  1. Awe inspiring Jesse. She really looks ready to sail into the sunset ... up to new adventures
  2. Steve, it has to be taken under consideration by the builders guild, and skipping grades is only done very rarely. Nowing the type of men, the journeyman is out of your grasp anyway, the leap is by far to steep, besides that last redo killed any chance on that one, even apprenticeship may be a no go because of that. You would be back sweeping floors ... with or without (sweep?)walker
  3. Can't wait to see the finished hull. The camouflage looks very promising
  4. A blb can fetch you a nice amount ... just like a single coloured canvas ... with a red dot
  5. The Vallejo airbrush primer is a definite DON"T, and I really mean don't even try it on brass. There are Vallejo rattle can primers, but I haven't tried them on brass yet, so you'll better steer away from those too for the time being. I will try it soon. Tamiya rattlecan primer is currenty the best available primer for brass. Maybe expensive, but it even sticks on unclean brass parts. I have hands on experience for the latter. Advantage of Tamiya primer: You can use most acrylic (airbrush) paints on it too.
  6. Mark, also known as "Eagle Eye" ... I spotted it too, eagle eye confirmed it, it seems you need to do some "re-bending" Steve. Although it is rather late in the railing season. You might want to use a square piece of wood to set the location of the twists and turns in the horizontal, so you can easily avoid those "hanging" railings. Should have thought of it before, but my age is slowing me down (love the age excuse it can be used on everything) Cheers
  7. You are sick! Real sick ... infected I would precise ... by the way, help is unavailable, it is terminal
  8. Aussie advice, now I have two advisors ... It seems that all the good stuff comes from downundah maybe a silly question Mrs Cat, but what would you need Zap for on a wooden build? (just curious)
  9. I know, Eric, but it would explain e.g. missing longitudinal hogchains as rigidity would be established through the braces ...
  10. Thanks Lou, you come up with that after I ordered my replacement bottles!!! I'll look into that for my next order. I have to order from the UK as BSI is not sold here
  11. We are nicely talking about hogchains, but did you consider diagonal bracing? Adam Kane The Western River Steamboat pg 110 ...
  12. Ah forgot, I'm still working, now from home, so these are "in between" responses. I keep on forgetting you just start your workday when I'm in overtime, which is lately kind of normal ...
  13. Mark, yes it was clean, I do not know if it still is after my spitting fit! Greg, I was afraid you might come up with that solution ... darn, just got back, and I'm put on a waiting list, because of GLUE!!!
  14. Disregarding all those intreesting posts, did you manage to solve the issue in the red circle? (with or without blood)
  15. Mike, veneer is normally peeled from a trunk, like peeling an apple, no to so much sliced. It would explain the fineness of grain being more toward the centre of the tree, compared to a somewhat coarser structure on the outside. The kit could be with an outerlayer ebonny veneer
