Beautiful build and also the display. The display is very unique and adds something, IMO.

Hmmm.... distinct advantages to using a 1 gallon wine bottle. Mostly the wine probably in addition to more room inside for the models and also the larger mouth. The only question is "white" or "red" for the liquid contents. So the "choose wisely" meme works for this.

There is a catch using the height of the guns as a reference. IMO. It would depend on if the guns were one pedestals (and long those were) or just mounted to the gunwale. I have deep appreciation for your research and wanting accuracy. I also realize that given the time frame of the ship, accuracy is something just a "best guess".

That's a bit of bummer, Phil. I'm assuming supply side issues which seem to hitting at this point. So at least you didn't dive too deep into their site. Better for the budget. I didn't know Dremel made one.... that's good to know

Just wonderful, Keith. A feast for the eyes.

I'm in also Steven. I love your research and builds.

You might check Micro-Mark. It's been a long time since i've visited their site but they did have some. Two types as I recall... one a single-blade and another that used two blades.

Congratulations, Grant. That's great news

Chris, have you had a look in the kit area for builds of this ship and see what they have done? Many builders do bash the kits for rigging, deck fixtures,etc.

If I remember right from my school days back in the dark ages, the answer to most of those questions would have "strawberries don't have bones.".

Gantry style building board dimensions advice
mtaylor replied to davec's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
What kind of advice are you looking for? The catch is from I've seen is that there is no "one size fits all" for a build board. It basically depends on the size of the model. -
(inexpensive) Lathe recommendations
mtaylor replied to palmerit's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Here's a link with a lot of excellent info on lathes and also mills. I have one of MicroMark lathes and it's adequate for what I use it for. https://www.mini-lathe.com/ -
It seems that many times, their kits are cheaper on Ebay than in their website. Sometimes not. The catch is, when you see a price you're comfortable with, you need to jump right then and there because of how they change prices.

Have you tried Googling "ocean tugs"? Might need to change the search words as you go.

The changes to the photography set up were well worth it, Alan. The figure looks fantastic.
