Scott, PE 1/200 is ... BIG. 1/350 makes your eyes go and if you work without an optivisor ... it possibly gives you a splitting headache, or the feeling your eyes pop outta your head if you work to long on it. Although, it depends on the item too, making AA guns is sheer joy ... so you are in luck with the scale you selected The superstructure is coming along rather nicely. Well done

Looking good Daria. Very impressive array of clamps. Love the bow in your hair
-
Not yet, found a 10" which is still too large, did find a 6.5" but that one was plastic (yak) and a bit to modern for your airplane ... search continues
-
You did it again ... beautiful work Johann
-
Thought you would ... so predictable!! I've got an IJN I-400 from Tamiya with the same bottom colour ... yes, that one too will be repainted when I start on it.
-
It's certainly worth a try, but not with a € 83 model, something cheaper to start with ...
