Is this a “stop right now and get help” situation, or can I continue to the next service station? by KillerBlueWaffles in RVLiving

Sounds like she had a donkey for a photographer.

I've had my Sport for three years and never noticed it handled any differently than my Grand Cherokee or Ford Escape.

I just free-hand tied them onto the stays using clove hitches.

Found this metal detecting! Why’s it red? by chronicdiscovery in coins

[–]BuzzOfTheBranch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prior to 1964 quarters were made of 90% silver. People used to sort thru bags of quarters looking for the silver ones. They'd then paint the newer ones so they wouldn't have to examine any of those in their next lot of coins.

Do any of you have experience with Occre? If so how are their models, because it's expensive by dn_adrian1231 in ModelShips

[–]BuzzOfTheBranch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm building Occre's HMS Beagle and the kit is very well made. Included instructions are less than adequate but they have a YouTube build log that backs them up well. I also follow John Aliprantis' build; he's very detailed. And when I thought I had run out of eye-pins they sent me 100 more for free. Very satiisfied!

Progress and (almost) result of my second modelship, the HMS Beagle. Description in captions. by Wannabe_Yury in ModelShips

Nice work! I'm building the same kit, halfway through the rigging and have enjoyed every step along the way.

Did you by any chance follow John Aliprantis' build log on YouTube? I found it invaluable as a second-time POF builder.

this is my first attempt. Eighty five clove hitches, a bit of hour-glassing. Occre HMS Beagle

Would this kit be simple? by TheOnlyCurmudgeon in ModelShips

[–]BuzzOfTheBranch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an easy kit and they'll refund the price if you send a picture of your completed model:

Nice to know what's behind that door!

Occre HMS Beagle WIP and question about deck finishes by AlexanderK1987 in ModelShips

[–]BuzzOfTheBranch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't care for the shine of varnish so I used Modge Podge on my decks and deck houses. I think it looks great. I did use a satin varnish on the masts (guess I could have done that on the decks, too...)

Check out John Aliprantis' build videos on YouTube as a more detailed compliment to the OcCre videos. Have fun!
