I sent you the link to the book in a PM, the link can also be found a few posts before, on page one of this thread. The sails took a little to do, but I never hurry building models [:D] I have sewn the partitions between individual cloths and the edges with a machine, and then did the corners and fastened the boltrope (I remember it again!) by hand. The “rat tails” for partially furling the sails were a pain to do, good there’s not so many of them. Patience, well I guess so… But it’s like muscle strength, it gets better with training.
I really like your build of the M48 Patton tank from your website! Whose kit is it and and what and whose detail parts were used on it? I’m assuming the barrel is from Barrel Depot. I also like the paint job, it’s not over weathered as most armor and artillery was not back then. Has the prognoses improved for the full recovery of your cat. I have forgotten to inquire about that and I do hope that he is improving.
This is getting a little off-topic, but thank you very much! I’m just not sure which one do you mean, because I got two of them babies on my website. The big one, in 1:35:
And no, I didn’t use aftermarket barrels in any of them. I’ve got build summaries on both of them, if you scroll a little down the page.
As for my cat, I’m glad to inform you he’s doing better - slowly but constantly. The doc said the progress the cat made changed his opinnion and maybe the next surgery wouldn’t be necessary. So now the cat is walking on his own, at the moment with a noticeable limp, but still has a chance of full recovery - just needs time.
Sorry, it took me so long to respond. I did check out the book and decided that it was too much for me to spend on a book which I will probably never use again. Thanks for the tip though, I appreciate the tip.
No problem! I got mine in Germany and paid for it like five dollars - at that time I didn’t even have any sailing ship project going on, but at that price I just couldn’t let it go. 300 or more pages and hardbound - dang I could even use it as bookshelf ornament [:D]
