  1. Whew! A lengthy procedure rather, I suspect. like walking a high wire. Glad you didn't fall off! Terrific result.
  2. How much planking are you planning to add, Kevin?
  3. Very nice! Are you going to put lighting inside so that the interior can be seen?
  4. I agree with Roger; real gilding appears too garish at scale sizes (at least, to my eye and taste).
  5. Oh, my! There seem to be a lot of MSW modelers' work falling off workbenches lately. There must a disturbance in the Force.... Great recovery, Daniel.
  6. Looks like you did an excellent job of shaping the water closets, Bob. Well done!
  7. Bitt pins that pass through more than one deck will vary in length to fit your particular model. Unless you can build with micrometer precision, every model will vary slightly from the ideal.
  8. That looks good. You may wish to consider the grain of the wood you plan to use: it is weak across the grain and liable to break. Ideally the frames should be of more than one piece with the grain oriented for strength.
  9. If it's any consolation, your first model is bound to include many 'oopsies',. That is part of the learning process, as is correcting those oopsies. As mentioned, you can always ask for replacement parts. Also, consider using clips and elastic bands rather than using fingers to hold things while they glue.
  10. If their usage has been somewhat superseded by others, they are the inspiration for those that have come since, myself included.
  11. Personally, I prefer to err on the side of safety. But to each his own.
  12. Acetone has a bad reputation for one's health, does it not?
  13. Clever tip, using masking tape to align the pairs! Thanks - I shall remember that one, Keith.
  14. Whoever might be interested: there are many, many large sheets of plans in meticulous detail. Get them while you can! It's very generous to offer these for the cost of postage only, Bruce.
