Eddie got a reaction from Rik Thistle in Stage Coach 1848 by Eddie - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:10 - WOOD
Hey howya goin all, I said this Quote back in post 14 just before I was about to throw them in the rubbish bin I decided to take one apart
I had to grid the end to beable to take the handle part off of the bar
and low and beholed my suspicion on how they made them I was right, the first bar is made from different type of metal but that doesn't matter what matters is that it is rounded on one side and does not grip the bar like it should be doing, the other two metal bars where made the right way with sharp edges
so I replace the first metal bar with the second metal bar and put it back together and now they work like the ment to do.
Why they where made like this is probably designed by someone who doesn't know how quick grip clamps work

Hey howya goin all, this is my first non ship build log. I've always wanted to build this long ago but forgot the company that made it then I forgot about it all together till not long ago I saw a pic of this in someone ship build log so I bought this the next day. Here is what is in the Kit.
Size: Lenght 410mm = 16-1/14"
Height 290mm = 11-13/32"
Breath 160mm = 6-310"
Scale 1:10 6/5"=1 Ft
Stagecoaches in the United States’ from 1716 onwards, used to cover the route from Boston to Rhode Island, although the design was not developed until the mid-18th century. The stagecoach as we know it today was developed much later. In 1820, its oval-shaped box, with a round roof, a door on each side and a seat outside for the coachman. Suspension was also added, reinforced by a triple spring. Some ten years later, an employer of “Concord Coaches”, namely J.S. Abbott and the company “Troy Coaches”, came up with almost identical modifications at the same time. They were virtually the only means of transport in existence for most of the populace when it coming to travelling across the country. But it was during the growth of the West when they really came into their own, long before the arrival of the railroad. Most of the stagecoaches in the West were under contract with the Government of the United States to carry the Mail and news of the new laws, but passengers would travel in other stagecoaches. The company “Wells Fargo” used many of these stagecoaches to carry not only passages, but also money, gold and silver. This type of stagecoach was to be produced and used in the United States up to 1910, and in the more outback regions, it was still being manufactured 10 years later.

Eddie got a reaction from KentM in Ragusian Carrack by Eddie - MarisStella - Scale 1:59 - POB
Hey howya goin all, I've started first by glueing up the keel parts and adding in the filler pieces and I've started cutting the filler block for the bow of the ships so the planking can follow a nice curve.
Iv'e cut away some of the material so there isn't much to sand to shape them when I glue them on.
I still haven't cut the rabbet yet been a bit lazy.

Hey howya goin all, this is my first build log of a ship but not my first ship that I've built.
Carrack probably took her name from Arabic word karraka, which means light boat (Carack, carraque, kraeck, Carraca). this is a big sailing ship in use from 14th to the 17th century, designed for transporting goods. Carrack appeared in Venice in the early 14th century, but almostat the same time began to be built in the city of Dubrovnik (Ragusa) as the largest cargo ships in the Adriatic. In the 15th century Carrack has spread from Adriatic, the Mediterranean Sea and at the end of the 15th century, the Atlantic Ocean. Then they were built by the Spanish, Portuguese, French abd Dutch. In the 16th century Durovnik's Carrrack were among the world's largest ships and sailed to England. the large and spacious Carrack is called argosies, mane that derives from ragusies, the adjective of Ragusa. How popular were the Carrack od Dubrovnik is the best proof that the English have created for them the literary expression the Argosy ship.
Here's a look at whats in the kit.
This is what the ship will look like when it is finished.
