Rodolfo, a warm welcome to our world of modelling. I will keep my eyes open for the build log. It will be an interesting build that I like to follow.

Hank: I am to install Mistubishi Inverter unit, sure it's more money but that way the moisture build up will end up on the outside and not in a tank.

Tom, that's an outstanding kit, so beautiful done with all the detailing. 

Wish the cameras could be as small as a micro led light, because it's a shame to have those details hidden.
Having a tablett right next to the model and being able to click through the various compartments. 

One question: What software do you use for the process of creating her?

Thanks again!

Very nice job Justin.

I used my dremel for the belaying pins as well, very tedious and difficult job. But yours looks so much better than mine.

, greetings from WA.

Here's a link to the museum in Norway regarding Viking ship.

JS, a low progress is better than no progress, besides this ensures a better eye for details and perfection. 

Good seeing you back at "Connie".

Anyone know the auto restore series on the Tv  where the same team take in cars and restore them back to the owner  - there was a really nice Mustang  they did up in one of the programs.

 

OC.

Either Overhauling  or Counting Cars could be the program, probably the latter.

I better chime in and say Welcome to our World.

Byrnes machines are so quiet, I have the thickness sander and very happy with it.

Nick, those decals can be struggle.

Nice job of painting the speed dial. What type of brush did you use?

Didn't see that. Why price in dollars and have a European voltage motor?

Weird. Well, I have to say it. "I'm alright, Jack, pull up the ladder" <G>

Martin, 

When it comes to whole good sales, most transactions are done with USD.

@Bob Clerk, 

Minimum quantity 100 units!

Not sure what industry you are/have been working in, but as a German I am almost inclined to take a bit offence at these wholesale comments on German design. I gather some industries do quite well and have turned out products that are still in use 100 years after their manufacturing (I am thinking e.g. of my watchmakers lathe).

Wefalck, you are absolutely right.
One of the true good things that came out from Germany after two tragic wars has been the manufacturing and the high standard of quality.
My first watch, given to me on my 7 birthday from my fathers-fathers, was a German made. It was so accurate that even later on the digital was far behind.

And if the German design and engineering is poor, why is that people all around the world would like to have a BMW, Audi or Mercedes just to mention that industry. 

Here's a funny twist, but somehow the Ford manufacturing in Europe had a higher quality standard set than in USA.
Loved my Ford Escort MK3 and my Ford Escort Cosworth, miss them today.

There's nothing wrong with some Chinese products, but quality has never been considered as the first point of interest.

Just my two cents.

Now back to table saws.

Nice dash, 

I am to use Valejo paint and airbrushing.

I have a Proxxon FKS/E previous model of the 37070 FET saw. Works well but doesn't have long rip fence as Byrnes which can create weird cuts if you don't pay attention.

The nice thing with the saw of mine it has a speed regulator going from 4400 to 680 rpm, and it's "Made in Germany".

But I do have my eyes set for a Byrnes table saw and disc sander.

Nick, I have AMT 1965 Ford Mustang, 1/16 scale.
And I was thinking making her red as well.

A friend of mine has a real 1966 with original 302 engine. Red with red interior, so I was going to base my model from his car.

Nice start by the way.
Are you to add on etched parts? 

Hank, do you have a local lumberliquidator or one somewhat close? Many times they have overstock or non-sellable quantities you can get for the cents to a dollar.

I got 100 sq.ft laminated 10mm flooring for less than 30 cents per sq.ft.

These sales are not posted. You have to make a visit directly. Just an idea. Or go with real vinyl flooring, one whole piece to glue down.

Personally I would go with laminated.

And stay away from glue down or sticky vinyl tiles. They are just a pain.

Kenna and Ron, I like to give you a Warm Welcome to Ship Modelling.

Kenna, you are in good hands with such supporting father.... and where both of you get stuck, reach out to us - create a build log first - and we will try to help as best as we can.

A friend of mine built the Golden Hind with fantastic result and search within our logs for other Golden Hind builders.

All the best to you.

Hank,

Aren't you looking forward to start creating some dust in that beautiful area?

What does "SO" mean? Not familiar with that abbreviation.

 

Hank

SO means Special Officer, can be used in many areas both military and civil.

Beautiful done! I am jealous!

Velkommen Gaffrig, 

I am building Bluenose but the version of ModelShipway.

Modelling being addictive, oh yes it is.

Chris Coyle was spot on in that matter, but there is therapy help within our group if needed, just see below.

Currently I haven't seen any new patients.😉

Alan, I don't know if I welcomed you to our "World".
Well I am impressed, if you know Norm Abram and has built furniture for a long time, this will be easy for you.
Having a workshop like yours must be a dream. 

Hank, what type of flooring are you going for?
