cknilsson8404 Posted January 5, 2022 #1 Posted January 5, 2022 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 Keith Black, ccoyle, EODGoat and 4 others 7 Quote

Keith Black Posted January 5, 2022 #4 Posted January 5, 2022 CK, welcome to MSW. First off, your group is a special breed, being a former Marine I can't thank you enough for your service. Second, I don't know a thing about the maker but I'm intrigued by the model, is it possible to take a few more pictures and post them, please. mtaylor and cknilsson8404 2 Quote Current Builds: 1870's Sternwheeler, Lula Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: 1880s Floating Steam Donkey Pile Driver Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration

cknilsson8404 Posted January 6, 2022 Author #7 Posted January 6, 2022 @markjay I was unable to figure out how to reply to your comment directly so I hope adding your name this way gets you the message. I am in the east valley (Chandler) mtaylor and Keith Black 2 Quote
cknilsson8404 Posted January 6, 2022 Author #8 Posted January 6, 2022 @Keith Black a few more pics. I have a couple more but for some reason I am getting an error code 200 when I try to upload them. I will try and convert the files and upload at a later time Keith Black, GrandpaPhil and mtaylor 2 1 Quote
Keith Black Posted January 6, 2022 #9 Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) 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.
