Alan..Mark..Chris..Tony..Derek Thank you very much for your very welcome and heartwarming words of support. Knowing that I am among fellow modelers such as you only spurs me on more to accomplish my build successfully.. Perhaps one of you could advise me of where I can obtain the solution that is needed for burnishing brass black for the next task in my build. I have tried Cornwall model boats without joy? Any specific title or brand, much appreciated?? Thank you all once again..Top lads all!! Current Builds: Deagostini HMS Victory: Deagostini HMS Sovereign of the seas. Completed Builds: Del Prado: HMAS Bounty: Hachette: RMS Titanic: Del Prado: Cutty Sark...

Good tip there John. I am 57 now (feeling because when i fill in those online surveys I am 1 box away from the end :-) Spent years and still am on a computer keyboard in my work and i am beginning to suffer the results of that. Enjoying your updates and really nice to see you back online as you were in and the start so really nice to see another long termer still updating. Amazing how the years have past by but good to see we can still look back on those older posts and reflect. Hope your build continues well. Tony Happy Modelling

Hi Jonny, That`s a lot of deadeyes there. I feel for you with the problem with your hands and wondered if a wire guillotine may be beneficial for you as there is no having to squeeze on cutter handles just press down on a lever. It has an adjustable gauge so you cut exactly the same length every time up to 65mm and you get a square cut end not pointed as with wire cutters.There are five different wire gauge holes. It has a drilled base also, so it can be fitted to a larger base plate or work bench. I purchased one a while back now and have attached a link for you and a couple of pics of mine. https://www.proopsbrothe...0-15mm-j1002-1428-p.asp
Hope this may be of help. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) delboy271155 attached the following image(s): COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

That cutter looks a nice piece of kit, Derek. I have always had problems with getting a straight clean cut on wire and to be able to cut more than one at a time is also a help. Chris (goddo)
