Ken is right.. brrrr... makes me cold just looking at it. Super nice work, Jack.

Hello Jacques. Welcome to MSW. I know of your log very well as I'm following it quietly since I'm not a member there. You're doing a beautiful build and I'm learning much from you.
-
JR, if you do a log, put it in the scratch area and add the keyword "RESTORATION" at the end of the title. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
-
That did come out looking great. After the pencil, you apply anything else like a flat clear?
-
Kickback is always a "not good" thing. I learned to stand off to the side to use the saw and even the mini table saws can cause you body damage if they kick back.
-
You actually start a log in either the kit area or scratch area depending on whichever one it is. This area is basically just a "meet and greet" type. As for the log itself, once you've determined which area, just look at top of the first page where there's pinned posts to help you with naming, etc.

And there's copper as many used car radiators for the condenser.

Welcome to MSW, Martin. Consider a build log for the Cutty and then for Victory. Logs are excellent for getting help and meeting folks.

Not sure where you are but it sounds like where I am. Several decades ago there was "survivalist" camp in the mountains. A mile away there was camp for some sort of insurgents (overthrow the government? I never did find out).

I think they had the same issues on some of the other rivers as well. Caused a lot of problems during the Civil War.

Your scroll saw vibration problem is troubling. Unplug the machine and check for looseness in the arms by trying to move them from side to side. If they "wobble" then the bearings are worn out. I had that happen to me on my old saw.

Not from where I'm sitting. Those beasts took a beating over time.

That crew looks like some of my neighbors, Jack. I guess good-ol-boys are everywhere. I hope your parts are enjoying the nice road trip they're getting.

Have a look at his log. I don't think it was that much work.

The wood cannon came out looking like metal. Beautiful work. Way back before I had a lathe, I did the cannons for the Constellation in brass using a drill and files. Very slow and painful work and in hindsight, I should tried wood.
-
Very well done, Paul.
-
Hi again, I put an answer in your other post.
-
Is this a kit or a scratchbuild? If you like, open a build log on her.
-
Well, there's a couple of choices... one plastic by Zveda. You can also do what Old Collingwood did which was bash or convert another kit over to her: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/19140-black-pearl-by-old-collingwood-finished-172-scale/

Shock me up a bit when I saw the first photo and started scrolling down. I thought you had photographed the real thing. It's that good. -
For pirated kits.. have a look here: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/181-banned-kit-manufacturers-on-msw-pirated-kits-prohibited/ Unless there's a box photo and the vendor is Chinese, I wouldn't touch it.

Bell UH-1H Huey By lmagna - Dragon - 1/35 - PLASTIC

Lou, Take a deep breath and back off a bit. The OD looks perfect, just faded enough in "normal" light to show some use. OD is the chameleon of colors and does seem to change depending on lighting, shade, etc. -
Welcome to MSW. You're about as qualified to build a model probably the rest of us when we started. Oh wait.. you're more qualified as the "Master and Commander" movie wasn't out when some of us started.
-
Welcome to MSW. When you finally chose a model to start, open a build log so that when you have issues, others can help.
