Pat, It's due to XP and IE8 Actually, I think part or most of the problem is with IE8. I saw some weird behaviors before upgrading my work computer (Win7) to IE9.

If there's enough.. the bloodwood should make nice looking cannon carriages.
-
Nice to you've brought the build log back, Revier. Don't worry about your English. The pictures tell the story.
-
Gimo, Really nice to see your build back. Beautiful work.
-
It's great to see your build coming back, Piet. I've enjoyed following along since day 1 on the old MSW.

Jeff...That's the ones!!!!! Wonderful blades... I'm still testing but so far they are superior to anything I've seen. Edit: Yikes.. I just re-read what I wrote... that much excitement on my part about scroll saw blades. I hope you'll excuse me, I need to see Dr. Per.

Russ, You could be right... that's why I said "I think".. in one pic, the second to the last one. The other pic they look the same size. Try the quion Grant....

I added and highlighted the rules.

I've used blades from Lowe's.... meh.. don't last. I've found Olson's to be very good: http://www.olsonsaw.net/ Currently, I'm testing some blades I bought from place in Canada... Don't have the website in front of me, but their blades appear to be better than Olson. I'll post the link, hopefully tonite.

Lovely work on the cannons, Grant. Very well done. You might want to adjust the quoins a bit. With the deck round-up, your guns are aimed downward. On second look, I think you have the trucks reversed... the smaller ones should be in the back, the larger ones in the front. This should get your barrels raised.

Consider it done, Martin. We want anyone who searches for your builds to be able to find them.

So...let's see.. the moon has to be in the 7th house and Jupiter aligned with Mars? Then we get to sing along also. Ok..I recall the Eindecker, the D-VII and and DR-I....didn't know there was a D-VIII. NM, just found it with a quick Google. The DR-1 was always my favorite but a bit too skittish for my taste.
-
Augie, As I recall, they didn't back off before firing. The torpedo would have just bobbed around a bit. I think John hit it right... "suicide spear". Reference the Hunley...
-
HIde the detail? The size of the sails for those spars will hide the whole ship!
-
Ok.,. I'm confused... who's log is this? Boris or Mort's?????? Boris (Martin) has the first post, but the title indicates it's Mort's. Does it need to be changed?
-
Impressive looking deck furniture Sarah. Hmm... there might be something to the concept of a wrong hammer and fingernail polish.
-
Bob, As I recall they weren't released but detonated on impact. There are some plans for the ones that were screwed into the ships hull and then the fuse was set but coppered hulls put a stop to that. I'd think running up a ship and detonating it would have been more than exciting to the crew of the picket boat. Possibly fatal.
-
He's right.. the cross-section is a very good way to get started. Take a look at the build logs when you get a chance. If this is not the time for you to do it, keep it in mind for when it is.

Sven, This is just amazing work. The closest thing I can find to a salute emoticon: --> -
I don't remember seeing the musket rack. Is this new? I love that candle.
-
Gil, You may be doing a "kit" but even us scratch types can learn something. Thanks for sharing it.
-
Thanks BE. I wish I'd seen the whole process in real time from the beginning. Great build!

Caroline We'll blame Laerte for pushing you to the darkside. The cabin accoutrements are great! I wonder where "the old engineer" is? Haven't seen him here yet.
