  1. Rowland - a warm You have started a journey that will never end. You will find new encounters and challenges. Never forget to reach out in our forum and ask questions, that why we exist. And make sure you start a build log for us to follow.
  2. What a great combo bulldog and meatballs, Swedish meatballs that should be.....😀 That bulldog in the model but also the live one looks great.
  3. Instruction videos still available..... at on your computer
  4. Amalio, very nice turning job you have done there with the cannons. Did you just use your regular lathe or did you use cnc in order to get them all equal?
  5. Andrew, it was a true pleasure meeting you this Sunday at the Tugboat Festival in Olympia Washington. This is what Model Ship World is all about! Just like this, members meeting up at a festival to share interests. And meeting face-to-face. Andrew it was also a pleasure to meet your significant other. I wish you would have had more time with us Olympia Model Sailor, but at same time find more information about the tug you are building. I sorry to know that you weren't pleased with the outcome of your yacht as I was hoping to see it and take some pictures of her. Guess there will be other opportunities! Best to you and I am happy meeting you.
  6. You have done a tremendous job. One this we all have might have problem with is lining the hull planking up to match each side. Looking very good.
  7. After reading all the good experience with Ultimation I decided to buy their package. Order placed today, will see how long it will take until package arrives. I am not in a hurry. But after viewing videos regarding the cutter and sander I am looking forward to trying them out and make a somewhat review.
  8. BuckyBoo, Welcome to US here at MSW.
  9. Bryan that looks really good, I do remember from opening my box I found the brass material oversized. Hope you have better material in your box.
  10. Y.T, at the time I have no idea what brought her down. Considering she was smaller with less mast height and slightly wider beam there are speculations there was other factors that brought her down. The conditions of her are really bad more torn up makes the researcher to believe she went down in a battle. The ship Vasa's little sister Falken found - Stockholm University
  11. Bryan, the hull planking of your Gretel looks amazing, I also have this Swedish ship in my stash to be built.
  12. Welcome onboard, as many has stated there are quite a few builds of the Bluenose. Enjoy your build and don't rush.
  13. That looks amazing, my 40 year old Constructo model is not finished yet and have a lot of brass parts as for superstucture.
  14. Phil, I love your history telling... which makes your build even more interesting.
  15. Hi Paul and a warm welcome to Model Ship World, it is a friendly place where you can get answers to your build questions. Greetings from a place half way between Seattle and Portland.
  16. Fascinating story and a warm welcome to MSW.
  17. After watching a video clip about full size plank bending where they used distilled vinegar, I thought to give this a shot. I am so happy I found that trick as it worked out very well for me. Vinegar breaks down the molecules and softens the wood, applying heat to get the curves and bending and you have the shape. The distilled vinegar doesn't change the color of the wood. Application time about 10 minutes
