I usually post on NRG’s Model Ship World. But discovering a new e-venue for ship modelers is great source of new ideas!
Your blog has already helped more than you know!
I cannot consider watching my grandchildren as work, hence a better alias might be - busygrandpa. LOL But I will reconsider your suggestion.
Enjoy, before you know they will have their driving license.
YOU BET JIM, THEY GET OLD FAST, YOU WILL ENJOY THE ROLL AS A GRANDPA, as I always say A GRANDPARENT HAS THE LUERY OF SPOING THEM THE GOING HOME AND LEAVING MOMMY AND DADDY TO CLEAN UP. Don
Hi Jim,Here is a simple CA applicator made in 5 minutes from a sewing needle using a rotary tool and cut-off disk. First, cut the thread insert a quarter from the end, just enough to make an opener. Using the same disk smooth both sides about 45 degrees make it a knife like. That's it! Oh... made a nice handle for comfort!

Happy Modelling!
You've got some brilliant ideas for tools and techniques in your posts - particularly like this one!
Ted
Thanks, Ted! In spite of the fact that ideas are not mine, I believe that everyone can use them. We learn from each other!
Jim,@tedboat Thanks, Ted! looking at your build models gives me a ton of inspirations - a room to strive for!
You don't have to strive for anything - you are already there!
Ted
YES HE IS. Don
Oh...Ted and Don, you are so kind! I've got a lot to live up to! I have never build a model from scratch. Something I want to accomplish in the near future and your work is a great inspiration.

Thank Willy!! All decorations are came with the kit, except for carvings on haws holes and cathead supported knees (my own carvings try). The figurehead presented but didn't attached yet. Not sure what kind of animal it is 
I will post later today when i come home from work.

@schifferlbauer Hi Willi, as promised here is the figurehead, it is not gilded yet, as I don't know if I will use it or try carving my own.
Carving your own, no discussion about that ofcourse.

G'day Jim, I think that the figurehead is a Griffin,Thank Willy!! All decorations are came with the kit, except for carvings on haws holes and cathead supported knees (my own carvings try). The figurehead presented but didn't attached yet. Not sure what kind of animal it is
