I placed an order from Model Expo ( a SOS advertiser), on 8/11/2021, for $101.65. Got an e-mail on 8/17 saying the order was shipped and a tracking number. As of 9/8/2021 I had not received the package, but my credit card was billed. UPS tracking just said "Label created" and "pickup scan"...

First, I do not really care for sanding. As a professional woodworker, finding the fastest, easiest, most efficient way to bring wood to a prepared finish for stain and lacquer was a never ending, but very important goal. With lots of discussion about removing char, fitting notches etc, both...

I don't have or use a smartphone. I've tried to Copy 9as a (PDF) the chinese characters and paste them into Yandex.Translate, which worked great when I copied some from the SOS bluenose forum posts. I have been unable to copy and paste from a PDF though, so I'm still in the dark. EJ

Starting my build from the beginning - The ordering process was flawless. Just a PM to Heinrich on Dec 5, with a reply the same day. E mails in the meantime kept me up to date on progress. Payment was flawless. Was notified on the 18th that the paypal bill was ready. Paid bill the same day...

Thanks again to Doc for the keel clamp plans. This one is for those that build plastic. I made these to hold hulls while building. The first one supports the hull on threaded rod that goes into nuts epoxied to the inside of the hull. Those nuts will also be used for the finials used on the...

This build started as a commission build, a little over 3 years ago. The fella apparently was a model railroader and wanted a boat to put in his setup. His father owned a lightning, so when he found a kit of one he bought it. It was more than he wanted to tackle though. We met, he had specific...

To continue from another thread, I was asked to post info and pics of my thickness sander. I have all the other stuff from full size to mini size to break down and make model "lumber". I have made California Redwood and Michigan Poplar sticks down to 3/32" square and can do them down to 1/8"...

I'm working on a "Lightning" sailboat and have reached the rigging part. I plan on doing her as she would be at dockside, sails furled/stowed. I have never studied this topic and have very little knowledge of how things work. All the books I looked at have been directed at rigging sailing SHIPS...

Well, I guess this is where to start? Found a piece of nice clear poplar out in the shop. 9/16" X 2 5/8" X 19 5/8". Didn't even have to cut it. Checked it on the cast iron table saw table against warp or twist. Flat as a pancake. Got it marked up. Made two copies of the station mold patterns...

I really like this forum and follow it regularly although I don't post frequently. Odd that this forum / thread came at this time. I guess I'll be the first to make a post here. On Monday 11/18/19, I'll be going in for a triple bypass surgery. Up til about 3 weeks ago I thought and was thought...

Thanks for the invitation. I've been a plastic ship modeler, mostly WWII aircraft carriers. My interest stems from having served on USS ESSEX CVS-9 in the 60's. Been looking at information on building an ESSEX sailing ship and have had some great assistance from guys on your website. I'm gonna...
