Hello to MSW from Herby63


Recommended Posts

Hello to all members of MSW.

I have been foloming this forum for some time now.

 

I make models of historic sailingships (for which I am not afraid to do a little kitbashing) as well as models of "sailing" ships if one can say that of a ship with motors and propellers.

My most recent build is an operational Trumpeter 1/200 DKM Bismarck with realisticaly turning turrets and elevating barrels of the main armament, a little lighting and turning radarunits of which i put a build log here:

Trumpeter 1/200 DKM Bismarck - R/C-conversie - werfregister | ModelbouwForum.nl

Text is in dutch, my mothers tongue, but pictures say more than a thousend words.  :)

 

My next project will be a static model: the Merit International 1/200 Japanese Battleship Mikasa 1905 with full Pontos upgradeset.

 

I hope to get some inspiration on techniques on this splendid forum.

 

Kind regards.

Hi Herby and welcome to Model Ship World.  You did a nice job on your Bismark and also a nice build log.  I was glad to see the Bismark in the water.  I would be afraid that if I built one, it would sink.

Most browsers have a feature to translate text to the user's default language. Looks pretty clear to me. Nice job on Bismark!

Thanks for the reply, but my problem is that I don't see a tab "signature" in the account settings.

Hi Sjors,

I think I know hou too  :)

The page you see is what I get after clicking "acount settings".  I think I need new spectacles, for I don't see "signature", only a list of 7 options starting with "Overview" en ending with "Content view Behavior" :(  So where did they hide "Signature"?

 

Greetings,

Herby

Herby,

 

Did you ever sort out the problem with not being able to find the signature option? I've just joined and can't find it in account settings either.  Have tried on different devices are browsers too.

 

thanks

Dave Wood
