ikkypaul Posted March 6, 2018 #6 Posted March 6, 2018 Welcome from NZ too. With your experience of some model building I m sure you will enjoy the voyage - could have said the journey, but that doesn't sound all that appropriate. Paul geoff and mtaylor 2

mtaylor Posted March 6, 2018 #9 Posted March 6, 2018 Welcome to MSW, Richard. Yes, the finished product can seem daunting but it's really just a series of "mini-models" that are built and then assembled together. Look at it that way it won't seem so complex. paulsutcliffe and geoff 2 Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
Jim Rogers Posted March 7, 2018 #10 Posted March 7, 2018 Welcome Richard. What I do for threading blocks is drill them out a little and then stiffen the end of the thread with CA, aka Superglue, and use it as a needle. You will become and expert in a short time. mtaylor 1 Regards, Jim Rogers Damn the Torpedoes , Full speed ahead. Adm David Farragut.

Richard - Jim’s method work but additionally buy some of these needle threaders on eBay - they are a great help. mtaylor 1 Keith Current Build:- Cangarda (Steam Yacht) - Scale 1:24 Previous Builds:- Schooner Germania (Nova) - Scale 1:36 https://modelshipworld.com/topic/19848-schooner-germania-nova-by-keithaug-scale-136-1908-2011/ Schooner Altair by KeithAug - Scale 1:32 - 1931 http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/12515-schooner-altair-by-keithaug-scale-132-1931/?p=378702 J Class Endeavour by KeithAug - Amati - Scale 1:35 - 1989 after restoration. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/10752-j-class-endeavour-by-keithaug-amati-scale-135-1989-after-restoration/?p=325029 Other Topics Nautical Adventures http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/13727-nautical-adventures/?p=422846
