  1. A great comparison Rob; clearly shows the different requirements met by the respective designers. Very nice models too! Odd sea pattern under them though - fan blade shaped waves Welcome back to the builders desk - I am still a week or two away while I finish all those house jobs. cheers Pat
  2. Nice work Steven, a very interesting and well executed build. I have enjoyed the journey. cheers Pat p.s. As much as I tried, I could not see Ron's telepromter!
  3. An interesting subject for your SIB Glen, and a very unique display base in the form of the sledge (very nicely executed BTW). I look forward to seeing your build at such a small scale. cheers Pat
  4. Sorry I don't have the expertise to participate but would be an interested 'looker on' Good luck with this endeavour; has the m akings for an excellent book! (hint) - it doesn't have to be commercial endeavour. cheers Pat
  5. Wow, wow and more wow! cheers Pat
  6. That's an interesting result; I have not had the need to use Steel for my calculations. Thanks for the head's-up on this. I think you are quite safe in your build decisions unless you run into a 'rivet counter' cheers Pat
  7. Very nice work on the rudder heads, races, funnels and steering wheel - some very well detailed fine work Brian - take a bow! Those desk tidies certainly help in organising the workspace. cheers Pat
  8. The skylight came up nicely Eberhard. I had to make similar sized but had mine fully etched in 0.1 mm brass which turned out OK; I am assuming you tried that without success? Wishing you all the best wishes for 2022 cheers Pat
  9. Back at you all - I hope all have a safe and very happy Christmas. cheers Pat
  10. Excellent paint job; love it! Nice addition to your collection Greg, adds perspective to the size of these air ships. Have a safe and happy festive season Pat
  11. A very Merry Christmas, and best wishes for a safe and happy festive season to you and your family also Bitao. Love watching your work. cheers Pat
  12. Is there any 'manufacturing' problem that has ever stumped you Keith? Ditto above comments - your ingenuity (and quality of work) never fails to amaze! cheers Pat
  13. Great progress Steven, the build is really coming to life now. cheers Pat
  14. Dave, Allan et al - not sure if you are aware of the 'The Sea Gunners Vade Mecum' by Robert Simmons (1812)? The following is from that reference and I think it is a downloadable pdf (digitised by Google). cheers Pat
  15. Hi Keith, yep. Basically it is a large clamp to hold several rows of pre-cut (sized appropriately) strip stock with sacrificial pieces on each end/side. Once set-up you can make several hundred at a go depending on how much drilling and milling you wish to do. cheers Pat
  16. Good idea Keith (Aug), can I extend an invitation for you to check my tutorial using your skills ? I only have a few hundred to do Good luck Keith (Black), they are fiddly things - I am in the process of developing a jig to mass produce them based on a system used by some Russian modellers that was posted in MSW Gen 1. cheers Pat
  17. Agreed re franchises, but they are now talking of further diversifying into larger shops selling electronics and electrical gear also. Please AP, just concentrate on getting deliveries right at a reasonable cost! Sorry to hijack your build, and I'll get off the soap box now cheers Pat
  18. Greg, HMAS Castlemaine (Bathurst Class) is just down the road from me if you need any visual 'clues' Aussie Post need to start concentrating on improving their core services (delivery times) instead of trying to further diversify - they simply cannot blame covid restrictions any more. cheers Pat
  19. The tops look great Rob, suits the overall mast colour scheme. cheers Pat
  20. Deviate away my friend; I am sure the majority of us find it as fascinating as your excellent building skills. cheers Pat
