Fine Work!! Precise and sharp--like all your modelships....

You are a wood master!!

BTW Alec means ... >> a spanner in the works....<<< => --English saying....

ie a spanner in fine machinery may bring it all to a halt!

You are indeed a master in wood working , superbly done.

Gentlemen!
Don't tell me a master.
I am just beginer df wood working.
Thank you!!

Remove the masking tape on the windows.
Looks better than before.

Great work! Had to bump this topic back up! Any updates?

Yes agreed any up-dates ?

My guess is that the next update will include the handles to the pool ladders and the margarita glasses at the pool bar....

i have problem with my model.
the hull have twisted. there is a 5mm different between front and rear.
i deside to make other one again.

You have my sympathies... that is indeed very unfortunate!


Good luck...

i remake model ship. i 've attach phenol formaldehyde resin plate(20t)on the wood.
it's very strong physically and chemically. but so heavy...

I am very pleased you've managed to keep your sense of humour

i've made body of hull. Bakelite is seen in the hull.
pararell test...front and rear rulers.

Most impressive!!

the model is painted by flat white,hull red,and flat blue.

The next is 7th floor's wall.
there are doors and windows. bond on the floor and press planes.

Great job once again. Very fast too. I'd stop building for half a month after such a drawback with a first attempt! But you're already back where you left with the first attempt. Great job once again! Amazingly clean build so far

i've made windows of 7th floor. the glass made by vinyle flim(green color)

Hold on a cotton picking moment there boy - fantastic work, really coming on into its own now, there is a small question I'd like to ask, I try very hard to make sure when I build everything is clean, not much glue or finger prints, dust and so on. You build is looking 100% spotless, how do you keep it so clean ?

Dear alec...
I useed a tweezers to avoid fingerprint(small parts).
The wood glue is used in a little amont and exessed clue is clean by clothes before when it dry.
