  1. Hi Mark, Welcome to MSW. As Chris mentioned, start small (no masts) and then go up from there as more masts equals more complexity. If you haven't read this, please do as it will help get you started on the model building path:
  2. His last logon was a month after his last post. I hope that he's just busy.
  3. I am constantly amazed at how much detail you put into these tiny models. It's looking great.
  4. Welcome to MSW, Jon. As far as sailing the "big boy"... There's one on the north coast (I think the farthest south it goes is Coos Bay but I could be wrong. And I believe the museum ship, Surprise, in San Diego still does day cruises.
  5. Nice work. That ship is tiny... wow. I agree with Lou about reconsidering and doing a log.
  6. I'm happy that the link is useful and the description. I realize that A/C mounts were somewhat but not entirely different than boat mounts. I only wish I still had my album from 'Nam. Had a lot of photos of things like this.
  7. The painting is great Gaetan. And your work is always a joy to see and a goal.
  8. Thanks Siggi. I think it was the perspective that made it look off.
  9. There's a detail one doesn't normally see in a model... a pilot's relief tube.
  10. Too late now, but using safety wire pliers would be a good answer to tying off all those "stitches".
  11. Joe, A quick Google got me these with a lot more hits. Maybe it's starting place. I used ".50 cal machine gun mount for PBR". Hope it helps or sends you in the right direction. https://www.eugeneleeslover.com/USNAVY/COASTAL-RIVERINE-CRAFT-ARMAMENT.html https://nara.getarchive.net/media/a-close-up-view-of-twin-mounted-m-2-50-caliber-machine-guns-on-a-pbr-mark-2-d9fa9b As I recall.... and memory may not be so hot, the gun was mounted to the mount using a pin-lock bolt. The pin to release the bolt had a ring and had to be pulled first (spring loaded). Once the bolt was pulled the gun came off. Mounting was the reverse and usually required a bit of acrobatics to get the bolt in.
  12. Nicely done, Siggi. A question and I hate to ask it. Is the little man with the paint to scale? If he is, I think the pump housing might be too high as he would have to raise his hands well over his head while using the pumps.
  13. Incredible work, Cri-Cri. The attention to the details is incredible.
  14. Welcome back home, CDW. Interesting car..... here's just about everything anyone might want to know about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delahaye_135
  15. Frolick, I tried and for some reason failed on fixing it. I left you a note in the post on what to try.
  16. An so it grows.... Very impressive to see everything relatively in place and all the detaiing you're doing. It's going to end up where someone seeing it completed could spend a couple of hours just finding and admiring everything.
  17. On the pictures... it's just as easy to upload all of them at once. Then move the cursor where you want the the photo and add he photo using the little pop-up icon (I think it's on the left side of the thumbnail when you hover over the thumbnail).
  18. Hi John, Welcome to MSW. I won't repeat the advice the others have given but will offer this... start 'simple'. By that I mean no-masts or maximum of one-mast. And open a log. Logs are a great way to get help and meet folks.
  19. Good to see you back, Jack. You're not alone in the doldrums... I suspect more than a few of us have it.
