  1. Guy, I use the upload functuon off MSW. It works just beautyful. Have a look at your last post. Perhaps you've uploaded the pictures twice? Your first keel section looks good. I would redo the false keel. It seems that you have damaged it during your modification.
  2. Congrats Rusty, your Confederacy is a very beautyful model.
  3. Wang, its a great pleasure to see the build of your beautyful model in time lapse.
  4. Guy, the layer method is definitly not faster than the work with a mill. You have to do the taper twice, first time for the middle layer and a second time for the other layers.
  5. There are two parts where a mill is very helpful, the lower apron and the after deadwood. You can do also both parts without a mill. Bob has shown a way to build these parts with 3 layers of timber. I tried his method for my Swan class build last year and it worked very well. Have a look at Modellmarine.de to get a first impression. If it's helpful I will translate the text. A mill is a good invest for a scratch build modeler because it makes life much easier but not really necessary. >ou can build models also without a mill.
  6. 6 pump tubes? Thanks for the hint. I've had a look in my drawings and seen that I've overseen two tubes until now.
  7. Daniel your chock is looking very nice. If you don't have a mill think of the solution I used for my HMS Fly. I made the first part of the keel and the lower stem from two parts which are half thick than the keel. So you can make the chock very accurate with less effort. Noone will see ths trick later. Be careful with positioning the lower stem. This is a very tricky part, to get the right anglebetween the keel and the stem.
  8. Aldo, welcome to this beautyful project. I'll follow your progress withe great interest.
  9. I would go with the pear wood. I personally don't like the darker points in beech
  10. Great progress. Your section looks absolut fantastic.
  11. Hohohoho ... oh damn it's not Christmas, but cold enough here. Nice little easter eggs
  12. What kind of timber do you use for the lower hull? Is it holly?
  13. I like the colors of your choosen timbers. Very nice planking job.
  14. The frameing looks really nice. I'll follow your log with great interest.
  15. No Greg, your's is a masterpiece. Every time I go in my shipyard I view the wonderful pictures of your model. That's right. And Remco shows all the steps he goes to realize this dream model.
  16. Welcome on board. I will follow your HMSTriton build with great interest.
  17. It's allways a pleasure and a time travel to visit your fantastic log. You can add the pictures to your log by clicking on the button with this name after uploading. The picture will than not shown at the end of your posting but at the current cursor position. So you can easily manipulate the picture order.
  18. Trussben, I drill the wholes for the treenails from both sides and only 1.5-2mm long with a hand drill. It works very well and you don't broke the drills.
  19. Wow, absolut fantastic. What software do you use for your virtual build? How do you made the step from the 2D drawings to the 3D model. Was it all done by the software?
  20. Mati, wow, what a fantastic build. I have the paper kit of shipyard also in my stock, but I like your idea to build it with wood in a much bigger scale.
