Thank you. -
At what temp are you baking the rope? And for how long? Placed my rope rocket order last Tuesday.

Since I am into music I found this Youtube by accident. This guy seems to be making custom guitars but once again happy.

I have been finding reviews of the Byrnes table saw over and over again. One of our member has recently posted this one. It surely convinced me to buy the saw! Thank you Olha for a fantastic demo!

You should be able to upload the pictures from your phone gallery to a build log, no matter your type of phone.

Olha, Now this is not fair! lol With your skills you make it look so effortless. I definitely need to get my soldering skills to improve. I agree with Ryland, I enjoy watching your build log videos. Stunning work.

Tom, very nice build of the St Roch. I do understand your frustration with planking this as BB's instruction leaves out a lot of information of how to do. Glad to see pictures of the real one too. Which model of Bowers & Wilkins speakers do you have?

Tom As for compressor - buy one with a tank, having the tank will provide you a constant pressure of air flow, as for brand it's not so necessary to buy a "brand name". Now for the airbrushes, three of the top notch name are Badger, Iawata and Paschee. Here is the general consensus - higher price tag better quality and performance. Look at our sponsor USA Airbrush Supply, this should give you an indication of what to go for even in the UK. Good luck with your selection. I am using a generic compressor without tank with Iawata and Paschee airbrushes.

Creating the skylights involved a lot of light hand work. I used my shaver type blade of saw, cut down into the frame work and added the brass strings. I used a tine spot of CA to glue them into place. The strings doesn't look straight in close up, The Proxxon vise became handy here, once glued I used the vise and pressed all the strings into place. After hand the brass strings looks over-dimensioned. At least at close up. From a distance it isn't to bad.

Did a try with soft plastic and CA with wood. I am surprised! It sticks! I did my trial with the type of soft plastic covering containers from the bakery of your store. Now here is the question: What type of blue to use? I am using Vallejo paint, and have several blues. Guess a sample plate with all the blue has to be done. The blue appears different on clear plastic versus wood.

What primer?
Nirvana replied to Brewerpaul's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
There are great acrylic primers as well. However, I used Rustoleum white primer on my Bluenose before airbrushing with Vallejo paint. No problem for me. Yes, the primer gave the surface the feeling of a fine sandy beach, but after using a 400 grit sandpaper the surface was good for painting. -
I have the answer for you, according to page one of the instructions those number are related to deck frame numbers.

This is looking so good, makes me miss Sweden and the archipelago. Following with sincere interest.

Back in the 80's a friend of mine had an R4. After one evening and early morning on our way from the "dancing the night away", he suddenly had the "umbrella handle" in his hand. Even with four people it did fine. Wasn't the rocket after a red-light stop. I think all Renaults and Citroen had their quirks and special electronical issues. Mike, now back to your 2CV. Oh btw, here is a sketch of the motor-bay.

Mike, That Tamiya box says "functional suspension" - I am intrigued how that system works. Build log will tell.

From one Per to another Per, Bedste Velkommen to MSW. You certainly have some ship modelling skills. Scratch building Dannebrog shouldn't give you any problems. I have BB's Danmark which is not started - will wait with it until my ship yard has space for it.

Brad, I just want to concur with others and start with a warm , Using the towel technique, worked out for you. That's great. Make sure that all bulkheads are squared to the false keel. Once that is done, make blocks to fill in-between the bulkheads this will help to straighten the false keel and help you along the way when it comes to planking.

Salem, Warm , Do you use a PC? Well, in that in that case it's just to transfer the information from the DVD to USB and take it to a print shop. They will provide you with all needed prints and you will have the video instructions on DVD. The kit itself is very nice what I have heard. A quick search gave me this: Swift Maybe to some help.
-
Bob, thank you for the constructive comment. You certainly have a good point there. I am going to to try that idea.

Bonus for you tonight - the progressing full moon.

Regarding the bars on the skylight window, I tried this out using thin thin brass wire. The inner opening is 14 mm, so I added 10 wires. With the macro photo none of the strings are straight, but from 2ft / 36cm I have a hard time to tell. I will try to straighten them out a little more. My idea of this setup is: double sided tape - lay the strings down - matching about 1.5mm on center. place the frame down on top add glue - press all the pieces into place, using a cover plate and lots of weight Will this turn out okay? Once it's done - I will know

Genny, from Pacific North West with a greeting. I am also looking forward to follow your build log.
-
, I would suggest to read through the link provided by Mark. There are several easier kit that doesn't have complicated planking. Patience and more patience is what you need.

That is just beautiful, giving that material some patina for aging and would be able to fool me saying it's and old mark.
