Medy, Are you making those models from scratch or is it kits, or maybe by order from customer? Very nice models, you even got the black marble top. -

Great, looking forward seeing a final kit. -

Medy lin, warm welcome to MSW, those yachts and ships are extraordinary. We have very few modern ships here at MSW, so these are very nice to see. Thank you. -
Converting a Backyard Shed into a Model Workshop
Nirvana replied to Hank's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Hank, creating a work space takes longer than you think. Besides there is a lot of planning involved too. When do you think you will be done? -
However, you creations are as I said before, really nice. I have been working with Fusion360 and still prefer the regular planks and sticks for my models.

He's also a MSW member but haven't been here in a long time. He has the longboat, syren and amatis Endavour (large kit) stalled.
-
Aah, that's the one Naval Action - but anyway he is lost in that world😄
-
No, he is very much into Age of Sail, and has the highest rank and helping out when others having issues.

Robby, I meant this is in a fun way.... I was writing it from the ships perspective.... think of the ship as a child, as they grow there will be more challenges with them, same applies to our models.
-
Martes, Your skills with the creation of age-of-sail ships are real good, now I know why a friend of mine is not building models at all but playing the game instead. I have been bugging him to get back to the building table to no avail.
-
Now, now Robby, Be nice to the ship 😁, it's growing because you're gaining experience. Buccaneers has that tendency. Seriously, you are doing a great job. It's looking good from my perspective. Be patient and go slow.

Mike, I have two of the top one and yes they are very helpful. Something I have bought at flea-markets that also might be very useful is the fly tying vise. I don't have this one specific just got an image from internet.
-
Mike, I just finished reading through your build log, even with the "hickups" you had along the way (and you're not the only one having them, 😉 you have created a beautiful version of Enterprise. Glad you got the sails rigging "under control" .

Robby, That's nice deck planking. Well done.
-
Robby, Welcome to MSW. I am looking forward of this build, and regarding your question about staggering the planking. The plans or instruction should say something about it.

Vahur, Byrnes Machines are selling directly to user - in the long run cheaper for you at the end. It may take longer time to get the machines. When you buy from them you will have 100% support.

SkiBee, Warm welcome to MSW and great start on the longboat. This one is surely one of the popular kits to build. Not to big, great challenge but not overwhelming. I will follow along - have already pulled up a chair, now I trying to find the popcorn and something to drink.
-
Beautiful build, I like seeing a model of a yacht that still are being used on open water. The case is a masterpiece itself.

Jim, Did you just receive 800 units of 120volt motors?
-
Axel, Planking both side at the same time. Yes, it's highly recommended this due to get planks uniformed, but also to avoid any possibility to warp with bulkheads. However, if you are confident enough like Henrik it shouldn't be any problem. As of stand for the final ship, there's a company in England, Cornwallmodelboats.com that carries what you are looking for. Henke, your Agamemnon is turning into a real ship. And yes they will get heavy. Make sure you did add support inside on the false keel for the stand.

New to MSW, Tom from The Netherlands
Nirvana replied to Articcie's topic in New member Introductions
Tom, Warm , Based on your previous builds specially in the RC boats, the Victory would be a great ship. She is grand ship. I haven't built any ship of that caliber, so when it comes to manufacturer ….. don't ask me. I know other will pinch in and guide you. Here's something funny for everyone, how Tom greeted at the end, Nog een fijne dag (Dutch) , ha en fin dag (Swedish) is so close. Tom, this one is for you, Ha en fin dag! -
Miquel, warm welcome to MSW. As for your username, if you have issue of changes, please reach out to any of us moderators through a pm with username. We can change it for you. As for Dannebrog, I have drawn a blank in the search online to find any instructions. Although I am surprised that BB didn't have any records left. I found that one of members back in 2010 did a build of Dannebrog, unfortunate we suffered a huge server crash in 2013 where we lost majority of data.
