Hi Peter, looks good so far. May I ask why you not tokk the parts out of the cast / sprue? In the past as I was doing plastic models (most likely space ships) I always cut the parts out of the cast, trimming them and painted (sprayed with an airbrush gun) the parts. I think it´s easier than fixing the cuts / trimmings after the parts are painted. But that is just my humble opinion. Would be interesting to read other opinions about it. Micha -

* Chapter Four * The Orgy of Super Glue or How to do the Port Side and then start with Starboard Side Hello my fellow model builder, here we have now finished one side (I think it should be port). I started now with the second side (should be therefore starboard) I hope since I’m not yet sure where the bow and where the stern is (have to check the instructions again) but I’m certain that I’m correct with my sides. Here some closer looks to the planking (stern)… Center part of the hull… and the bow… Much closer look to the bow and how the planks came together. Also a look inside the ship from stern… to the Center of the ship (mast support)… to the bow… Unfortunately do my planks not end up equally so I have to sand it nicely up. Also some of the planks are warping badly and the glue seems not to do a proper job… Starting in starboard with the planking… trying to align them properly with the mirrored plank (part 11) on the port side.

I gave up on VPN since Disney+ stopped ESPN and took away the NCAA football games of me. Can´t see the point in paying for a service I don´t need or not use anymore. I was using Cyberghost for more than 6 yrs, to watch the NCAA football games of my favorite team. Unfortunately Disney (owner of ESPN) stopped the service last year here in Europe. Therefore I can´t watch any games since then, so there was no need for me anymore to use a VPN host since I don´t use streaming services and especially not foreign streaming services. Micha

Thank you for the additional information. Will wait till the book arrives. Maybe I can contact the author and he is even willing to share information that is not written in the book or has plans to share. Micha

Hello Harvey, thank you for your suggestion, that´s exactly the only book I could find. I ordered one (just don´t know how long it will take to be delivered to Europe) but what I read about it, it doesn´t quiet give me the plans of the boats / ships. It more describes how the boats where made. I will give it a go, but I look more for books or plans that I could utilise to create a scratch build for one of those boats / ships. Micha

The size of the picture was 20kb so not the biggest size at all. All pages took ages (roughly 40-55 seconds). The picture in my LOG was 2.1mb. So different sizes and that`s why I checked with iPad and laptop, both didn´t work. I also checked three browsers now, Safari (iPad and iMac) and Firefox and MS Edge, all with the same results. My broadband speed as well has been checked with the network provider app and my physical tester (I`m a Service Delivery Engineer for the national telecommunications provider). There was no fault found. Line tested ok, broadband speed is ok and within parameters. So I don´t know, maybe it´s the connection between the countries (don´t know where the server is located that hosts the forum software). But I checked it again, at least the response time of the forum is back to normal. Don´t know yet about the picture upload. Upload also works now again. Above you can see the error code (server error: -200). Micha

Hi everyone, I tried a couple of times today to upload pictures to my LOG, every try just failed with an error code 200. I tried it from my iPad and from my computer (laptop). Every single try just failed. Is it just me or is there a known issue with the forum at the moment? Also seems the forum / homepage very slow, responding to commands (like opening a thread or editing) is very slow and takes a long time to respond, twice I got timed out already. Micha

Are you an NRG Member???
Scottish Guy replied to Chuck's topic in How to use the MSW forum - **NO MODELING CONTENT**
I noticed that ^^ and I see that there are always around 180-200 people are online, but when you check the names that post, reply or like posts, I always see the same names 😂 that’s why I said there are not many on here. The others are sneaky readers hehe 😛… I’m fine with that, I noticed that there are some folks here I really start to like, waiting for their answers and looking forward to their posts, even about ships that are not on my radar because of the time, type or just not my style of boat / ship but I like reading your guys content, ideas or advises and soaking in your experience and knowledge (which will help for my own models and builds as well)… so, thank you folks for that Micha -
* Sideline * The 1:20 Skuldelev or How I would have guessed the proper Way to do it Today I got the Billing Boats kit No. 456 called “The Skukdelev Ships” in the scale 1:20. I can’t find when this was launched or distributed but it seems quite a long time ago. The set seems complete (when I check the content of the box with the manual. The approach to build it is complete different to the one from the Roar Ege (but most like my approach of the Riar Ege 😂). However, I paid GBP 30.00 for the set since the seller couldn’t get rid of the set and just wanted it off the shelf. So I took it. I won’t build the kit before the Roar Ege is finished and maybe hit even before murph scratch build is finished. But yeah, a nice kit to have on my shelf now. Looking forward to it. Micha

I´m wondering if someone knows about some books or plans of japanese ships of the Azushi-Momoyama period (which was between 1568 to 1603) and the early Edo period (1603-1700). Unfortunately during the Edo period Japan started to isolate themselves again so there might not be much (at least not in a foreign language but Japanese - which I can´t read). I´m mostly interested in fishing and merchant vessel and galleys but also in traditional Japanese sail boats. From the Edo period I know that the English and Portuguese took influence on Japanese boat / ship building. That´s why I´m more interested in the traditional Japanese boats and ships. I can´t find much about those, only some vague plans and one book (about model building but not about historical backgrounds or traditional boat / ship building). Micha

Garage workshop
Scottish Guy replied to Frank Burroughs's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I definitely wouldn´t store finished models in the cold garage. I would keep them in a dry and temperated area. Not heated but temperated above zero. Like I stated before, I would keep wood anyways in a temperated space, not heated maybe but like I said, above zero at least so they don´t get moistured by the damp and steam. Micha -
Thank you Paul, will give it a go later today. I hope they don´t have their own mind - I would hate that, but yeah, will check it out and maybe attach the bigger ones like 7A / 7F and 5A / 5F. Might give the planking even a bit more stability, it´s a bit wobly between the molds. Micha
