  1. Frank, good to hear treatments have finished and life is picked up again. Hope everything turned out as well as may be expected. Hope to see your endeavours at MSW again soon. For now a Merry Christmas and a Healthy and happy New Year to you and your family
  2. OC thank you, my best wishes to you and your lady. Have a Merry Christmas
  3. A pitty you won't build her in a day ... paint her green ... add some red chocolate lifebuoys. Some search, work, and cabin lights ... add RC to switch music channel, and soften or harden the lights ... sounds good to me Sjors!!!
  4. It's like you are building a palazzio ... must have been hard to fit it all together without breaking anything ... very impressive Steven
  5. Last boat at the davits, oerlikon platform, and started rigging the fo'csle, first two lower railings done ... in all, nearly three hours work ...
  6. Since I built one 40years ago, I'll follow along with the master builder of the "Smit Rotjeknor", by now you should be flawless ... ... ok I'll retreat into my dark & silent corner I wish Anja & yourself a very Merry Xmas & the best wishes for 2019
  7. Oeps ... forgot scaling I like your last idea, Steve On the subject of language/words ... I am a pain in the ... neck
  8. Siegfried, Good to see you back at the workbench. As I experienced with scale modelling, colours can be very tricky. It isn't only influenced by scale, but also by the modellers wish to use the true, or the scale colour. At this scale I wonder if scale colour could be possible at all. However, I like the way your red turned out, and do hope you find your answer on the lid's rabbet question. I wish you a merry xmas, but most of all a healthy and happy new year.
  9. it seems for some most of life is defined as a contest, others just like pleasing lines ... a certain flow. I particularly like the cabin's roof as it breaks the rigid lines of the caulked planks
  10. Steve, with regards to your columns, I would use hollow styrene tubes glued to the lower decks. Take an undersized tube or rod - styrene/wooden dowel -which fits in the other one and glue/screw that one to what you call the balcony - usually refered to as bridge(s) if I recall well - so they slide down into the support tubes
  11. well done on the brass nails, must have been hard not to groove the deck planks and much of the same to you G.L.
  12. You've been busy mate. A bit blueish but nice and crisp. Merry Xmas and best wishes for the new year to you too
  13. Thank you for the appreciation of my work, Piet. Good to be hearing from you just before Xmas. How's the modelling virus, still suppressed by lovely weather and the never ending story ...
  14. It just depends on the strength of the thread, and stiffness of the stanchions , Steve... I am working with it - third model I use it on - so far you haven't, and hence miss the knowledge. That's the fun part of this site ... you get so much knowledge through other person's builds besides your own. You only need to ask to enlarge your wealth
  15. next to the boxes with toys for boys ...
  16. Steve, Thanks for the thumbs up. My railing is EZ-line, an elastic thread, which can't stand the heat, so I'll not bring it into the kitchen. I'll be glueing with CA.
  17. Probably because paint was scarce ... different point of view ... I like tho hospital ship with the cross wires ... easy to focus
