it has fleurs de lys (with an additional central "spike") what do you mean by the "central spike", a fleur de lis has two leaves and a spike. -
That's what's happening with most plastic kits. Details are becoming more important, and since we have the technology to do it ...

This spring I cut most of the bamboo bushes in my garden, so I have a lot of stalks left. I can imagine, there are people at your side of the pond whom have done the same, and still have the stalks. Maybe scratch builders with a garden should plant bamboo a few years before they start their build

I have to remind myself that this ship is a mere 10cm long ... Increadible work on those masts and sails, Igor. I see you still have the giant match.

Hope you find some mre time to finish this lady ...

Sorry to hear about the off day. Something we all have to deal with every once in a while ... usually the best thing is to drop anything you are doing and get away. Since in plastic builds mainly water based paints are used we work a lot with acrylc varnishes too. So it is said ... not true. For instance, Tamiya isn't a real acrylic. Neither is their lacquer. Their rattle can lacquer sticks very well to any other acrylic paint as well, like Mig or Vallejo, maybe you should give theirs a try. Vallejo has rattle cans for clear, and flat as well. Don't use their bottles for airbrush, those are a disaster

I am not knowledgable on Einhell, but Proxxon has a good one but restricts you to size, and is near to what you want to spend. Another option is Hegner, but more expensive. However, the first question you should ask yourself, is "what will I use it for, and what's the largest piece I will cut with it". That will decide the type of machine, and (unfortunately) the price. If you buy only based on price, you might end up with a machine gathering dust, and I don't mean sawdust.

What are you blubbering about mistakes, so far you've solved a kit problem at the bow, stiffened the frames so it isn't a wobbly assembly, got the lot sanded to a smooth lined shape, and added your first plank. As Sam said, "are you done yet", or do we have to give you a bath! Before you start planking!

Very impressive at the size you are working in. Your tool, is that made from a syringe needle?

Odd. When I look at how smooth brass PE parts are for my builds, I would expect to not be able to glue them when you put it that way. Your davit regiment looks good though. I think it will by rather hard to rig the davits off ship, add the boat and get them on, or you should have a jig with which you can slide the entirety on it's place, and even then to glue that will be a pain. Do you really need to walk there ... I wish you and your wife lots of strength the coming weeks, take care

Wonderful work on the flying machine, Grant. You should send her shopping, at least if it is one of her virtues That will cut you some slack to fly around the house with your machine and look for a fitting landing spot.

Frank, as we say: a monks job. You are doing well My two cents on your production ... To assure a fixed distance between the rings, you should either fixate your third and fourth hand, probably screw them on a plank or take a piece of wood of the appropriate distance and put it between the legs of the two hands. To make a flexible joint, you could loop several turns through the rings, and after that loop the thread arund those loops, tie at one end, and CA to the ring, so the CA doesn't harden the entire link

Now we know the man behind the ship. A lovely ship it is too

Jan, You came up with an interesting dilemma First question is the state of readiness of the build ...

Dental insurances cover barely anything, you are forced to pay stunning amounts to find out coverage is nill, at least here in the Netherlands. Most physician's cost are covered though. Why don't insurance companies do not understand that eating healthy is a basis for healthy living, quick recovery from injuries/illnesses, and less doctor's cost, hence less insurance cost ...
