Yes. I don't see the model I have listed as it's obviously been superceded.

John, From reading various books and articles on battles, that approach at doing the "manly thing" seems very common. Even now it's still a common tactic..... take the war in Ukraine for example... Yep... massed attacks still happening.

I had one of the older and now discontinued Model Expo mills. Worked mostly fine but did have some limitations as I recall. It finally died and I got a new one from Little Machine Shop. Wasn't all that cheap (cost wise) but I believe you get what you pay for. The LMS mill is a joy to use as both a mill and drill press. It's larger than the ME mill and has a more powerful motor. It's heavier and there's no wobble anywhere. If I set a depth... it stays set until I change unlike some mills I've seen. No complaints here about it. I've had probably 7 or 8 years now and quite frankly, it's been worth every penny.

Welcome to MSW, Serpe. I suggest that you open a log in the kit area as it's the best way to get help and meet others. You can search for topics like buildlogs using the search function (upper right of any page).

Back around '67, one of our pilots bought a Cobra. Was an amazing car for the time. I crewed for him fairly often and while talking one day, he let me drive it. All I can say is "what a ride".

Theo, This area is for intros. I wouid suggest you ask the question here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/13-discussions-for-ships-plans-and-project-research-general-research-on-specific-vessels-and-ship-tys/ That area would more likely get you and answer as not all members visit this are area regularly. -
You might take some photos and show them to the folks at your local library. Ours does accept them and rotate them around on display. We also have a children's center that does the same thing with things like planes, cars, etc. and some ships.

A guide to using MSW
mtaylor replied to James H's topic in How to use the MSW forum - **NO MODELING CONTENT**
You might go to the Kit Area and in the 1751-1800 do a search on the 18th Century Merchantman Half Hull. The kit designer did post her work on this which became the instruction manual. I think that might be the best answer I have. -
The only thought I have would be for you to go to the Scratch Area and have a look through the logs from 1901 to the present day.

I'm assuming these are "flying" models? The issue with them was weight and wood skins would have created their own set of problems. For WWI models, generally they were fabric covered so silkspan gives a more "correct" look.

Welcome to MSW, Andrew. I would suggest you open a build log in the appropriate area as it's probably the best way to get help and meet other builders. Who knows, maybe some did the model back in the day and since no Web, no log.

I've seen post after post asking for info on the "best kit". The catch is, the author never specifies what they mean by "best" until others begin asking. The concept of "best" is rather subjective to many factors.... instructins, begnner kit or more advanced, materials, and reputation of the supplier, historical accuracy, etc. So help us out.. give us some more info on what your criteria is. Thank you.

Best wishes to you, Dan. We're a patient lot so do what you need or want to do.

Words fail me on this..... beyond impressive, beyond fantastic. So, I will just wander downstairs and get a glass of brany and toast you and your skills.

I've been using the method Dziadeczek mentions for a long time and have yet to burn wood. Takes a bit of sorting out early on how much to offset the fence and also to learn how to feed without getting some weird cuts.
