I imagine one can do pretty well with a Dremel and the flexible extension. It would be the "poor man's" version... but the carving technique would be the same. Andy -
Yay! Pictures... and lots of odd fiddly bits... even better I bet the anchors might be stowed below... so they don't get lost Radar domes are more like oversized cakes, rather than mushrooms... that's typically for communications (sat phones and whatnot...) GPS antennae are quite small and then can be mushroom shaped.. or sometimes like a popsicle... Andy

Don't tell me I broke the game? (again......)

I think you'll do well with the Syren. You've done a great job for a first build on the SF. Just imagine how much better you'll be when you've got two under your belt. Then you could really go to town on something like the RW or Mordaunt. As many people have noticed, there's a lot of room to upgrade Euromodels kits with scratch build extras. Maybe you'll pull a "Bill Short" and re-carve all the decorations Andy

Just be happy he's not doing to your teeth what he's doing to the boxwood... Bill, as others have said, simply amazing. I'm very glad you're taking the time to repost your log. I can't remember where you had left off before "The Big One" so some of this seems new to me.. Andy

She looks really sweet Peter, I've always liked the flat-bottom boats. And your colour scheme is great! Andy
-
There's a whole other ship in the background.... you can ignore that one Andy
-
I dunno there has to be some sort of co-relative algorithm that links time vs knots and probability, keep in mind.. he's got another monster waiting, so the likelyhood of an episode will increase with every knot tied, length of time it takes to tie one knot, number of shrouds, the number of knots that come undone...... and... oh I just gave myself a headache... Anyway.. Mobbise you better be ready to take in refugees.. there might be a lot of them... Andy
-
Yeah.. I forgot... you sub jockeys see the world as one big shooting gallery.... Andy

I think we need to start a countdown clock here... Estimate the time to remaining before Sjors gets totally driven nuts by ratlines... although at the moment he seems to be evading the task at hand ANdy
-
That's just it.. they all look the same... its like putting up a picture of a black car and asking who owns it... Unless it did something drastically famous... (why I guessed Conqueror..) SO do I get to post half a ship now? Andy
-
OK... I'm gonna start guessing.. HMS Conqueror?
-
Check with Mobbsie, he was in contact with them, but I wouldn't hold your breath for good news... :mellow: Andy
-
I dunno... looks like it could be a Trafalgar class sub.... they all look black and sausage-like to me... Andy
-
Well the ship is the RFA Diligence... The Sub... *Shrug* Andy
-
The $6 man? Nice yards BTW.. I wonder how many it will take to drive you-know-who wacky? He's got alot to make... and a lot of ratlines before that... hmm... Someone over there better offer Anja safe haven in case things get... weird... Andy

You can just keep your nearly disembodied digits to yourself, I'll keep my spider fingers safe with me thank you I would suggest maybe getting your "assistant" to duct-tape any tool you're having trouble with, to your hand. (I'm thinking the handle of your exacto knife in particular) And speaking of next builds.. have you narrowed down your choices? Or are we all making things harder? Andy
-
So, this is now, what, the meeting of not so anonymous attempted amputees? I'll be sure to read this log after I've had my lunch.... my fingers hurt just looking.... ow... Nice work on the ports Robbyn, and congrats on nearly reaching the end of hull construction! Andy
-
Maybe try making one with the slats transverse and the other longitudinal... just in case, you sometimes it helps to really see the merits of each on the model.. besides, you can always re-use the one not chosen on another build.. Andy
-
It's not hard, just critical that you get the gunports lined up right. You can't rush that step. Keep in mind too, that these types of kits assume you have some knowledge of model ship buildings. If you want the clearest step by step instructions, then have a look at Model Expo's stuff,especially Chuck's Syren. Andy

There ya go... join me in my frigid misery! Of course.. you get an excuse to stay indoors and work on your ship... hrmm... maybe I should rethink this.... Andy

I liked the curved ones myself. Nice flowing slats. Obviously your stern is quite square.. maybe just round the corners. Andy
