  1. Hello Milo, Mahogany has indeed a nice color. I'm glad it fits well with your left over Sapele bits. And you are happy with it. That is the important thing. Good luck. Anja
  2. Hello Eddie, Found myself a seat in the front row. I'm looking forward to seeing your Elsie grow. Good luck and happy modelling. Anja

  4. Hello Bob, I have moved the topic for you. Just take your time and have a look at the links I posted for you. You will soon find your way around the forum. If you have any 'How to ...'

A question for you. I think your Niagara is from Model Shipways? If so, please let me know, so I can change the topic title accordingly. Good luck. Anja

  7. Adriaan, you are right. It is the Otapan. Your turn.
  8. Now you've made me spill my coffee.
  9. Hello David, Welcome back. You have been missed. Looking forward to your updates. Take care, Anja
  10. Thanks Adriaan! Here's mine. Good luck.
  11. Hello Augie, Very nice. But when you enlarge the picture ..... It looks even better. And so the hunt for the Arctic Grayling will begin.Have a safe trip and enjoy! See you next week! Take care, Anja
  12. Hello Adriaan, I have absolutely nothing to add to Robbyn's sound advise. Follow her advise and take a break. You feel much better afterwards. Take care, Anja
  13. Hello Christian, The blue stripes on the curved curved rails make it look better. It adds indeed a little detail. And I like the lamp. Take care, Anja
  14. Hello Milo, Antony (AntonyUK) posted a link for a UK outlet for timber: http://www.wood-database.com/lumber-identification/hardwoods/persimmon/ I understand you want to physically look at the woods to see the difference. But maybe these links will help. Keith (themadalchemist) posted a link to the Wood Database: http://www.wood-database.com/lumber-identification/hardwoods/persimmon/ Sapele: http://www.wood-database.com/lumber-identification/hardwoods/sapele/ African Mahagony: http://www.wood-database.com/lumber-identification/hardwoods/african-mahogany/ Honduran Mahogany: http://www.wood-database.com/lumber-identification/hardwoods/honduran-mahogany/ I have never worked with Sapele or Mahogany before. So I can't help you with your taper question. Maybe you can type in your question in the searchfield in the top right corner? I'm sure you fill find some answers. I hope this helps. Anja
  15. Hello Mario, Great, you are back! I hope you had a wonderful vacation. Wow, she looks great! You're doing an excellent job here my friend. I really love the color of the wood. What did you use for the finish? Take care, Anja
  16. Good morning dear, I wish you a day that's as special as you are. Anja
  17. Hello David, Congratulations on winning the Longboat. And good luck with your Bounty. Anja
  18. Hello Kevin, This was a very interesting to read. With all those studies going on and exploring all posibilities, I wander what will be decided in the end. Remove the wreck, do a controlled explosion as suggested or just remove the ammunition? Thanks, Anja
  19. Hello Nenad, I agree with Popeye, don't second guess yourself, trust yourself. You are doing great. Even if you are not seeing a positive result yet, it will come. Don't think you have made the wrong decision, instead know that things are working out good for you and that you are learning and growing. There may very well be things you will do differently the next time. Mistakes gives us an opportunity to fix all sorts of things we think we may have screwed up. We always make the best decision we have access to at the moment. And last but not least, go easy on yourself. Maybe it is not a good example, but in learning how to walk, you had to crawl first. Maybe you even wobbled your knees a few times. But eventually you found your stability. These are the lessons I have learned during my modeling. We have a Dutch saying: the grass is always greener on the other side. Take care, Anja
