  1. True, but they were very maneuverable and with the engine spinning, they could turn really tight turns to the right. They did have their issues though
  2. I didn't notice the opening until it was pointed out to me. Thanks.
  3. Personally, I love this model and your work. If such issues happen here as they have elsewhere, let the moderators know by reporting the offending post (3 dots, upper right side of each post... click it and pop up menu will show).
  4. Welcome to MSW. Questions are always good. When asking, put the questions into the appropriate sub-forum in this area: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/12-shop-notes-ship-modeling-tips-techniques-and-research/ You'll get more "eyes" seeing it there than here.
  5. Welcome to MSW. Hope you'll start a build log when you're ready.
  6. I always thought that was a rumor but after all these years it was true.
  7. Do we need to start a 'grumpy old man' topic in Shore Leave? Meantime, back to the Mikasa and what gets done next.
  8. Looking good and no worries on the time frame. With this hobby, builds always go over estimates because life has a way of tossing our schedules into the dumpster.
  9. Will there be carvings on the stern and figurehead? BTW, how are the kids going to get in and out of this? Over the top?
  10. I've been called worse so call me what you want but don't call me late for dinner.
  11. Look in the tools area. A quick search will get you much information.
  12. Looking good, Brian. Just curious, as it's not mentioned or in your title... what scale will this be. I've followed the few (very few it seems) builds of this ship and also read Dr. Crisman's thesis on this ship which was not only the battle but the archaeology work on the wreck.
  13. For dental bits, look in Ebay. Sometime ago a bought a box of them of various shapes and sizes for little money. Another good alternative is talk to your dentist. Most will be happy give away their used ones.
  14. Just amazing what you're getting out that laser cutter. You just pushed the envelope a lot further in the laser world.
  15. Welcome to MSW, Mart. Give some thought to starting a log anyway. We have lots of long term builds because life gets in the way.
  16. Welcome to MSW, Antony. Life is a sometimes strange voyage and end up at places where we once were. Modelbuilding is one of those places. I hope you'll start a build log when you're ready.
  17. At least they're getting to do "hands on" research. Given the costs and probable fragility it probably won't ever be raised and preserved.
  18. No worries, mog. Looking closer, I see the difference. The copper looks red to me from here. Sorry about that.
  19. Is this a build log? If it is, let me know and move it to the proper forum and subforum.
  20. Jeff, Make it easy on yourself to post. Type in your text, drop down to the bottom and your photos. Then post it all at once.
  21. Welcome aboard, Chuck. There's a couple of ways of finding your gallery..... One is when you upload it, create a link as part of your signature. This is probably the best as others will see it on your posts and probably visit you gallery. Another is to use the search function... upper right hand side of any page... and select Gallery with the name (yours or the name of the ship as the search words.
  22. Nicely done. I hate to ask but is the ammo supposed to be a full belt of tracers?
  23. Anytime, John. I'm happy to help. As for "sir".... I'm not an officer but enlisted so you don't have to call me sir.
