[dockattner]

Those posts look fantastic Paul, could you please show us the cutting tools that you used to shape them,
Best regards John,

Hello John, I actually just made those with needle files. If you are interested in my solution here is the link to the original post on my build report. Perhaps there is something useful there...

I've just started moving my workshop from a rented space into a much smaller space- but very close to home- in fact in the garden. I want to focus less on pay and more on play. This is just the beginning. But I thought that the second picture might be interesting. It's a standard Proxxon saw, but I modified it by buying a second table and fixing a mini jigsaw underneath it - a great space saver and using it upside down means you can see the line you are cutting.

It just arrived today. So far I have been using matte poly as finish. However, I'm seeing great builds using other approaches. I'm intrigued with Shellac, mostly because it is possible to tailor the color either using different grades and/or number of coat. Need to be doing quite some testing before considering.

The last option is Bitumen of Judea for aging... intriguing.

Shellac is a marvelous product that most people don't know much about. My neighbor who use to build fine furniture showed me what is possible with shellac.. It is a very forgiving finish that can be colored and mixed to many shades. When polished correctly it can look matte or glossy or anywhere in-between.

Shellac- They squeeze it out of bugs! Interesting videos on youtube about shellac production .

I bought these beautiful plans a few years ago, and only now I have pulled them out of my library.
They are the Mordaunt, a 4th rated ship in 1/48 scale. 2 sheets of plans, and a limited edition.

I have posted this for educational purposes, and I have a lot more photos of the plans, but will refrain from posting them due to any possible copyright agreement.

I love the fact that they show a man using the head...
I'm sure that's why you noted these pics are for education purposes and for copywrite.
Nice looking ship.

Where did you buy the plans from?

Where did you buy the plans from?

Richard Ensor publications in the U.K. I will probably not build this model, so p.m me if you want to purchase them from me.

I got my supply of polyester rope material for my HMS Granado (anchor cable, messenger, gun and mortar tackles etc.)

It is the first time, that I ordered from Ropes of Scale alias @BenD
and I am extremely happy with the quality and also the service provided.

Many Thanks to Ben

Take a look

















IN addition I git also these two sample cards - will be very helpful for decision for the next delivery - Very good











I am very happy

With Jim @Jimsky experience in mind, I bought myself an original:

It's a 'mm' version because I doesn't need inches.
Regards, Peter

Is this the car with one wheel at the front?

Be careful

Yes It does have 3 wheels but other than that it's completely unconnected with rolling one as that one was engineered to roll easily mine is reliant robin only in name as when mine was built in was by another company only about 16 left so makes this one super rare

 

[DARIVS ARCHITECTVS]

New toy. Hopefully it will result in me losing weight. The tires are as fat as I am. Perfect match.


It REALLY needs a gun mount...

Seriously.. do you Englanders buy vintage Reliant Robins just to crash and roll them? Are there enough of them around for me to get one and try that out?

Here in the USA, these were made by the thousands, then after hundreds of bone shattering accidents, they were made illegal. They flip over forwards and backwards as well as sideways. Still, many people still own them.

I need a bike like that as I live in country with dirt and gravel roads to ride.
