Do we have a list of kits organized per scale?
mtaylor replied to yvesvidal's topic in Wood ship model kits
Floyd, Make a topic and post it here in this forum. We'll get it pinned so it will stay put. -
Matti, Looks like you are off to a great start. I see that you're already scratching things like gratings. As I recall, the Billings Wasa had plastic ones.
-
Looks good Qwerty. I'll be interested in seeing this one rigged.

Nice work, Rusty. I'm looking forward to seeing the frames raised. -
What are Warning Points?
mtaylor replied to ScottRC's topic in How to use the MSW forum - **NO MODELING CONTENT**
Do you want some? -
She's coming together nicely, Robbyn. Looks very clean and sharp with some great contrast on the woods.
-
NIce work on the hull, guns, port lids, Sjors. Rigging can be fun just do what you've been doing... taking your time. As for the moderator police... pfffffft.
-
Beautiful work, Klaus. Your carvings are wonderful.
-
The only maple I've dealt with for ship modeling is silver maple for planks. Slightly off-white with a very fine and straight grain.
-
Larry, Looks sharp. Very nicely done. Hmm... going to add to the stern and bow of the cross-section?
-
Simply put, kits from ZHL are banned from MSW. Read here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/181-banned-kit-manufacturers-on-msw/

Tex... look here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/540-how-to-add-pictures-in-your-posts-and-pms/ that should help with the tech stuff.

John, I knew it was small.... but not that small. The size makes the work you've put into her even more impressive. Hmm.... I'm repeating what everyone else is saying. But I'll let it stand. This is one fantastic build.
-
Dang it.. Sjors beat me to the seat next to the popcorn machine... Anyway, looking forward to seeing your build of the CW.
-
Kevin, Don't sweat the time log or the reference for the sails. That's a pretty good article on setting the sails.

Around here... any and all awards are 'prestigous". Kind of like "deluxe" on a box of macaroni and cheese. :P Congrats Captain Augie!!! Here's a 3 gun salute (not firing cotton balls)!

Party on, Mobbsie.... Aggie and the rest of us will be here waiting.

Tex, You got that tryworks article from MSW. It's in the furniture section. He did his build logs on DDM and also here. I haven't seen him back here yet but then again, I might have missed him He did a fantastic job on his build.
-
Grant, Get well first. The ship is minor compared to health. Besides, there's a 95% chance that whatever you do while on the meds, you'll find you have to redo once you're off them.
-
Mobbsie, One way to do it is to put PVA on the plank. Put a tiny drop of CA on the hull about where the ends of the plank will go. Install the plank and hold for a few seconds. The CA will immediately cure out due to the moisture of the PVA. But.. it is a "quick" process. I've done this but only used the CA at the end "around the bend"... the longer part I push into position and then work the plank around. The last thing pressed into position is the end with the CA.
-
Here I am thinking the first one was work of art and suddenly.... an improved work of art. Yikes!!!

Jim, Looks great. Nice, clean milling work. -
Excellent work on the joinery. I've learned from my experience to just plank the whole deck.. hides all the sins. Yours has no sins.
-
One thing we do have to remember... the men who built and manned them were practical. They might have stern chaser and bow chaser ports but since those were seldom used, they probably wouldn't have gone to the expense of putting cannon there. A look at other ships with those seems to bear that out. As for having a bad day... meeting a 74 gunner in a brig would be one.
