Michael Great job you've done. I've got this kit also ready to start later this month. Have you had any fit problems that I should look for ? Did you wire the engine? Like I said looking nice. Rod

Mike Very nice.We'd like to see more of your work. Also welcome to group Rod

Why do I model? What a long story this could be. I startd like others with my dad back and the fifties doing balsa wood planes. He was great he did a lot of scratch build. I always had this facination for ships more than planes especially sailing ships. I left modeling for along time in the 60's and 70's you know all the young man things. The late 80's my family took a trip to the east coast and I keep seeing ship models everywhere for sale (built ones) but I couldn't afford them. My wife suggest I look into getting a kit when we got home and build my own. The rest is history. I love the beauty of ships and the history that goes with them. I do build some cars and a WWI plane now and then but I always come back to my ships. Building relaxes me takes me a way from everyday life. The IPMS has been a real help in my modeling. I joined in 2001 and my local club soon after. Hope that wasn't to boring. Rod

Glenn I work part time for the creator of the Touch and Flow. What the guys said abot getting the last drop out of the needle is correct. I normally just blow on the glass tube til the tube is empty.The needle does get clogged from time to time from the melted plastic.Just stick the needle in the bottle of liquid cement and it will normally melt the little clog, Sometimes you may have to give the tube a little blow. Myself I prefer the Ambroids glue over the Tenax. The Tenax runs a little to hot for my liking. Thanks for using the Touch and Flow its a great tool. Rod
