Thanks ChrisLBren mate will do.   

Joseph thanks mate for the info.    

Hey howya goin all, I've been looking at the Carbatec 10" Bandsaw <--- Click Here, I have very little room for a bandsaw so I don't want to go any bigger if possible, does anyone have this or know if it's any good is there any problems with it no matter how small the problems is could you let me know thanks.    

Hey howya goin all, got a question about Planksheers/Sheer Strake on my Galley Washington the Planksheers/Sheer Strake is about 300mm (12") long look at pic, where would I put the joint I don't want to cut it out of one piece, also what type of joint would be used?  You can make a copy of this pic and draw on it roughly then reposts it if that will make it easyer for you. It doesn't have to be exact noone's going to see it but my mum and I.... Oh and some of you who look at the build log hahaha.  

Edited in, the model scale is 1:48

Hey howya goin Joseph mate, grats on getting the plans, the hull is about 510mm give or take a bit.    

Hey howya goin Danny, WOW, so thats what an Australia stagecoach looks like, I'm impressed, nicely done mate. Question those straps you got holding up the coach what would those be made of back in the day, leather?

I'm in as well. I have this monographie lying around as well.

Hey howya goin Chris mate, thanks, when are you going to start your?    

Hey howya goin Dgreen10 mate, it might help if you can take pics and post them here if you can.   

Hey howya goin all, I found this at Rockler <--- Click Here. Good for doing multiple steaming at a time, they even tell you how to make a steamimg box.  

PS - I have never tryed this on raw timber you may have to put down some sanding sealer first. Ever since Pledge stop selling this in Australia it's not cheap for us to get it from anywhere else in the world compared to normal bottle of hobby gloss vanishes.    

Hey howya goin Ulises Victoria mate, pledge floor care aka Future aka Klear the original one was and still is depending on where you get it in the world, used as a cheap alternative to those little hobby bottles of gloss varnish, for ship modelling say you paint your hull and want a gloss finish you could use pledge or anything else you want a gloss finish to, you can even get a dull finish with it by holding your air brush further away from you model when spraying it, practise this before you try it, if your ship has decals they should ALWAYS be put down on a gloss surface so to stop the from silvering you can do this by brushing on the area that the decals will go with pledge. Hope this helps mate.   

Hey howya goin Steve mate, wow shes looking great mate well done. Are you going to put her in a display case or show her open on the shelf, something that good I would put her in a case.

one thing I did notice was the zap nozzles

Hey howya goin Steve mate, thanks for stopping in and following mate. I only use the nozzles for running long lenths of very thin glue on thin strips and I use an upturned small paint bottle with a little ripped piece of foil on it when I'm using PE and just throw away the piece of foil away when it gets to much dryed glue on it

Hey howya goin all, just a quick update, heres a funny thing, after I cut the strips for going around the trunk I stained them to make them stand out more from the rest of the trunk the thing is the trunk is made from Walnut, the strips are made from Walnut, I stained the stips....

Here I've restain them with black stain and have started to stick the to the trunk.
