At least I know where that septic worktop comes from ... So far I've enjoyed your build tremendously (got the drawings in my "retirement" stash), and your build will be one I will certainly return to for guidance. Take care with the operation, and wish you a speedy recovery- 124 replies

Not amongst survivors ... I've been distracted from your log for far to long. Glad your health has been restored, and you survived the droppings from whatever Aussie predator (carnivor or veggetarian).Hope you get some more building, and a little less talking time ... that is to say for us

You mean the build is an extension of one's self. Interesting, but then it wouldn't necessarilly be a bad conscience, but the ship may not fit the builder As some of the others have written, but in other words: I would like to see the "bad" or "ugly" pieces. Love the way you build develops

Well done Denis. Love the way she turned out ... a little poetry wouldn't come a miss ... she being Brand -new;and you know consequently a little stiff I was careful of her and (having thoroughly oiled the universal joint tested my gas felt of her radiator made sure her springs were O.

You start to build your own fleet of destroyers ... gettin' like me If you have a dazzle image taken square of the side of the ship, you could enlarge it to the size of your build and transpose it on to the hull. EIther by cutting it out and make a template with mask paper/tape, or draw it onto the hull. I used the former method for the H-class tribal I'm building. I scanned the required image from a book, cut out the different parts and copied them by tracing the shape on Tamiya masking tape the 2" width one. You should take into account, you will be painting from light to darker, as light doesn't cover a dark underground as well as vice versa. I painted the entire hull in the lightest colour, and then moved to a darker shade. I'll photograph the sequences in my next dazzled body build ... should have thought about ithat.

Marcus, WIsh your wife well, and I hope she'll have a speedy recovery. You have set your ambitions high with the ships of Abel Tasman, you'll have some exploring to do too.

You are making some incredible fine details at the scale you are working on, Steven. A joy to watch your updates

I use a round file and twist it round to open up holes, when I use the exacto knife method I tend to make the edge look like saw's teeth <scratches head>

Some sort of magician you are ... or did you use a flute on the rope? (Last picture)

The standing rigging must be a walk in the park considering the complexity of the running rigging. Very well done Messis, a very clean and crisp build

Oi Butts, Works with decals on grey as well Haven't seen you crap an airplane yet RGL ...
-
What I do: I spray a layer of gloss lacquer, add the decals, when fixed, spray a layer of clear lacquer, satin or mat, and after that shade or weather or whatever
-
Quite a difference compared to the kit's, both your guns and your carriages came out wonderful. I can even see the hole for the peg in the axle. Very well done!
-
Depends if the shading should pass over the decal or not. If it does it's easy, than it is "Yes", you'll be inventive enough for the other possibillity

I would say: "Hang in there mate" you've got still some yards to go ... looking good
-
The latter is a must as you would hardly see a line on a slick surface with that hardness. I saw the video's ... very educational. Thanks for pointing those out, Mark
-
Impressive, I'll have a look at that video. Are you certain it's a 6H not a 6B pencil? Lines look like they are made with a soft pencil

With regards to tying down the prop, you could use eybolts, this may be a source. You will probably be able to make something yourself based on these Now I see her at dinner, Steve, she does match your interior quite well
