Every time I look at your boat I am amazed at your skill. It always inspires me to do better.

Thank you very much John,
I also love those benches, they were the nicest I found after some related search with help of the web.... (photo etch kits), they are for the "Titanic" in scale 1:144

Omega1234 reacted to michael mott in Albertic by michael mott - FINISHED - Scale 1:100 - RESTORATION - Bassett-Lowke Model
Thanks for all the visits, and the likes. it continues to be encouraging.
I unmasked the dummy funnel and decided that the "no sew" works well as a mask even after a week the mask was still strong and pliable and peeled off easily. The color of the black is good the tan still needs work.
I have been using the third hand for all sorts of little tasks now. I am very happy that I took the time to make it.
here I used it to solder one of the jump rings back together. after setting everything up I used a tiny brush and put a drop of Duzall flux on the joint and took a .5 x .5mm small flat of solder placed it on the ring then with the hot air soldering gun with low flow air a couple of strokes 15mm away and the solder flowed over the joint
Today I began removing a few of the ports where the most damage to the side of the hull was sustained I used the flush cut nippers to grip and pull out the ports, because these are each unique..... yes indeed unique I placed them in order on some green felt (no I didn't cut it off the billiard table Denis) it only took ten minutes to find the one I dropped one of the pins fell into the waste basket (I found it under the flap of an envelope).
Finally I am putting some primer along the joint I will let it harden for a few days then re-sand and repeat a few times to blend in the crack.

Hi Wefalck yes these things do have a tendency to expand, being retired and not really treating this as a needed project for survival but an opportunity to give back to my community and to share some of the methods and work that might benefit the model community at the same time, is the main reason for taking on this project. That it includes some remuneration to cover some time and costs is welcome.
If I were doing this as a commercial project as I used to do I would be working in an entirely different mode, and the project would most likely be out of range financially for the client.
That said I realize that there are those who are doing this sort of work for their livelihood, and I have no intention of moving into this line of work on any scale this is a one off as far as I am concerned. I am confident that this project would not have happened at commercial rates and this model would have been written off. Eventually it will return to public display, which in my view is a good thing.

Hi Vaddoc - many thanks. The break has been too long. Hopefully, now that things are getting back to normal, I can look forward to catching up with everyone's builds; yours especially!
Thanks Steve. Lots of work still to go, though! Much appreciated, as always.
Hi Frank - yep, you're right. Sometimes, these 'time outs' are unavoidable, but at least once they're over, it's full steam ahead again.
Hi Gary Many thanks and greatly appreciated. It's great to have you onboard for Shadow's journey.
Thanks Denis - It's amazing what a lot of putty and time can do!
Thanks Nils. I've got a lot of catching up to do, that's for sure!
Hi Elijah - thanks! You could be right about this time of the year. I think everyone's starting to feel the stress of Christmas, holidays, etc. Hectic times, that's for sure!
Cheers

Hah Nils!
I just had a little chuckle. Those vents reminded me of a whole bunch of meerkats checking out the view. All standing up straight and facing the same direction.
Where's David Attenborough?
Nice work, of course!

We l come back Patrick! She is looking nice and smooth! It is strange, I have been reading about people not having time to build around this time of year. Could it be a pattern? I seem to have had the same building break over the last few weeks. I'm looking forward to your inevitably fantastic interior detail! Have fun !

Hi folks
I'm back! Life's been really hectic over the past few weeks, which has meant that I've had little time for MSW, catching up with people's builds, or working on Shadow. Hopefully, things will ease off so that I can get back to some normality.
Anyhow, over the past few nights, I've kinda reached a milestone with Shadow - that being the completion of the construction of the major components of her superstructure. With that milestone behind me, I can now settle down to detailing her interior accommodation and the myriad of above-deck details. Fun times ahead!
I hope you all enjoy the photos as much as I'm going to enjoy catching up with everyone's build logs!
Cheers

Hi Lawrence
Many thanks! I'm really enjoying building Shadow; albeit, the time I've had available lately has been pretty scarce. Hopefully, that'll change as things settle down over the next few weeks.
I've also thought about your comment about the large scale models, but sadly, I've resorted to building miniatures because I have no more room for the big models in my house. In fact, all my large RC yachts (including a 3 masted radio controlled clipper ship which I built when I was 17), are languishing in my garden shed! Sad, but true.
So, miniatures it is, from now on!
Have a great week.
Cheers

Hi Elijah.
Yep, but it's not a swimming pool as such; but more like a spa.
Regardless, it'd be a great place to relax!
Thanks
