Hey that means we are more gifted when it looks like the boxart!!

I have seen some of these paper models of boats completed Kris and they look really good.

My Hat is off to you....seven years?After a couple the trash bin would of been it's new home.Great result!

"Double the Fun" looking good Sasha.

You keep pushing me to the PTO more and more.Nice!

She came quite Nice Ernie one to be Proud of.

But this should prove an interesting build Dave.

From what I can see John the IP looks great.

Some Nice works Rob looking for more in the future.

You a History Hound Hubert.

Oh they are Rob I did the turret ladders in the end and hand painted them have fun with it and do what pleases You! and do remember breaking one of then and redoing.

Dentist are good at Wooden Ships and PE also that's why I asked.I will say should you dive deeper into 1/350 I did bend the ends of the ladders on the Chikuma i liked the effect.

He's such a Good Dog!Normally I tell Hannah all day "you so bad" She knows I luv her then.

She's looking good Gary carry on.

That's looking awfully Sasweet Gus.

One of the reason I do not post at LSP have to use an outside source here it's easy peasy as most forums open the file and link right out of your folder.

Video is dated 1/14/23 out of S.Florida kinda neat not the big presentation like a lot of builders go for small airfield and such.

Mike you could probably set yourself up for about $150/200 it's a small layout I have if things go bigger got plenty of plans to build a rolling platform for the router.

You are doing some Nice work there Rob sure you are no surgeon?

It(the book) seemed to be what I call a 1/2 as#$ attempt to get a couple of bucks and it did YT videos show more just kind of hard to stop sometimes.I am off to drop off a favor to a friend handicapped husband passed and my Mother in Law to do some maintenance Joe passed some years back.The only way to escape work is to escape Alcatraz .......leave😂

I have most pieces of machinery while some small but a small shop.The two machines I do not have is a lathe(not my cup of tea) and bigger bandsaw to cut linearly instead of using the tablesaw like I did on this piece.When you start cutting wood that is $14 board/foot on up waste becomes an issue.I would like something like this but maybe 8/10" on the vertical this one is six.... https://www.lowes.com/pd/DELTA-13-625-in-9-Amp-Stationary-Band-Saw/1000422245 I did not answer I have a router

I was surprised as hard as the wood was to plane that it really sands easily.here is a pic of the wood after the roman give this 2/3 days to dry then varnish and polish.

Thanks Martin come in to clean up just put the Roman on the base,sanded and another coat of oil looks frigg'in Nice/Pretty.It won't be to long before I mount her once the deck goes in permanently so does the model to the base.

She is starting to get that little more busy appearance to her with some more deck highlights accomplished in the last few days.The three covers on the deck had 6 PE rings applied to each one which simulate bolts around the openings.The book I bought for this build is so contradictory to what Revell says and what other builds imply.The book then also seems to concentrate on one boat and version and nothing else in that regard maybe the book is correct to that One ship.I have applied a light grey wash to the wood areas which helped to show what wash to be grey below the wood also still more work in that area.

in the ole days those use to earn me brownie points......sack time .....now I don't care!😂 But the wife still pesters me often.
