    Looking forward to the pdf file.

    Take the CD to someone who has a drive. It should contained a printable file. You should be able to print out the instructions at a printing. Good luck

    I just placed an order of these scissors, shouldn't take long to get them as manufacturing is done in Idaho.

    Here is another site to look at. More expensive but the quality is outstanding. Starrett Pin Vise set.

    Brian, I just finished reading your build log. I am impressed with your patience and determination. You did a great job with all the rolling of paper. Coming to an end and leaning back and saying "I did it" is always a good feeling.

    Alan, that looks like a nice kit down the memory lane of the 20th century.

    Mark, you can edit the title if you want to, otherwise let one of the moderators know what you like in the title, and we can change it. Just double click the title and you can edit it.

    Phil, your rigging is looking really good, and your instructions can be implemented to other builds as well.

    Greg, that detail in painting is amazing.

    Finish all planking and sanding before any varnish, otherwise you might have issues with adhering.

    Brad, first of all, a warm welcome to MSW. Now as for the pictures and showing your build. Please create a seperate build on the correct topic area. Copy and paste from the other site. Again warm welcome cold Pacific Northwest.

    Dave, from a cold Pacific Northwest a warm welcome to you.

    Wayward, You have done a very nice job with Lady Nelson, there are other build logs of her so look into them for information.
  18. Nirvana
    Bill, try micromark.com they might have the correct wheel.

    Andrew, I would recommend you to use epoxy for the second hull planking. Epoxy creates a watertight seal then sand the second layer make it super smooth then apply your varnish. Sand inbetween sessions. That should do some of the sealing, also I would recommend to epoxy the inside of the hull. Use WestMarine 105 and 205 and silica powder. Btw, nice progress. Good luck.

    Looking amazing!

    Looking good Neal,

    Paul, I like the priming you have done. Looks very good. What color are you going to give the prop shafts. Seems like you did your homework regarding the paint. The combination of Tamiya and Vallejo seems like a good combination. What color code are you using for the underwater painting?
  23. Nirvana
    The Black Swan - renamed from the Black Pearl due to license issues
  24. Nirvana
    Wonder if that would be HMS Interceptor? Which would make sense.

    Hej Felix och Välkommen till ModelShipWorld, I am assuming your located in Sweden based on your "Shipyard". You are off to a good start with your Esperance. As for planking there is links above under NRG tab regarding planking. There are also lots of youtube tutorials to look into as well. Planking can feel a little intimidating but once you have it done and painted it will feel so much better. Lycka till och uppdatera ditt bygge. Good luck and please let us know if you have any questions.
