καλημερα Χρηστο. Δεν ξερω αν το γνωριζεις, αλλα ο Παντιας εδω και ενα χρονο περιπου ειναι ο Πρεσβης μας στο Παρισι. Αν τυχει να πας καμια φορα εκει, τηλεφωνα του στη Πρεσβεια, ειμαι σιγουρος οτι θα χαρει να σε δει. Για τα μοντελα, μπραβο! Δηλαδη οταν λες 6-10 μ.Χ. αιωνα, τι ακριβως πλοια ειναι αυτα? Και το Sir Winston Churchill ποιο πλοιο ειναι? Εγω βρηκα και παρηγγειλα, αλλα η κατασκευη θα περιμενει για οταν θα ειμαι Κυπρο γιατι εδω δεν εχω τα εργαλεια μου, το καραβι της Κερυνειας. Ειναι απο μια κινεζικη εταιρεια (απο ολο τον κοσμο, μονο οι κινεζοι εβγαλαν τετοιο κιτ) και το κιτ ειναι εξαιρετικο! Θα συνεχισω να παρακολουθω την προοδο του L'Hermione. Αν καμια φορα ερθεις κατα Βελιγραδι, μη διστασεις να μου τηλεφωνησεις. καλη συνεχεια

hi Gordon, I think by now you must have solved your problem but if not, I am also currently building the Victory at the same scale (Revell). Which company is your model? I could maybe help you. As for the rigging, if it's the actual thread that is missing, then you can just buy a coupe of spools at any hobby shop.

hi, I apologize for the very dealyed reply but I just now saw your post. I built the La Reale de France from Heller 4-5 years ago. I don't recall there were any parts missing in the kit. Recently, a few months ago actually, I was building the Saint Louis from Revell and there were a couple of parts missing. I wrote to Revell, and although they replied, it was just to inform me that the specific kit was sold out and the missing parts could not be replaced.

hi UV. Just went quickly through your log. Great work! I will try to keep an eye on it:). Just for information, Mamoli went out of business due to a fire at their factory. It's a pitty. I liked their models

nice work so far VU. I'm sure once finished it will be a lovely model. I'll be following your log as often as I can. As for the work space, I am lucky to have a larger workhsop than you. My problem is exposing the models (in their cases) once finished.

hi Marc although you already made your order, another site to have in mind (it's in France) which is very well stocke in all sorts of woods such as samba, red cedar, oregon pine, mahogany etc (including dowels) in various shapes and diameters is www.multimatieres.fr Constantinos

interesting idea. it would be nice to have both the ship itself, the cross section and the book displayed together!

Paint for King of the Mississippi - moved by Moderator
Costas replied to Eddie137's topic in Wood ship model kits
hi Eddie. I don't knwo if my input will really help you but I hope it does. I very recently built (plastic, Life Like models) the Natchez Mississippi river packet. I painted all the railings matt white, the 2 main decks light brown (Humbrol No 97 if I remember correctly) and the main upperstructure green (Humbrol No 47). the 4 chimney stacks matt red (Humbrol 10 I think). of course probably the Natchez had a singular paint set. I tried to research it before starting to paint but couldn't find any information. If in doubt, I suggest you paint all the railings white, you leave everything else in natural wood. The chimney stacks in black and the paddle wheel either white or matt red. Hope I was of help. -

How to fix glue blotches?
Costas replied to ArthurB's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
as others said, there is no miracle soution to the problem and we all , to a lesser or greater degree, face it what I discovered is that acrylic stains (being water based) tend to not adhere to CA glues. It would be perhaps better (combined with other remedies you and others suggested) to use solvent based stains which have a much better adhereence (although that would not make the blotching disappear entirely). -
Best Gold Paint??
Costas replied to demonborger's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
hi, I've never used gold (or any other metallic colour for that matter on wood). I think most leading paint brands (Humbrol, Vallejo, Revell, Testors, Model Master )have very good golds (Model Master's "Brass" is great and is very close to gold). I think a stroll in an art shop would give offer you the opportunity to find a wider variety of paints (as well as gold leaf) than in a hobby shop. There you could also find several shades of gold (antique, rennaissance etc). Hope I was helpful, Constantinos -
hi, interesting what you do with this model. I also bought exactly the same model but haven't started working on it yet, so I am interested to see how you progress. You say you cut off the original windows and created new, smaller ones. How can you do that on a pre-molded plastic mofel?

hi Yves, sorry for replying so belately about the Bellona but I discovered MSW just a few days ago and "exploring" it a bit since then. I don't know about Amati, but Corel has already marketed the Bellona a few years ago ( I bought it but didn't start it yet).
