Patrick, sorry for the late response, just saw this. I’ll check and see if I still have the docs, I normally keep them but it’s been several years- will let you know. Don

Looking good! I really like what you did with the cabin doors! Don

Byrnes Table Saw on Ebay UK
Nunnehi (Don) replied to No Idea's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Just noticed that the link to Byrnes has been removed - perhaps it’s getting an update? -
Thanks, Bob!

You’re most welcome, Patrick. If you want, I will send you the fuselage that I didn’t use, just send me a pm with your contact and I’ll get it on the way. It’s partially painted but can be cleaned up. Don

Patrick, your planking looks great and I’m following your build with interest. One suggestion, I think that there was a passageway between the fore and aft main cabins that is closed if you follow the instructions, which is what I did. I think one of the other builds on here shows it opened up that may be more accurate. Don

Patrick, Thanks for the kind words, it’s really appreciated! It’s a 1:48 OH13 Sioux made by Italeri and is available from Squadron models online, Squadron.com, and I’m sure other vendors. There are a couple of problems, it’s not historically accurate for the Calypso, and it’s slightly out of scale. I modified it to use the floats that came with the Billings kit. If you can live with the problems, it’s a nice addition. thanks again, Don

The Billing Calypso is a really fun build but is somewhat crude by today’s standards - lots of room scratch details. For reference, there are several completed builds on this site (use the search function at the top of the home page) and I look forward to watching your progress. Don

Beautifully done, Ben, I’ve really enjoyed following your build! Don

Hank, FYI, there’s a new Arleigh Burke out from ILoveKits (Trumpeter?) in a 1:200 scale that’s available from Squadron - the reviews I’ve seen are good and I’ve got one on order. The scale is large enough to allow much easier detailing than the others scaled at 1:350, although the case would have to be larger. I have a Byrne’s saw and couldn’t live without it, I really hope that they can continue. Back in the summer, they closed their site to orders for everything except their new disk sander, so I ordered one and it was delivered the same week Jim passed. It’s a real jewel! Jim’s tools are works of art - he will be missed. Don

Tim, Thanks, I hope you get your communications issues resolved - I am a little over 500 miles from St Louis and will make a special trip there just to see it in person. Don

Glenn, I know I’ve said it before, but that’s some beautiful work! Don

This is simply stunning work- thanks for sharing! Are there plans for public display? Don

Glen, Your work is just beautiful, well done! Your trip to Africa also looks like a lot of fun. Visiting Africa was never on my bucket list, but my Son and his Wife spent several years in Zambia with the Peace Corps, so naturally, we had to go. We spent almost a month in and around Livingstone and also went on a Safari- the wildlife was incredible! Highly recommended. Here’ one of my favorite pics………… Don
