Jan you are wrong! He improved again, eventhough, we mere mortals thought he couldn't ... although ... that centre raft's strapping looks a bit sloppy ... -
Latoen is a mixture of Cu an Sn, wich actually is yellow copper, which is brass, Kees, no offence meant.

Thanks Mark. SHould have thought of that. Not really the easy way to watch a movie, but at least you can see it

Nope, it will envelope it entirely ... pullin' your leg mate. Couldn't you replace the balsa for a less harmful wood?

Wonderful work, as Jan wrote: Life like details. I am very much taken by your brass work. Well done

Brittish/Australian Navy WWII V&W-class destroyers were blue as well, e.g. HMAS Vendetta (1944), HMAS Stuart I00 (1942-2, 1945), HMAS Warramunga I44 (1943), and some Pacific located battleships e.g. HMS Duke of York, HMS Anson . These had a blue rectangle on the side. Very nice details, Greg. The PE makes the model come to life ...

No hazards wheather wise here, John, this is the wet part of the globe. Although it seems a bit strange to wish a happy new year when those are "threatened" by fire/smoke. Dispite the former I hope you and yours will have a very happy and healthy 2020, and I hope to enjoy the fruit of your modelling endeavours

HMCSS Victoria 1855 by BANYAN - 1:72
cog replied to BANYAN's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
Pat, those skylights look marvelous, you should take scale into account, and not mix up realism, with reality. Somehow modellers seem to think they can recreate at a small scale up to some tiny detail which would hardly be visible on an enlarged image of the real thing. You can be proud of your creation. Your deck is filling up nicely!- 993 replies

Derek, A drawplate is used to make round dowels at certain sizes, you "draw" a squarish piece of wood through a hole in the metal plate. At least that is what the drawplates used on MSW are applied for in general Parallel pliers are pliers of which the beak is bent. When you open the beak, the distance between the tip of the beak up to the curvature, will be equal over that length, instead of getting smaller over it's entire length nearing the swivel point. The advantage is you get equal grip on that part of the plier

merry Christmas to you and your family too

Lovely progress Dan. The red does indeed accentuates the cutted edges, so ithose do not look like something partly finished. Looking forward to the "under ground" merry X-mas & all the best for the new year to you and yours

Roger, Wouldn't that create large tears in the bulkheads (once you get there) Usually those rasps are a wee bit rough for this. Besides, there is the difference between the hard and the soft wood which could deliver a surprising effect whilst rasping. It's just a thought as I have no experience with rasping the combination, and am used to cutting soft wood like balsa (with a knife) if I need to take off slivers, and sand the last bit

Just thinking about those blocks at that size will give me a headache! Impeccable craftmanship

Take care, we'll be waiting ... even if you need utill next year. Getting better is of primary importance

Can i live without a BYRNES TABLE SAW
cog replied to shihawk's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
What's 16 days on a modellers life. You can still saw your wood the old way Once you have used the Byrnes ... you suddenly can't anymore, it is very odd You mean you can't argue ... with her -
Have a look at some of @kees de mol's builds. He has made some plastick scratch builds which may help out

It can be, however, we loose more and more knowledge on the use of so called "craftmanship"

As per your usual, very lovely and crisp details, especially at the scale you work Interesting mobile laser cutter. Concerning the vector driver, does the cutter support the required software? For just the driver might just not be sufficient to get it working with vector graphics. Keep us informed on your findings please

Lovely job indeed
