Kurt Johnson got a reaction from Haliburton in Live steam Bagnall loco and other railway stuff by michael mott
You are the consummate master craftsmen. I can’t decide which I enjoy more, your models or the tools you create to make them with. I guess there’s no reason to choose is there? Just to enjoy it all. Thanks Michael.

Kurt Johnson got a reaction from Obormotov in MONTAÑES by Amalio
Amalio,
Your work is impeccable.
What a fantastic idea, attaching sandpaper to palette knives. I would have never have thought of it, but I can see how useful a tool it would be. Simple, elegant and now that I’ve seen it so obvious. Are you hiding any other gems you’ve come up with?

Kurt Johnson got a reaction from Canute in Small but handy hammer
That’s just about the right size to hit myself in the head when I make one of my cement head mistakes. You know, just to get a refocus, like a reset button.

Kurt Johnson got a reaction from Blue Ensign in HM Cutter Alert by Blue Ensign - FINISHED - Vanguard Models - 1:64 scale
Thanks? I agree with your feelings about using blue. I never though the freize work was on many longboats and small craft, except in paintings or a royal bardge. Can you imagine the upkeep? Sailors where nothing but practical at least as far as work goes and maybe even some junior officers could be at times.

BE,
Coming along nicely. When you say you intend to scribe the hook and butt scarfs on the main wale. Are you going to scribe them off of the model before the second layer of the wale is attached?

Kurt Johnson got a reaction from JpR62 in HM Cutter Cheerful 1806 by svein erik - 1:48 scale
Svein Erik,
Your Cheerful is coming along fine. It is a blessing to have Chuck’s advice as you build your model. That is a true rarity, and a surety that you will have the best possible outcome. VERY few companies would offer that kind of support! It’s nice too, that it makes it so much more of a personal experience, your not just another
number, but a fellow ship modeler.

Chuck has shown me some nice results using fishing line. Very subtle, compared to wax, wood filler or actual treenails where the end grain appears too dark. I’m going to have to experiment. They’re always perfectly round with no bleed out around the edges. That’s a long way off though.

Is the Admiralty plan of the Alert or the Rattlesnake?
I trust you and I, but some of those others........
