  1. You're doing one incredible model, Steve. The details just blow me away.
  2. I'd say Vanguard or Syren. Both are very innovative is both kit design and documentation. Both have their manuals online. Syren's are here and Vanguard's are on their site. Both have development logs here on MSW.
  3. Between Chris and Chuck, they're both leaving the rest in the dust. Instead of just following the "this is the way it's always been done", they're innovating.
  4. Good to see you back and making some progress. I hope things are better on the home front.
  5. Top of any page on the menu bar. Here's a direct link: https://thenrg.org/resource/articles
  6. That photo is, IMHO, fantastic. Looks to be the real thing sitting on the apron just after the rain has stopped.
  7. Mark, Look up Dockyard Model Company chisels. They have or had excellent tools. I have four of their sets and they are wonderful. Last time I checked their products were available at a couple of places.
  8. It's been moved to the right area. No worries.
  9. Here's how to do a log... https://modelshipworld.com/forum/160-read-before-you-start-your-scratch-build-log/
  10. I would think that the shrouds would prevent mast movement under sail. But, rope does stretch so maybe this is somewhat of a fail safe kind of thing.
  11. I think so but there are those who will ignore it and basically destroy the site as far as research and preservation is concerned. Even naval war graves (sunk during battle) have been destroyed.
  12. Welcome to MSW, Al. That looks to be a excellent project of a rare model. Feel free to open a Restoration log in the Scratch Area. By doing that, you might get more info and also help as needed and we get to watch.
  13. Welcome to MSW, Ralph. Beautiful work on the Bellona.
  14. Marvelous work, Gary. It's just amazing how much detail you pack into a such a small display.
  15. "Heavy is the head that wears the crown". What's not said is that "for it will roll away quickly".
  16. Welcome to MSW, Jeff.
  17. If you don't like the idea of wrapping the small parts and then unwrapping and hoping all goes well, Get a small plastic container like some food products come in. Then pour in some alcohol and drop in the parts. Let it sit, All the parts should drop off the wood after a few hours or less.
  18. Welcome to MSW, Jim. Have you tried contacting company who sold the kit? Or Mantua about the instructions? Here's their website. https://www.mantuamodel.co.uk/ There's a contact addy at the bottom of the first page.
  19. There is /was a Billing Wasa/Vasa build using the latest info at the time a few years ago. He painted it as the museum says it was painted in all it's glory. If I remember right.. it's this log.
