  1. Nick, Very nice start. Your hull planing is very very nice. MIchael
  2. NIls, Nice update. Nice rigging work as well. Thanks for the large format pics. helps to see your level of detail. Michael
  3. Roger, Buck thanks for your very nice thoughts they are very appreciated. Its encouraging to also learn from other builders here at MSW. Cheers, Michael
  4. Lawrence, Thanks for your kind comments. No Chuck does not include a drill bit. I needed to enlarge all the holes, as I mentioned in the previous post. I kept the drill bit in the envelope for future reference, as needed. The blocks that are in the envelopes have not been re-drilled. Regards, Michael
  5. Theo, Beautiful project, such a wealth of perfectly executed details.!! As you know you were the catalyst for my efforts at hand building the carriages on mine. I am really enjoying following your build. Also a really impressive ship. MIchael
  6. Dave, Nice to see that you are back at work. Looking good. The Connie will be in dry-dock for the next 2 years, as I'm sure you know. I hope to visit her when she returns to her museum. She looked great out for her last cruise. Michael
  7. Karl, Thanks... FYI I also used the G-S to glue the metal rings to the sides of the carriages. Worked perfectly with absolutely no visible glue marks. I had intended to use CA, but if you miss CA leaves a stain. Michael
  8. Nigel, Thanks SO much your comments are always so dear. Michael
  9. JanV, Thanks...these are the ones I used. Note the drill bit in the envelope, all blocks were drilled a second time to enlarge the holes to allow ropes to go through. I have learned that this is a common practice to do. Not a criticism of Chuck's excellent products. Michael
  10. Hi Mates, Installed carriages now just need to clean up the ropes. I will leave that for now and move to an other area TBD. Thanks for looking in (:-) PS: first pic, is self explanatory, but found it easy to position carriage then drill a small hole in deck for installation. MIchael
  11. JP, Nice to see you active again. Looks very good. Excellent start. Regards, Michael
  12. Vivian, Great update. Love the shades you have used with the woods. All work beautifully together. Very impressive build of a not-so-often seen ship. I've done a Google search, Yes, you are the only woman in Brasil building a model ships. (:-) (:-) Até logo Michael
  13. Nigel, NO I had not linked over. Thanks for the heads up, I will Google this and certainly spend much quality time looking at the work of such an amazing artist. PS: Many more than "a handful" at MSW (:-) Thanks my friend Michael
  14. Nigel, This might be it, but this one has no interior, but the work as SO brilliant, almost not believable. Plastic no less. Be sure to scroll through ALL of the pages, as pics come back up later during the scroll. A huge treat for the eyes. The aging look is beyond words. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234929054-revell-172-type-viic41-u-boat-u995/ Michael
  15. Anthony, There is a Forum dedicated to the Disney Nautilus. Some of the projects are quite beautiful; you will need to register http://nautilussubmarine.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=8 MIchael
  16. On this subject, well let's REALLY spend some money.... http://www.westbourne-model.co.uk/acatalog/Nautilus_TMAX-2158-ext.html
  17. It seems as if it is 150 X £5.99 = aprox $1,250 USD OUCH super cool looking but....
  18. Frank, Nice update that was certainly a lot of detailed work. Looks excellent. Michael
  19. Daniel, Very nice project...."This time started quite easily with a large scale model of a bacteriophage on a 0,5 mm drill" ... Funny, I had to actually Google that word. Yes there is a resemblance isn't there. Cheers Michael
  20. Theo, Super nice update. Your attention to details is so impressive. She's a beauty. PS: following your build led me to decide on building the carriages for mine, as well as rigging them correctly. I so appreciated the effort you took with your weather deck guns - they look so awesome (:-) Cheers, Michael
  21. Adam, I just happened onto your build. Hmmmm beautiful, super scaled detailing, lovely paint work. Very nice project. Regards, Michael
  22. Karl, Most of us are waiting for the upcoming Vasa rigging bible Vasa II. Fred is hoping - by the end of this year, we shall see (:-) In any case this will be the "last word" regarding all of our rigging questions. Ulises is right check the link. Fred Hocker has listed all of the chapters that will be in the Vasa II book. Your work looks excellent by-the-way. Michael
  23. Rodger, Been thinking about your build and found this. FYI, though I think that your build details suggest that you have good source material. But just a thought. http://www.amazon.com/Mississippi-Steamboat-Era-Historic-Photographs-ebook/dp/B00A73AQGS/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1408471778&sr=1-1&keywords=mississippi+steamboats Also available at ModelExpo Regards, Michael
