Welcome to MSW. I hope someone can help with the instructions.

Well, there's several manufacturers in the poll that are no longer in business. Yet you can still buy the kits and people are still doing logs for them. The poll is basically a thumbnail. If you see a manufacturer who has a kit you're interested in, then view some logs for details.

Beautiful in every way. That should end up in an art museum just for the carvings alone.

Candice, Have you tried Googling for it? I would hope there's someplace near you that could ship it.

It seems to be a matter of choice. The advantage to working from top down and bottom up is being able to fit drop plank or stealers easier.

Welcome to MSW, HakeZou. Just remember, it's not a race but a hobby so enjoy the process.

Once the ribs are in the places they need to be, and glued, you'll need to "fair" it. Use a long sanding stick or block and a have a piece of the planking handy. Sand lightly, not aggressively, such that the plank lies well on each bulkhead. Also, open a build log so others can follow along and offer advice when needed.

Which way is it "doubling"? Is it the keel being glued to the false keel?

I'm surprised they didn't give you an extra bit track to hang off the bow as was common.

Congratulations on a beautiful build. Looks quite at home in the case.

I hope you put a bit of tape over the holes, just in case......

You have been busy. Very busy. Looking great. If your wife understands you, she is a keeper. Stay well.

The dots aren't nail heads are they? This period may be too early but I recall reading of shields with nails in them for resistance to sword slashes.

Byrnes saw blade biting...update with pic
mtaylor replied to bigcreekdad's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I've found the best way is to make my own inserts. A piece of wood cut to match the opening and fitted. The blade is put on and retracted completely. The new insert is installed and the saw turned on. Then just raise the blade through the wood. If needed, holes can be drilled through the wood to allow dust to sucked by the vacuum. -
A 700 lb shot boggles the mind.

They are, but there's still a lot on Fleabay, etc.

Looks like you'll have a lot of stuff to hang on the outside of the tank, Jack.

The delay is starting the next ship will be worth it. You're going to make a girl very happy.

It would also give the driver a better view to the right.

Bell UH-1H Huey By lmagna - Dragon - 1/35 - PLASTIC
mtaylor replied to lmagna's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Well, it's all explained in that icon of military operations: "Catch-22". There's also a nice bit in "Glory Road" about the "Dirty Tricks Department" and the "Fairy Godmother Department". -
Welcome to MSW, Shepard. If you'll go here: http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-modeling-articles-and-downloads.php, the first couple of posts in the Marterials and Tools portion, the first few posts are on tools to have, advanced tools and the "important" one, IMO, "tools not to bother with". Oh.. when you decide on what to build, start a build log as that's a tool also. As for a model, start simply with either no masts or one mast. Then build from your experience.
