  2. ronald305

  3. ronald305
    how do I find his store are you talking about a drill bit or a special knife
  4. ronald305
    ok thanks
  5. ronald305
    great idea pm using a forstner drill bit for your gun ports may I ask what size bit you used to drill for the gun port holes I need one that is under 12mm
  6. ronald305
    yes I saw the post and it is a good idea if I can find that bit I will try it, but I also drill a few small holes under the main dimensions as well thank you Ronald

    Hello there I am in the process of cutting out the second level of gun ports on my model space Victory and found that the x-actor blades are not cutting to good even being new the instruction say to cut diagonally to the center hole and dig out the rest and to leave enough wood to sand to the right dimensions which would be 12mm X12mm, but it is taking way to long my question is there any super sharp blades that would cut thought balsa or what ever the planks are made of to fit a #11 handle will scalpel blades work better I know they are extremely sharp any suggestions would be fine thank you Ronald

    I like the steamer you have there may I ask where you brought it, for now all I have to bend planks ard a bending iron and a crumper the head of the iron is too big for the type of turn I need to do for the stern hopefully the instruction will explain how to get the tight turn for linking the stern when reach that part of the build Ronald
  11. ronald305
    Thanks Tim Will try it when get to that part of the build Ronald
  12. ronald305
    I understand you moved my post to a appropriate area but may I ask where did you move it to and has any one replied to it because I can not find it now thank you Ronald

    Hello there I am working the model space Victory and would like to know how to make the sharp bend in the planks for the stern area of the ship for the bottom when I reach that part of the instructions and most certain that the instructions will not explain how to do it, the video does show a little of how it is done but not very understandable so that is why I am here any suggestions would be most appreciated thank you Ronald

    HI Mike great job on your completed victory may I ask when you was cutting out the entry ways where the dimensions 12mm width wise like the gun ports I want to make sure before I get to that part of the build I'm doing the model space kit version but based on the AL kit like yours Ronald
  15. ronald305
    it not really about the kit it self but the actual the accuracy of the real thing it doesn't matter who's kit it is even Gill Victory the entry door looks smaller then the gun ports but any way I ask Kevin Ronald
  16. ronald305

    Hey Gill 

         I have another question would you know if the door entry on the model is a tad smaller then the 

     gun ports width wise, reason I ask is in the instructions on my Victory kit which is a model space 

     parts build kit the entry way width wise is the same width as a gun port that can't right  what you  think even if yours and mind are different scale the accuracy would be wrong, I getting close to that part of the build is why I'm asking now 

  17. ronald305
    HI Jerry great job you are doing on your victory I have a confusing question what is the accurate door entry to a gun port now I know your victory is much bigger then mine I'm dong the model space Victory I'm taking that into account, reason I'm asking is I notice the door entry is smaller then the gun ports what are the dimensions of the gun ports on your model mine is 12mm but the confusing is in the instructions for my model the door is 12mm wide just like the gun ports should the entry be a tad smaller thank you Ronald
  18. ronald305
    Hey Tom I have another question for you on page 27 I could not make out the cannons on the top deck what kind of cannons are they that hardly have any wheels if they do have wheels I can hardly see them the lower deck have cannons with wheels how come the top ones have funny carriages thank you Ronald
  19. ronald305
    Thanks Tom for the info and a good idea, it figures that they stop a good thing like selling sets of certion thing
  20. ronald305
    hello there was wondering why no one can answer this question I asked on July 14 who makes the best USS Constitution kit thank you Ronald
  21. ronald305
    Hi tom I just caught your build log of the Connie you are doing a great job on her may I ask you why you purchased more cannons didn't the kit come with canons thank you Ronald
  22. ronald305
    too bad it would have been a nice feature Ronald
  23. ronald305
    HI Gil I know the Victory has been finished for some time but would like know how did you figure out the height for the dowels for making the jig in order to hold the victory up side down for planking and plating the bottom I want to do that for the Victory I'm doing do they have to be a little bit longer so the ship sits on the support base like in the photos Ronald
  24. ronald305
    he's right there isn't any
  25. ronald305
    Hello there I see that you are also building the model space Victory so may I ask you question since Alan from the model space takes a while to reply back, when you got to planks 8 &9 after finishing plank 7 did you notice as I did that they do not mention anything about not tapering plank 8 they only say you do not need to taper plank 9 my question to you is did you taper plank 8 or not even the video left it out as well it only mention plank 9 not having to taper also would like ask you how when you was planking the bottom how did you go about making the tight bend in the stern area with out breaking the planks thank you Ronald
