  1. I thught it was the other way around, do I look into the horses a.. when I look at the front
  2. Sam, that is because State side likes it with millitairy precisions, whilst ancient Europeans are older, and softer, hence soft touchy names. Weaponry has changed dramatically over time Sam. I recon nowadays nobody would be looking like a porcupine, more like Swiss Ementaler
  3. As a newby on PE you are doing marvelous, Yves. I remember my first parts, they were a real challenge to me
  4. Sorry about your wife's recurrent node. I hope, if surgery is required, it will be easy on her, and she'll recover quickly and fully. You are in my thoughts. It must be very hard on you both. About the mindless work: Yes that happens if you let your mind wonder at other (complex/interesting) things, for you do not seem very mindless to me. To avoid using the wrong row of holes in your template, mask the row you do not need as a visiual aid. Although, it does make the mindless work even more boring. I like your lunchboxes in the last picture I think I would have liked a pair of those when I was at highschool.
  5. Good evening Jo (I presume it isn't night yet, since we do not know the general location of your whereabouts) I always forget the meaning of the "CEO" (must be an aversion to the type) thanks for reminding me. Although, you do not have to shout to me When I hear or read "chief" I see an indian with a feathered headdress before me, you can understand it is hard to take such a person serious ... Could be you thought "Netherlands" was somewhere in the States as New York used to be New Amsterdam ... and concerning the double Dutch, only when I excrete words ...
  6. A pie-rate shouldeth be able to maketh himself heard, but I never expecteth thou o cap'n to be the twist'n type I wisheth thou many hours of enjoyment carvin' the scrollwork
  7. Ugly and old would fit me too By the way (I'm not the abbreviation type, those turn me daft as I mix up several languages if I use them e.g.: BTW is VAT in Dutch) have you decided on your tools of destruction to bring the balsa in line? I liked Sams rasps, haven't got those (yet) ... I think you would do good using the dremel to get the bulk off, and sand the remainder with one of your precious emery boards ... still ... it's your party ... looking forward to the result
  8. Ouch ... you started model building, you call that coming to your sences ... (don't listen to me, listen to Sam ... he's old and wise, I'm just older (than Sam) and ugly)
  9. Yves, I got this link through a friend of mine, looks a lot like the same boat. maybe interesting PE wise
  10. You can use your Dremel with a sanding drum (coarse) go outside when you sand it down!!! I'm not joking
  11. Not necessarily, Sam. Jo may be faring rather well ...
  12. Lovely build Pieter. Nice work on those "faux" carriages. I thought you would have painted the sides of them in a red to black gradient ...
  13. So we must have something in common ... you can build lovely models and I cannot P.s. You are right, my origins are not from Gelderland
  14. not to shabby a job for a first time mate. rather nice actualy
  15. Jo, Like Sam has the tendency to mixup the letters in some words, you would barly notice it though, I have the tendency to be somewhat direct. Say it as it is ... In actual fact most of us are whimps is what Sam says, including me Enjoy the rasping and sanding. So far you do not do any worse than most of us have done, or still do ... probably you do better
  16. Whomever said it is a ship of the line, Jan? Nou breekt m'n klomp! One should probably refraini from clogging ...?
  17. Which is all very nice, but how many drops of black, or for that matter, ml I can do a single drop of black and stil have a darkish grey with two drops of pale grey
  18. Wouldn't louvres be more logical, especially on forward ducts? Happy Easter
  19. Odd, even endgrain on balsa is soft, balsa is soft which ever way you cut it, although, cutting cross grain will be slightly harder. Take a rough file and work it down to a sandable "thickness", or a small hand saw to cut it back
  20. That will be the case when the unstable orientation has been achieved, she will still be an Identified Clog maybe Inverted, something like an Identified Turtle Clog
  21. British and Commonwealth Warship Camouflage of WWII (vol 2): Battleships and Aircraft Carriers by Malcom Wright
  22. So that's where I came from, dug up Interesting bits of information
  23. I would apreciate that very much. Lots to learn from you ... as usual
  24. I would sooner say it is an Identified Stranded Clog ... not much floating going on, uncertain about it's floating capacity, and it is certain it is a clog
