  1. Thanks for the feedback Rob. I am with you there; now prefer unusual subjects also. cheers Pat
  2. May be slow progress Dave, but she is looking great. Those rope ends look all nice and ship-shape! I made life a little easier with my display base by using two thinner pieces of wood with the first (lower) being the larger (overall) size, then placing a second cut to the inner dimensions of the acrylic on top. No need for slots etc cheers Pat
  3. Nice work Rob. Were the red handles just make them stand out or was that the acual colour (from research)? cheers Pat
  4. Great ideas and technique Michael, the support for the saw blade is one that I will definitely file away. cheers Pat
  5. Nice work Greg. Those cranes may be just what I am looking for also Are they part of the kit PE or aftermarket? cheers Pat
  6. Happy New Year t you too mate. Very (VERY) nice work on those channels, brackets and guns Jason. Those are very neatly executed brackets and look just right. cheers Pat
  7. Oh you do love a challenge Greg, that PE looks more than a little difficult! Good luck The paint effect is very good and representative of a well worn 'work horse' of the fleet. cheers Pat
  8. Sitting at the back has its advantages mate; I can heckle and throw things further than you could throw them back and up Look forward to seeing your efforts on this build also. cheers Pat
  9. Taking a back row seat to see what you do with this one Carl, looks like you have taken a liking to RCN ships? cheers Pat
  10. Hi Gerald, a happy New Year to you and your family. Thanks for the pointer to your website. As has been commented but much more experienced modellers, I also find your work inspirational. Whenever I run into a metalsmithing 'roadblock' I always return to your work and see what is achievable - that usually gets me motivated, not that I am anywhere near your skill level. cheers Pat
  11. Welcome back to the 'fray' agan Mark; have missed your updates. I like that building jig; and, BTW, you make me extremely jealous with the flexibility/capability that 'death star' provides for you happy New Year! cheers Pat
  12. Fantastic job Rod; she came up a real 'treat' for the eyes and is a compliment to your efforts in building her. I really like that lantern, had not noticed it before. Happy New Year mate, cheers Pat
  13. Clever adaption; look forward to seeing some of the resulting work. cheers Pat
  14. That framing looks good Ben, glad to see you making such good progress. cheers Pat
  15. Stunning model; thanks for the update shots John. You guys can be justifiably proud of your efforts on this model. cheers Pat
  16. They have come out very nicely Steven; your persistence has paid dividends. Every sub/mini-project is a learning process; the next batch should be faultless masterpieces then cheers Pat
  17. Thanks Denis; a great christmas thanks mate. Wishing you and the family a happy and safe new year. cheers Pat
  18. I have used a spray-on (pressure pak) 'temporary' fix glue from 3M and another company in the past with some success - can't remember the brand name of the other but available in art supply stores. Only issue was that sometimes the edge of the paper would lift when cutting on the saw (especially with the scroll saw) which I think was due to the offset teeth of the blades I was using. cheers Pat
  19. Thanks all for the likes and comments; much appreciated. I hope all had a very happy Christmas, and wishing you all the best in health, happiness and prosperity for 2019. cheers Pat
  20. Hi Ilhan, As John has suggested, some steering control rods were above deck. The attached photo shows control chains but the principle is the same. I have seen, but do not have a photo, where these chains ran inside an inverted 'U' style protective cover bolted to the deck (not flush) also. I hope this helps? cheers Pat
