Jim,

The build looks like is's comming along nicely. The base looks good, too.

Oh, and I dig the elephant!

Jim

The elephant, he was there for scale. LOL

That was my grandmothers and I played with it when i was just a little child way back in the early years.

Great progress on your build. I'm also useing gators way of doing water....sorry no shell splashes though.

HHHHMMMMMMMMM............... Jim,

Do we get some more progress reports, I'm curious to see how your coming.

Frank,
I have been workig on my Panzer I lately. BUT!!! I will be getting back on this one this week. I am going to post some new pictures as soon as I get some process. I also added an Etchmate to my tool box, so I can get my masts folded nicely.

Thanks for sticking a match under my butt.

I need to get a PE folding do hicky..............just don't know what brand to go with.

Had I not gotten a very good deal on my Etch Mate, I would have gone with one fo the Hold & Folds from PKM (The Small Shop).

The next step is to try it out on a couple small parts. If I mess them up there is no harm, I also have resin parts for them as well.

Frank, I bought this one and I'm impressed with it.

It seems the workers in the German division of the Adams Shipyards have gone on strike. They are complaining because they claim the owner lost the PE fret for the ship they are building. I told them there was another on order and they still have plenty to do until it arrives, but they won’t listen to me.

I did misplace the PE fret for my D182 build, so until the back up arrives I am DIW.

Well, now I have a hard decision. Pavel at Admiralty Model Works came through with a replacement PE fret for my ship. So now I can either shelve the Scott build that I am moving along with or pick this one back up.

I need to get moving on this one, since the due date is moving up on me at a rapid rate. I might have to lay off the US crew and bring the German crew back for some OT work.
