Simply stunning work Doris; I especially like the glasswork in the lanterns and stern windows - very lifelike looking effect. regards Pat- 1,035 replies

If not too late Steven, you can buy small amounts at Bunnings, I have a 1 litre can but I think you can get even smaller. cheers Pat

Nice work Steven, pity you have to remove some parts. Nail polish remover is just acetone which you can get at Bunnings fairly cheaply (may save you some grief 'borrowing' it from your regular supplier Not sure if IsoPropyl would be better but I think the latter is for PVA/Yellow glue not superglue/CA softening/removal. cheers Pat

I am anxiously awaiting my copy to arrive Ed; I am really looking to this as a Christmas treat but may have to wait for the new year with the slow shipping. Whatever you choose I am sure it will be a masterpiece cheers Pat

Great to hear that it is not dust related news Mark, and hope you get over the cold soon. With balsa I have has some good results with a 'sureforn' which you can get in various shapes and 'grits' (or number of teeth) - the finer ones, while still technically a rasp, the finer ones are much less rough on the wood. I took the 'blade' out of handle and fitted it to a former (hardwood) to do the various shapes. cheers Pat

HMCSS Victoria 1855 by BANYAN - 1:72
BANYAN replied to BANYAN's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
Hi Rob, not too far off. I have been sidetracked with a lot of research on the rigging, getting the "honey please do and Christmas to do lists done and... You get the idea I think too many things to do and not enough hours. I am currently working on completing the broadside guns. Thanks for looking in. cheers Pat- 1,000 replies

Thanks for the feedback Keith, I had been wondering why the gratings were there also, probably serving more as 'duckboards'? I have decided, based on costs and type of type of work I need to do in the future, to purchase a few more Sherline WW collets (to widen my range of collets) rather than go the ER32 route. Anything greater than 8mm can be chucked, and taking your advice I will invest in a better dial indicator for centring in my 3 and 4 jaw chucks. It was a close run thing between purchasing the additional (I think much overpriced Sherline WW collets) and buying a new ER32 Chuck and full set of collets - time will tell I followed your technique with making the eyebolts with great interest and have tucked that aside for future use . I am busy finishing the broadside guns etc at the moment and will post an update soon. cheers Pat

An interesting problem (WRT the gratings) Keith; I'm sure no one is going to mic the 'openings' and who is to say they were made exactly to size anyway? Are these built in gratings or lift-out panels made the traditional way? At first glance I thought the cap rail formed part of the platform structure but I then noticed the photos shows they are under the rail hence having to do them first. regards Pat

Nice 'toy' and very acceptable results Eberhard. Quite an interesting concept for producing very small wood partss. cheers Pat

Two good news stories. Is that 'tin' still intact after all that kikin' cheers Pat

Very nice detail in the painting Steven, if it holds up that well under macro/close photography then it would great to the naked eye. cheers Pat
-
Tedious but will pay dividends to the final look Ben - nice work on the planking. cheers Pat

They must have carried a lot of 'Brasso' on board Very nice work Keith, those strut supports look very good, as does the masses of other metalwork you're creating. cheers Pat
