      or does the Myhobbystore link, on the right hand side under Competitions (that I have never won, not bitter at all!!!!!),  take anyone else to the Dolls house shop?

          Might need fixing, but found a way into the SHOP. Who'ed of thought the button marked "Shop" might take you there as well. Now off to find a faiery.

            I think there are some changes going on at MyHobbyStore. In the meantime do feel free to enjoy the dollies….

                  Thanks Dave. I found the shop link at the top of the page. How experienced does it mean when it says "This project is recommended for those with some experience of building a wooden-hulled model using these highly detailed and comprehensive CAD drawn plans?"

                  I have only built two so far, so not really experienced as such. Reading the article it does seem quite straight forward though. Just worried I would not be able to read the plans and cut the bits required from them.

                    Sheet 2 has all of the ply parts drawn exactly full-size so you can trace them onto the wood. Liteply cuts easily with a Stanley knife. The article has a full stage-by-stage 65 shot photo sequence of the build. I've done all I can to make it straightforward to put together. Only you can decide on your abilities.

                      Andy,

                      You should have got your subscription copy of the magazine by now so you can see from part 1 of Dave's article just exactly what is entailed in building the model and decide if you are happy to tackle it. Looks pretty straightforward to me and Dave makes particular reference on how to tackle the compound curves at the bow.

                          Hi Dave

                          Nicely drawn with plenty of space between the parts its a really well produced drawing and a credit to your skills.

                            Just as a matter of courtesy…..Why was my post erased?

                            The typo has not been put right

                              Hi Dave

                              That is great. As Paul says lots of room between each frame so I think that will do me. Plan ordered for new project in the New Year.

                              Will just take it slow and steady and see where I get to.

                              Colin

                              I did get my copy in the post as per the usual fantastic service, it was from that that inspired the new build. I was just concern when reading the details on the store. I reckon I should be able to cope. May not be a masterpiece like Dave's one, but will give it a go.

                                Please keep us updated with progress once you've started. If you like, I'll point out all the bloopers I made while building them – it's quite a long list. It really does pay to learn how to paint things properly – that way you can hide a multitude of horrors!

                                Bob

                                I think you'll need to contact Paul Freshney about the typo. Errors in the MHS Plans list are his province, not Colin's. BTW my posting was also erased – tough old life, isn't it?

                                Paul

                                You're very kind……

                                  Errors in the Plans Service are not Paul's province either. I need to check who is currently responsible as there have been recent changes and, to be honest, changing one minor typo in the description is not the first priority in my busy schedule today. (actually there are two typos!) Unfortunately the Plans Service descriptions do contain a number of grammatical and descriptive mistakes and they are corrected as and when somebody draws attention to them.

                                  I removed a number of posts to tidy up the topic as they were not directly relevant and were cluttering it up.

                                  Like Paul, I found Dave's part 1 article on the Huntsman to be very good and an excellent example of how to go about what is a traditional and very satisfying means of model boat construction.

                                    Colin is correct – I have zilch to do with the Plans Service and how it is run. That might seem odd, but that is how it is.

                                    At the moment I send new Model Boats Free and Feature Plans to Beth Ashby who I understand runs the RCME website/forum and is now doing the MHS site and plans service as well. Any queries or complaints received in the editorial office are also just forwarded to her. she is though, very much part-time.

                                      Thank you, Paul F

                                      There is something wrong somewhere!

                                      Up till about three weeks ago, I had access to the Online digital archives

                                      Then access ceased

                                      I noticed then, that Pockermags sent me a receipt for £9.99" dated 5th Nov 15

                                      I have not ordered the Digital mag from Pocket Mags…….But I just went along with it….For an easy life

                                      I now read in your post, that the contact for the Modelboats Mag is dealt with by Beth Ashby…….The same person I've been exchanging emails with, this morning?

                                      I have sent an Email to Beth, but she has probably gone home now

                                      Can you make any sense out of this?

                                      I glimpsed the Mag this morning, but no access to the Archives……Then the Mag went into…….Download mode…..To date, only 30% has downloaded in about 8 hours!

                                      If you can't help, I'll sort it out with Beth, no problem

                                      Bob

                                        I don't get this!

                                        Beth has just referred me to Pocket Mags

                                        Anyone……..Why is the Pocketmags copy of Modelboats Mag activated and the MB website copy inoperative

                                        Who authorised IPad to charge me £9.99?…….On this receipt, it had a link for queries……Beth answers!

                                        Beth activates the mag on Pocketmagsand now denies any involvement with Pocket Mags…..I think

                                        This plot qualifies for a Miss Marple or Columbo script!

                                        Am I dreaming…or what?

                                          In my post earlier I referred to the Plans Service and Myhobbystore website. I did not mention subscriptions.

                                          The direct people for subscription queries are:

                                          [email protected]

                                          or

                                          [email protected]

                                          If you email one of them directly, cc the other and include all the information likely to be needed, ie your address, phone number, subs number if you know it,+ to whom and when payment was made, then they should be able to resolve.

                                          As before, I have no access to subscription data (nor want it!), so any emails to me are simply forwarded to those who can assist.

                                            Check your original contract or account details.

                                              Scrap all the chit chat…….The fee has been paid on 5th Nov 15……..Just get me back on the Modelboats Digital system…….By any method

                                                  I'm waiting for a reply from Beth at the moment

                                                  We'll get there, one day

                                                  The Pocketmags magazine download is totally locked up at the moment

                                                  I've had a reply from the sub number people and are looking into it

                                                  They appear to be open till 9.30 pm tonight?

                                                    Sorry, Bob, but isn't Private Messaging the way to go from here? This really doesn't involve anyone else.
