  1. It went flying across the room??? Check the fence. If it's closer to the back of the blade then the front, it'll pinch and grab and fling it. Also, make sure the blade is just tad above the wood. That's what it usually is when I send wood into the next county.
  2. Between Sjors and Andy, you're getting some pretty interesting ideas. Hmm... what about the washer nozzles for the window if you add the wipers? I'll go hide quietly now.
  3. Nice catch on the mizzen mast. I guess the Mirage is bit too big to be a brig?
  4. Uh... my Constellation started as an AL kit.. two reasons: 1) only manufacturer with this model. 2) Cheap. Having said that, you get what you pay for. AL has undergone a lot of changes in the several years and whatever quality they had, from what I understand, is now about zilch. Some of their stuff is getting fairly good reviews, Surprise and Victory. Not sure about the other kits. Most of their kits are now put together in southeast Asia and also form the basis for the owner's "museum quality, hand-crafted ships" that a lot of pre-built model sites and e-bay sell. The other problem is that a lot of AL's models are fiction... An aside is that when the owner moved, the designers and some others founded OCcre.
  5. Mobbsie, I'm not sure there is a dip.. maybe some more photos? :D Planking looks good. For Sjors... just one...
  6. Very nicely done, Sjors. Looks great. Too bad you can't ignore the cries from Mirage and work some more on her.
  7. Nice work on the hull planking, Robert. What was it you used on the deck?
  8. I've done the same thing in various places for different reasons. In the midwest it was to inject air into the tail of a nightcrawler when bass fishing.. Here in Oregan, it's been for dispensing glue. I've also used them to dispense loctite, thin machine oil, and other substances (not illegal) in my racing and model aircraft days. Not sure I understand the bit about needing a prescription to by a syringe. I mean.. they have other uses for crying out loud.
  9. Here's a post from the "Milling my own wood" topic with a link to a great article on harvesting wood: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/822-milling-my-own-wood/?p=21296
  10. Hamilton, When you're ready.... Meantime, we'll kickback and watch the grass grow. As you guessed, we're easily distracted.
