  1. That is marvelous, wouldn't have thought about Domanoff's variable speed control, nice touch that one
  2. Spiffy mate ... can hardly see the damage. Nicely done OC. You could add a drop of thick CA to flatten it out even more ...
  3. There is more ...!?!?!? Although little, it shows much, the more choices one gets, the harder it is to choose. You should have stuck to one Sam. Since you already have precious little time to devide between better half, bench, TV, Scamp Trailer (whatever that may be), work, and your build, you shouldn't introduce more variables to influence your decision making skills By the way. I like the way you've secured the guns, backstay looks from this side very well done For the shearing of your rats ... she is still under construction, so you've got some lee way, the buggers may still be a hairy bunch
  4. Ah yes the metric, and imperial measurement systems, you could have added the Japanese system (shakkanhō) too, a Shaku here, a Bu there ... marvelous save. I'm glad you kept the hull in one piece, and your deck attached to it. The details on your door will be visible from a distance, which I like for an RC, else you might as well have left them in a single colour ... I might have made myself a new aft boat deck from some 3mm ply ... I wouldn't want to take the risk you took. It usually turns out the other way with me ...
  5. I think I'll stick to the part with Mr Jameson ... although, my evening will be filled with work ... better wait until I'm ready ...
  6. You will, you just have to dig in ... After a year not having spoken any French, it usually takes me a few days to "pick it up" again. You will be surprised how quickly it will return
  7. A continuation ... I have been looking forward to this. Thanks for the tip on the loctite. I work with Bob Smith Industries CA with this 3D printed material Insta-Cure+ to be exact
  8. Whatch yerself with those translation programs ... google may attach a halyard to her keel, instead of a belaying point ...
  9. It doesn't look that small ... so you've made some very realistic hinges, mate ... very commendable ... Cheers
  10. Your getting old mate ... you used to finish a model in that time frame ... I see you are back to your usual high standards ...
  11. You have to make one yerself ... just tie some knots and you'll manage fine ... if you can work with PE like you do, that basketball net will be a walk in the park
  12. A pitty you didn't get the lifecolor yet, is very nice to brush ... get your camera out mate ... waiting to see some picsies
  13. You could add those rudders they used on Viking Drakar Ships ... nice "authentic" touch ;)
  14. Wouldn't it be easier with the frame support still attached to finish the "ribbons", Dick
  15. I feel your pain at 1/200 ... you seem to cope well though, surprisingly well ... be glad Oliver doesn't twist an' spray ...
  16. that isn't necessary, it is the way it looks, which in the end will define if it looks correct or not, for would you see the difference with the naked eye between 0.82mm and 0.69mm diameter or 0.69mm and 0.57mm diameter (although you will probably see the difference between the extremes) in the end it is you whom decides 
  17. Be missing your updates ... have a safe, and relaxing trip with the missus. Enjoy your holiday!
  18. Those wenches turned out real nice. Why 'urry to take a picture ... you 'ardly sleep anyways ...
  19. Have a look at the guns on the HMS Victory (the life size one) and base your decision on that
  20. forgot about the pva trick, seen that somewhere, but can't remember where. worked out rather well mate. did you dilute it? going to do some interior lighting ...
  21. If you want to mask, you might want to try liquid mask. Could be a good solution for small items, or difficult parts to mask with tape. Just brush it up, you can combine it with masking tape too. It's often used with water colour painting. I've Vallejo, and Windsor & Newton. If you go that way, I presume you need to find out which brand has the right properties for you. Cheers
