Dave, From another Washingtonian, Warm and Dry Greetings after all the rain we had. Are you into Catamaran sailing? Just wondering considering your "nick name". You may know there are a lot of Model building clubs in our area. Please look into www.pssm.club as I am part of them. Our next meeting is the upcoming Saturday in Kirkland. Btw, Mark has a very good point - start small. If you go to NRG shop website you can find a half hull model to start with and learning the essential about planking. Even though I have been building models for a long time, I recently bought this "model" to become more experienced with planking! Once again Welcome to MSW!

Thomas, I bought the PM40 a long time ago, and it is very much used. You will like it! -
Nicely done!

I saw this topic and found it interesting, specially with the AYC "corridor" where I live. So I did a search and found so many mills nearby providing this amazing wood. Yes, I did buy some sheets from Chuck and love the quality and hue of color.

Floyd, use a caliper - measure the wire either in mm or fractions or inches.... now use the table of wire and you will find that higher wire number the smaller diameter it has, lower wire number - larger diameter. 28 0.0126 0.32 Gauge , inches, mm 24 0.02 0.51 Your friend

Smokey, a warm welcome to our big corner of ship modelling. 3m! That will be a very impressive ship. Looking forward to see the progress. -
Radek, I think Byrnes thickness sander is available for 220/240 V, just like the saw.

All models from Nordic Class Boats has precut planking.

Mir, first of all, a warm welcome to MSW! If you haven't done any sort of rigging this including rigging plastic kits, which several of them has a very complex rigging, I would suggest to start with a kit without any rigging. Many times just the planking (creating the hull) can be overwhelming. There are a lot of kits that will take you aside from the rigging. Again, a warm welcome!

Derek. I have a E3V2 as well, still in box though. Resin printer is good for very small details. I have received some parts for my 4ft ship (3d printed). Personally I don't see any future need of a resin - at least not yet.

How heavy was that package?

How many tree nails are there?

Floyd, I am so glad you didn't give up. (I hope our conversations has helped you ) You are back overcoming struggles we all encounter when we build our models. I know for sure how hard they can be! Besides, your Medway looks really good. I am happy you continued!

@mtaylor, Mark this is a standard way to address a person directly in a specific topic. It works in various scenarios.

I bought that deck for my Connie (waiting in the yard - box), to me it has to much color. Don't know if I am going with that or the Vallejo Wood paint kit.

Henke, Is there any indication of where the slots is to be on the drawings? It might be that your chess tree piece is just oversized. Knowing where the slot is on the plans and you should be able to sand the piece to correct size. Or create a new piece from scrap wood using the measurements from the plan. Good luck and I know you will find your way to make this correct. Lycka till!

Looking good! After a couple of times with the airbrush you will get hand of it. I worked with plain water to learn spray patterns before going to paint itself.
-
Juhu, That is a very nice build log you have created. And the build of her is beautiful. Looking forward seeing the rigging.
-
Neal, That's not good! I hope your small resin machine will come together and do what it's supposed to do.

Beautiful material!
