One tip for the bender. Don´t use to much force to bend. The quality of the soldering iron is not the best and the plastic will break.
The handdrill is one of my bests friends. Every hole on my La Belle he did.

I looked one time too many... and I purchased the ZHL San Felipe just now! Hoping to get it in the near future so I can open it and look at all the goodies...ha ha! Have to finish the Cazador Xebec first, but it will be on the batters deck, so to speak!

Good Morning
Found this old kit for sale and just love it. Colorful history of this ship made it a must have.

The St Roch is a very interesting vessel and model - I am looking forward to see your building log later on....
But also @Dean62 , wonderful kit - so also here we hope, that you start a kit review and a building log after your Xebec......

You bet, I will do a build log. Still waiting to get some kind of tracking info. Not sure how long it will take to get here?

Good, that I am not the only one
BTW: a warm welcome here on board of our forum.....

with all of the modeling toys we all need bigger tool boxes. . . or bigger spaces to lose things within. . . where did I put that down a few minutes ago????? Oh, right under my nose. PT-2

I have the Dremel Moto Saw, it is my favorite cutting tool use it constatly, and have never broken a blade, for thicker pieces like on my Blanford, 1/4 in Natural Pear, I use my large scroll saw also a Dremel got it about 15 years ago, it also is a GREAT MACHINE, once you get used to the Moto Saw you will be happy with it. Don

The main problem is blade tension- experience and Utube very helpful

Nice to have added a commentary to each book. Thanks, Rich (PT-2)

I have decided to forgo my current card bismark in favour of a new build with laser cut frames which will make the build a whole lot easier.

 

[MM2CVS9]

I've never tried a card model. Are you going to post a build log? I would love to see how it's done.

Princess Auto had a great deal on these clamps ($12). Also purchased small magnets 1/4x7/8 inch. They are perfect for immobilizing parts as the glue sets.

I have a good number of the F-Clamps but not the smaller ones and no magnets which were an unthought of idea. Nice. Rich (PT-2)

Found these three in my local recycling centre shop and only £11 for all.
