  1. Just an observation: there is never any dust in any of your pictures. Do you have a dust control-system in your workshop, or do you start each day by meticulously picking up all specs of dust from your bench and models by hand? Jan
  2. You learn something new every day. I never realized there was this 'slack' in the antennae. Looks great (as everything you show us does) Jan
  3. Why don’t we see people runing around on the deck. Oh wait, its 1:700 plastic. Looks lery much like the real thing, but those little people can’t move. This is so convincing! Jan
  4. Why this aggressive reaction? James offered a solution as soon as you described the problem. You ignored his solution, and the help offered. That’s not polite behaviour…. From own experience: the forgot-password-funcyion does work. The only time it did not for me was when I changed email without changing it in my profile… Jan
  5. This is pure paint wizardry. Nobody will believe that this started out as a rough lifeless plastic blimp covered in red primer. Al that masking was worth the effort! Jan
  6. Sanding it again helped to give the surface less of a 'plastic' look. Just to get the scale right: what is the lenght of this blimp? Is it around 10 inch, or even smaller? Jan
  7. I was wondering: what will be the finish of all this: will it be painted, or will you leave (some of) the metalwork unpainted? jan
  8. We have a non-ship subgroup. It is small, but perhaps theycan give you a ‘place to be’ for aircraft-builders. @realworkingsailor Andy, do you have a suggestion? Jan
  9. At https://www.die-kartonmodellbauer.de/forum/index.php?thread/14732-sms-sleipner-t97/ spotted the first log. the turtleback is a tricky part indeed. Jan
  10. Sure I follow. Don’t bother the speed: as soon something shows up, I read the post. Mars is turning out nicely. one question: are upu sure the tips of the ‘zalingen’ are pointing upwards? I was expecting ‘backwards’: the holes are for the iron-work of the deadeyes to pass through. Jan
  11. I read in a German formum that the site-owner has died last summer. His family has shut down the business and the website that was connected to it. Jan
  12. Quite a lot of fiddly bits coming together. I have a question on your ‘build sequence’: in most kits the deck is glued to the hull before the remaining stuff is put on. Getting it on before is helpfull in case hull or deck (or both) are warped, and a lot of rubber bands are needed to close the gaps. Hooe your deck fits without brute force….. Jan
  13. This is the scheme I remember most Although having seen this plane many times, I actually never noticed how small those wings are (my eyes probably a bit detracted by the large wingtip fueltanks) The model is coming together nicely. Jan
  14. In vase you want something different: kolderstok is about to launch a cross section of a Dutch Pinas. I have seen the prototype (in real life, not just a pic), and it’s really nice one. https://kolderstok.com/blogs/nieuws Perhaps @*Hans* can tell us when it will be released Jan
