I'm a former LE/MIL 8404 Corpsman - I am a new Metalsmith looking for knowledge and hoping to assist my Nephew in an heirloom restoration of a very large Modelismo Naval ship that was my fathers.  What I can determine by the plate inside the ship was crafted by a Portuguese Master Shipbuilder with the last name of Hernandez

Welcome to MSW.   When you're ready, open a log in the scratch area with the keyword "Restoration" in the title.

 CK, thank you for downloading these and I look forward to seeing more. Thank you.  

 

 The error code you got is a ongoing problem a lot of us have been having as of late. I think most of us work around the problem by downloading photos till we get the error code and then save the post. We then edit the post and download the remaining photos. 

 

 Edit is in the more options (three dots) at the top right next to the post number.
