    Looks like you are having some 'fun' with this one Greg; perseverance will get you there cheers Pat
  2. BANYAN
    Daydream all you like Denis; that looks a pretty good fit for your needs. cheers Pat
  3. BANYAN
    Those figurines are very well done Dan; very realistic postures and well detailed. cheers Pat
  4. BANYAN
    Denis, if you are going to soak it try adding as little fabric conditioner; that may help if you are looking for a softer finish cheers Pat

    and.... HMS Nelson (1814) which was subsequently transferred to the Colony of Victoria. cheers Pat

    Another example of top-quality tradecraft - that yard looks great Ed. I had been wondering how you cleaned the copper prior to the blackening agent - thanks again for the info. cheers Pat

    Looking good Denis; a busy workmanlike trawler! cheers Pat

    Interesting vessel Tecko. For my couple of bob's worth and only an observation not a critique, the vessel design looks fit for purpose, but the bridge looks slightly oversized/out of proportion. With the bridge hanging out over the sides it would be a hell of a vessel to berth safely due to clearance with pierside obstructions etc. That said, it is an interpretative display/diorama you are doing so only the 'rivet counter' critics should get upset Nice work as usual. cheers Pat

    Great to see you back at the model workbench Michael. A masterful repair to the ladder and other bits; the customer will be very happy with the level and quality of your restoration. cheers Pat p.s some further ideas for clamps for the third hand

    That was disappointing Greg; the Pontos stuff is usually pretty decent isn't it? Good luck with the fix cheers Pat

    Very nice and accurate work (as usual) Gaetan; that hull is looking very good. cheers Pat
  12. BANYAN
    Looks sharp Russ; nice work! cheers Pat
  13. BANYAN
    Good progress Mark; some real teeth showing now cheers Pat
  14. BANYAN
    That looks really good mate; excellent job on the smaller details - looks very 'authentic'. cheers Pat

    Very nice paint finish so far Russ, you must have prepared that hull very nicely to achieve it. I can also recommend the frogtape, but I have also had good results with Tamiya tape. cheers Pat

    Hi, Druxey has steered you in the right direction. If the plans are just an upperdeck / general arrangement drawing, and the usual side profile etc I am not surprised the 'cable lockers' (cable storage compartments/wells) are not shown. These were well down in the ship as they were long and heavy 'beasts', and usually located either side of and as close to the centreline as possible, to assist in vessel stability. Generally, the heavier main cables were the most inboard, then the cablets/spares etc further away from the centreline. All were usually accessed through the same access port or 'naval pipes' on the weather deck. cheers Pat

    She's a wonderful looking model Denis; great job on the detailing. cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    That's a lot of PE and superdetailing Greg; should look good all painted up. Are you using an etchent or product to provide a key for the primer on the PE or do you just shoot the primer on? cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Nice scratch building Tecko; will there be a replacement squid buoy on the vessel ready to go into the water? cheers Pat

    Thanks for the additional comments and feedback. The printing thing is a little out of my 'playpen' so will leave my mate to sort that Thanks to Ed Tosti who provided me with some great info offline WRT to the paint. I am using a water based paint but it appears it is not an acrylic afterall and the the type of paint does create the issues I am experiencing. For information, I was using an Australian paint manufactured by a company called by DNA - 'Trident' brand. It is a good airbrushable paint but be aware it has this bleed issue and dries superfast when brushing. lesson learned. I need to experiment with some other airbrush paints to see what works well on wood. cheers Pat

    Interesting comments Eberhard. My friend was saying something very similar where he is thinking along the line of printing the items on a different axis to overcome some of those 'stepping' issues. Thanks for looking in cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Very nice work Dave, the skylight looks great. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    That looks incredible Ed, the level of detail you achieve at this scale is inspiring. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Very nicely finished Rob; make sure it takes 'pride of place' wherever you select to hang it. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Hi Dave, thanks for that info - if I can eliminate the rippled effect , this would be perfect. cheers Pat
