  1. As I have this in the stash I will be following with much interest, thanks for the info on the Eduard PE. Hopefully we can find the Mk1 on sale somewhere. Looking forward to the other part of this build.
  2. Welcome aboard, your work looks very nice. Looking forward to seeing your next build, hopefully it will be a builders log.
  3. Gis, apparently you have read my mind. I am going to start the MIKASA when I finished building the Zvedas' Oriol, Suvorov, and Borodino, yup building all three at the same time. Bad move on my part! Back to the MIKASA I will be using the Eduard set, 1905. when it arrives. The only difference between the two is the addition of the masts. However, with that said I am sure some one will correct a very naive modeler. Enjoy the weekend and the build.
  4. John, thanks, it is a very interesting concept. I'll give it a try on the next build.
  5. Good Morning Jon, the best I can do for you right now is to direct you to: Red Oak Victory The first three (3) photos show where the name board is located on that type of ship. If my memory is correct, I have seen O'brien's name board in the same locations. The name board was oblong not with the corners cut out. The name boards were located on the uppermost deck attached to the railing on the port, starboard, aft, and forward.
  6. Jon, well you pick the one thing that I do not have a photo of, however, I know what you are 'talking' about. Let me check a few things out and get back to you.
  7. Jon, you are welcome, I have other photos not yet posted, let me know if there is a particular item you are looking for. Have an enjoyable weekend.
  8. If you are looking for more photos I hope these help. OBRIEN Drawing up the chair and will be following.
  9. Grabbing a bag of popcorn and dragging the chair up to watch. Looking good so far, much better than I can do.
  10. Hello Steve. Yes Arnold is correct in his guess. When the Iowa was towed from San Francisco to LA. The tow chain, which in this case, was the actual anchor chain. One end was wound around the casptan, then held in place with three(3) or four(4) stoppers on the Iowa passed through and directly attached to the tug. I have photos, unfortunately, I am unaware of how to post them.
  11. Hello David, and welcome to ship modeling. If you would like to see an in-progress build of the HOOD using the Pontos set, watch Steve on You Tube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfkPhaBJc0F6h5F1FzAM32Q/playlists I have the Big Ed sets and even those are intimating! Good luck, have fun and take your time to enjoy the build.
  12. We are all wishing you a quick and complete recovery.
  13. Getting the popcorn, drawing up the chair. Looking forward to your build, which looks really nice so far.
  14. John, love the work on the machine guns. Looking forward to following your progress, which by the look of the guns, will be impressive.
  15. Your welcome, please give us an update on your adventure.
  16. Well, it depends how much money you are willing to spend. The conciseness is that the KA/MK1 detail set ($330.00 US) is better than the Pontos set. Then there are the 'Scale The Titanic' 3D (thru Shipways upward to $250.00 US) and their photoetch sets, no longer available (temporarily or permanently unknown at this time $300.00+ US). Then there are other Shipways 3D products $250.00+ US. As for the jigs for drilling out the portholes those are manufactured by Nigel in England, he also makes internal bracing to address the hull warp-edge. I would recommend you watch the his Youtube videos for more information to your question. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4khtUfadv0Hnzcwplt9Tn4dO_hqk1Z4B Good luck in your quest. There is a large amount of products and information concerning the model, do not become bogged down in the minutia build it the way you want and most importantly have FUN.
  17. I understand about making a build more complicated. I'm always saying that my next build will be only be an "Out-of-the-box". Yah right! A third of the way through I have a bright idea (DUMMY), and then six months later I'm only half way completed.
  18. Yup, attaching the barrels can be a pesky task. Looks like you did a superb job.
  19. Hello Jon, Looking forward to tagging along.
