  1. I have used those small brushes designed to clean suede shoes (aka Hush Puppies) with some success. The finer wire bristles fit better than the coarse bristles in typical wire brushes. For the more stubborn areas I use an old scalpel/X-Acto blade and scrape out each individual 'row' between the cutting ridges with the tip of the blade. It is somewhat time consuming, but once you get a feel, it is surprising how fast you can clean the file. cheers Pat
  2. Simply stunning detail and workmanship Keith - your skills have excelled in this delightful model. It has been an absolute pleasure following this build. cheers Pat

  5. That'll make a very exciting activity for the lucky recipient - what a great Christmas gift for your granddaughter - Captain Bean will have lot of fun and many fond memories Love her face in the porthole. cheers Pat
  6. Hi Keith, as expressed by Druxey I also have run out of superlatives for your build. The enjoyment I have gained from following along cannot be adequately described. Thankyou for sharing. Tom, a great photo - you almost have a full crew there . Grandkids are what it is all about at this stage of my life - the enjoyment I get in their company is a wonderful pick-me-up. cheers Pat
  7. Hi Vlad, again an interesting update to your build. She is coming along very nicely, and I think you undersell your skills a little. It is great to see your positive attitude to the constructive criticism and suggestions offered; it makes such a refreshing approach compared with many who see such as an attack on their character/abilities. cheers Pat
  8. Brian, I have thoroughly enjoyed following your build and I am now a little disappointed that it is finally complete, and I won't have something new to see what you have achieved. What a splendid display of skills in building this, and the effort is well rewarded with the magnificent model you have to show for it. cheers Pat
  9. What a terrific achievement Glen, she looks great in her 'glass' home. This has been another fascinating build to follow, and you have set your 'benchmark' very high for the follow-on build cheers Pat
  10. When you trailblaze you have to expect such dilemmas Glen; it is how you overcome that matters and you have done a great job. cheers Pat
  11. Nice work Wonko, a lovely example of miniature working engineering. Look forward to seeing more. cheers Pat
  12. Working for me also Shipman and Kevin. Many thanks Kevin some great detail photos there that will be useful for my research also. cheers Pat
  13. Rob, what a great artifact to have, and very nicely presented after your efforts with the shadow box. cheers Pat
  14. Love the time and effort you are putting into the oarsmen and their bench seats etc Richard; it will make for very realistic detail on the model. cheers Pat
