good to see you back in the shop.....even a little is a lot I like the way the paint turned out.......I don't use my airbrush on everything either.......masking every time you turn around is a pain. the bulwarks will look real good when the deck is planked.

looks like your having fun....... this hobby is meant to be done slowly.......just do what you can, when you can. I've done a few old kits in my day.......my first one was 20 - 30 years old, when I got it. the wood was like sawing concrete...but I used it anyway. good to have you aboard.......check out some of the tutorials they have here, I believe you will find them useful. I'll be keen to follow along! -
good to hear Sjors..........your ticker is'a tocking.......your legs keep'a walking doing a scratch on that part sounds like a good idea...I'll look forward in seeing your refit!

simply amazing Daniel......you sir, have quite an imagination, to compliment your talent. I enjoy watching how you juggle the two
-
tin foil Sjors...........tin foil!.......or, you may have to go on the roof and reorient the antenna! LOL! I read the posts earlier, and decided to stay out of it. I love to talk as much as anyone.......what else is there to do between pictures. I too enjoy the company here. when MSW went down.......I was truly lost........not being able to sit down and visit with you all, was a real bummer. this is the #1 site that I belong to........you folks and your builds are the greatest. even stranger than that Daniel...........a clown doing a French ship........you would think that a mime would be doing one......but that would be a boring build log.......only pictures

awesome looking build Adrieke I want to do lighting on a future build......pretty sweet the way your doing it.
-
I try not to clutter too much...at least.....I hope I don't. your idea is an interesting one.......but the key here is......moderation

I started doing this hobby back in 2010............I just like to play
-
have a good time John..........and give a 'popeye' chuckle to the admiral for me!
-
you got that right........once the rigging begins to get thick, it's hard to see what's new.

just raise it up and add a bit of wood at the bottom..........blend, paint.......... rinse, repeat you must have taken it to work with you.........seems you hit a bump!
-
beautiful ship........not one you'd see every day.....which makes it even more special. wonderful workmanship!
-
have a look at Dafi's build of the Victory......in there {somewhere} he has a very detailed build session of the capstan. at the bottom, there is a ratchet and pawl set up, that will lock it into position and won't back off, should a rest be needed.
-
it's OK to say you like them Robbyn.......there is always something in particular that everyone likes in their builds. I do have to admit though.....it's quite a head turner........repetition ad nausium I look forward in seeing your redo.......I sympathize with your revelation, and I hope it goes well for you.
-
David......she looks fantastic! your rigging is so neatly done. so, does this mean that the Bounty is finished?.....if so, congrats! I couldn't help but notice........is that a piece of tape on the rudder?
-
if I didn't over do the initial build, there wouldn't have been a dual build. I hope the subject overrides the fact that it will be a multi build........Ijust hope it works as well in wood, as it does in my mind
-
nice job with the paint Sjors...she's looking real good. don't get any ideas that I called them..........perhaps they saw the poem I wrote.......
-
your not talking abouit my spitfire,,,,,,are you Augie? egads.... I feel like a freaking newbie again......I haven't messed with one of these for........it seems like ages! absolutely no comparison at all to your beauties
-
I am big on the suggestion of "the next one". I hardly ever change anything drastic........for fear that it might distort the wood or something. for first time modelers......I tend to suggest finishing the model the way it is. then, after doing a few more builds, look at the first one they did. this is a good barometer, for showing you, how much you have learned. this cut out the agravation for the modeler, and prevents wanting to give up. I do apologize, but I find it sad to see folks back tracking on their builds. since you have chosen to correct it........I hope your redo works well for you.
