    Nice to see them all marching into place, Per.  Now what spell did you use to get them to do that?  :)

    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.

    Thanks for the warm welcome! First forum I've been on where people are literally from all point on the globe. Pretty cool. Yes Jim, I realized much too late that the nails are out of scale, and there were better ways to do this. I had the hull done before I found the post with the .05 pencil lead inserts. I really like that look. I recently read Chuck's "beginner" thread. I of course wanted to start a Bark next, but my experience with this build and Chuck's sage advice suggests that the 18th century Longboat may be a wiser choice. I would get a chance to use that pencil lead technique. I do have a question, how does one tie the peak halyard to the center of the line that runs on top of the gaff  from one end to the other? It looks like a seamless attachment with no knot, so I suspect there is a special technique.

    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.
     

  3. 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.

  4. 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?
