I just told them, get to your positions and get in 😂. It's a simple photo trick everyone can do. I used ACDSee video software to create the sequence. Each move is one frame, then it's just a matter of time of display for the frame. It's a fun feature. I can create a tutorial if someone wants to know how I did it. I won't say mine is the best, but it was my first try.

Dave, I have faith in you. You will finish your Bluenose before me. I also have ideas of scratch building.

Dave, Your deck furniture is looking so much better than mine, I might reconsider my idea of creating them.

Converting a Backyard Shed into a Model Workshop
Nirvana replied to Hank's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
When it comes to paint, I use satin finish. That's both on walls and ceiling. And I would have done just like Hank, use what I have. Paint ain't cheap. In my workshop, one gallon of primer/paint cost 24 dollars. That was the cheapest they had. -

@rexnuktiaor may I call you Rex? Anyway, a warm welcome to MSW, I have never build any Master Korabel but found your build log intriguing. That is small yawl. If this is your first wood model kit you are doing great. Personally I would have never started with such a small model. Looking forward to follow your log.

Hank, that looks so good! -
Seven years has passed since the video release. Interesting announcement.

The 18th century longboat is a great choice, delicate in size but so much fun to build. The Medway from Chuck directly is another choice. I have to many to build so that one is out of the question for me.

Greetings from Southern California
Nirvana replied to Allamagoosa's topic in New member Introductions
From PNW a Warm Welcome in these uncertain times. Having a hobby will keep one from insanity. Glad you got back to it. -
I just love the detailing to this motorcycle. The dent in the tank to the turn signal that is being held into place with tape. The instrument panel looks so real, is it just a low milage or has the numbers gone one whole turn? If you wouldn't have had any items in the background to relate the scale I would had thought it was a real bike.

I have been looking at this model from Tamiya many times and been considering to get it. I am a Honda rider, 750 Honda Shadow Spirit from 2007. Love the bike so that is one of the reasons of maybe buying this kit. Again, you are an amazing job with the weathering of details. Looking forward to see the final bike. Are you to make the saddle soft?

From the PNW a warm welcome! If you are a musician and have built this models with your own critical eyes, I know your models will pass. Glad to see you on board and looking forward to your build log of Lady Nelson.
