  1. Aaaand... you leaped on that challenge really promptly! Glad to see the cutter once again making headway. Well done, Michael.
  2. That's a sledge hammer for a finishing nail! Try watchmakers' slotting files and escapement files by hand for the best results when forming scratch molding tools.
  3. Syren Ship Model Company immediately springs to mind. https://syrenshipmodelcompany.com/
  4. A suggested upgrade for the rope you need would be from the Syren Ship Model Company. Line about .035" or .045" in tan would be about right. See: https://syrenshipmodelcompany.com/miniature-rope.php
  5. Well done, Dafi; especially showing the correct way to man the capstan!
  6. That is exemplary work. Even scale rose lashings - now that is classy!
  7. It was this model, with a flex-shaft takeoff at the side. A real beater! But, back to the subject. Philip Reed's books are excellent tutorials for making exquisite miniature models.
  8. Steaming right along there, Nils.... Not much space to turn her around in, though! Anything much larger would have to be a half-model.
  9. Nice beginning. I smiled when you showed your Dremel scroll saw. My first power tool back in about 1969 was an early Dremel. While it did the job, it vibrated so much that my fingers tingled for 20 minutes after each frame cutting session! Hopefully the modern version has improved.
  10. Just catching up with your (mis)adventures, Dafi! Some woking things do not scale well, unfortunately. Valiant effort, though.
  11. That is annoying! I hope that you can easily extract the 'keys' to replace them.
  12. Not Sim Comfort's error: the pages are facsimile from Steel himself!
  13. Yes, there are a few typographical errors in Steel's tables. I'm amazed that, in so many pages, there are so few! As with the above example, it's usually easy to figure out the correct values from the neighboring tables of scantlings.
  14. I love the point where the rails go on and the model starts to take on a finished look! Lovely work, as ever.
