  1. I'm not sure about paint. I know that a lot of hobby/craft shops sell liquid gold leaf which works very well. Just use a normal sable paint brush.
  2. Congratulations, Ben. Looks sweet in her new home. Yes, enquiring minds and all that.. what's to be the fate of the Confederacy? No pressure.
  3. I hope I made it to the front row..... and someone's already setup the popcorn machine...
  4. Richard, If it's the rpm holding you back, Sherline does make an RPM kit. It may or may not fit the R8 type of mills from Micromark, Harbor Freight, etc. I have the Mini-Mill from MM and have pointed out elsewhere what I thought were it's good points and it's bad points. I did modify the drive system to produce about 12,000 rpm at the bit.. + or -.
  5. Thanks Anja, Let her know that she's missed and that we hope all is well.
  6. Play-Doh??? Never thought of that for holding metal parts together. Great idea.
  7. I think "WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!" pretty much covers it.... Great job on the rigging, Hamilton.
  8. Looking great, Piet. Hard to believe it's all wood and paper under that paint and not actual metal.
  9. You might have a long way to go, Mike, but what you have accomplished is fantastic.
  10. The smallest one that Lowe's has is too big for what we do. Ok..maybe not if you're doing 1:36 or 1:24. It was in the same section as their Dremel tools.
  11. Sam, I've seen something like at Lowe's now that I've seen the picture.... <grabs credit card><runs out door> Back in a bit!!!!!!
  12. Jan, Wonderful work.. I love watching your builds.
  13. Sherry, I'm saddened to hear this. A good picture and fond memories are the best way to remember anyone who's not with us anymore. I hope your good memories will ease your pain.
  14. Good to hear that things are settling back down. Who needs turmoil when we have ships to build? Or does turmoil and shipbuilding go hand-in-hand? I think Adam had the recipe almost right... something about water though. It just doesn't seem right.
  15. Steve, Have a great trip! It sound like a great adventure!
  16. Hope you have a speedy recovery, Nenad. Not a good thing to try to build when you're not at 100% as it becomes too easy to make big mistakes.
  17. Thanks for the tutorials, Gil. Good to see that you're back in the shipyard.
  18. I hope you don't mind if I too, pull up a chair. Looks to be an interesting model.
  19. Love the photography. They, alone, are works of art. You're taking build logs to a whole new level, Gaetan.
  20. Hmm... I think you're right, Michael. The racing stripe would work on a yacht but all of the same color and in a lighter wood seems more appropriate for a working ship.
  21. Sadly, no one makes one of those.
