    Thank you Kurt, I found some interesting kits on their website...… but I guess I better finish what I have in my "shipyard" waiting for attention, before dropping the anchor (instead of pulling the trigger) for one of their kits.

    I stumbled over this manufacturer located in the US, in Tennesse to be exact. The name is Iron Shipwrights and they seem to make very nice resin kits, most of them are coming with PE parts (no need to buy other sets). Just wondering if anyone has experience with their products?

    Just amazing and beautiful rendering, what software did you use?

    Wayne, first of all, a warm , As for card models, they are great as you don't need much of tools. Just make sure the scissor and knife are super-sharp, because it will be necessary. Start a build log - with pictures and text. She will be an interesting build I like to follow. I placed an order the other day from JSC and their communication service is outstanding. My order was shipped out today, Tuesday 30. Am looking forward to do some "carding".

    I have used a Festool vac at a Woodcraft location, I truly want one! They are quiet and very efficient! And the hose is so very flexible. Here is a link to them. https://www.woodcraft.com/products/dust-extractor-ct-15-e-hepa-festool?via=573621bd69702d0676000002%2C576455d369702d2f2f0013a2%2C5764562a69702d2f2f0013a6

    Perfect! Those pads are great to use. But they have to be cleaned, still easy to scratch the surface if they have any dirt on them. Oh btw, let the paint cure for at least 72 hours before any buffing commence.

    Thank you Bill and Louie, for stepping up and helping with good recommendations when it comes the restoration. It's not easy when seeing the ship only by pictures. This is what Modelshipworld is about.

    Outstanding paintjob! To buff the painted area use 6000 grit and water then with feather weight pressure get that shine!

    Hi Ric, and a warm welcome to MSW. Syren as mentioned is probably one of the more popular models to build. I also have one going.

    Lou, I am using ACDsee Video Studio to create the time lapse. It's fun and also takes you through the build in another way. But building it in 47 seconds..... not really rather 7 days, including long breaks.😄

    Hope this will work, this is a time lapse build of the metal earths USS Arizona. Small parts and tricky but I got the last parts together last night at 2am. Here's a penny in front of the finished model. USS Arizona timelapse.mp4

    Oh my, that's coming together very nicely. You really got the crew to look natural.

    The paint job on my yacht wasn't done by me, I had an auto body shop with paint both doing it for 50 dollars excluding the cost of primer, paint and clear coating. I couldn't have done that nice job myself. That being said, using Krylon spray can product shows that you are really good at painting.

    True Blue is a great name, and in my opinion a neutral too. I would have given my RC sailing yacht that name, hence the color, unless I had promised my wife to name the yacht after her. Mary II

    Henrik, It's kind of funny, my sons' name Henrik and I his cousins are calling him Henke, even though that isn't his true first name. Your "Aggy" is coming together nicely.

    Jim, Very nice build log. What's next to build?
  17. Nirvana
    Hi Uwe, and a warm welcome to MSW, we do have a gallery where you can post your finished models. Finished models are being rotated at the top-bar. So, please upload them and describe models, any story around them - but no build logs, thank you. Start a build log of your current ship and when running into troubles start asking questions, we are here to help.
  18. Nirvana
    Kyak, We are so sorry that your log got accidentally deleted, we have moved and tagged thousands of build logs. Any deletion is pure accidental, not on purpose. Again, we are sorry for this mistake.

    I truly like the white deck caulking. Makes it looks so crisp and clean. What caulking did you use? You have to be extreme careful when it comes to the varnish of the deck so it doesn't dissolve the caulking.
  20. Nirvana
    I am so glad you got this model. You have done a fantastic job of recovering her. She needs a special place in the house to honor your father.

    Hi Michael, We have re-organized the build forums to it's easier to build logs, now it's categorized by time-era. I found your log and saw you haven't posted anything since the painting of the hull. Just checking in and hoping to see an update. Enjoy your summer.
  22. Nirvana
    Henke, Just checking in with you and the progress of HMS Hood. I know the summer is killing warm in Sweden, my native country. And you might enjoying time out on the water rather than the workshop. Enjoy your summer and we are all curious about the diorama.

    Hej ubjs, welcome to our world and nice start of Danmark. You are one of very few building Danmark, so your build log will be an asset for our build log bank. One of the kits on my shelf waiting to build Danmark. So I am looking forward to follow along with yours. I see a section build in the background, please let us know more about it and start a build log of it as well.

    David, my hat off to you and your great looking Bluenose, she is a beauty and easy to build. Even though mine has stalled for the moment. I really like what you did regarding the deadeyes.

    Nicolas, warm welcome to MSW.
