  1. Congratulations on your results on the show. Was that "Best in show" for the Sedlitz/Zeppelin or "Peoples Choice"? Either way, well deserved.
  2. Got all caught up on this tonight Brad, This is going to be and impressive ship when you get her in the water, as well as on the shelf. It is not easy to cover both worlds but from what I see you will do it easily. What is also nice is that you already have a tug in the same scale to help with ship handling! Looking forward to future installments.
  3. I have done this as well for a couple of my 1/24 early Ferrari's, even though they were from kits you used to be able to buy. It is not easy to do even from a kit. Yours turned out great, congratulations.
  4. Welcome Igor I am looking forward to seeing your work. Is there any chance you live close to Cherkasy? I have a close friend who grew up and lived there but is currently in the US. слава україні
  5. Great work. I will find following your site with interest. слава україні
  6. Haven't been around lately for a number of reasons but catching up on this build in a binge read was worth it.
  7. There are a few useful things the older generation can still do in our old age other possible infirmities, and advice on how to survive society is high on the list. Sometimes "Been there, done that and came out the other side" is a powerful persuader. I think she will be in good hands.
  8. My sympathies are with you. It took me almost a month to empty out and furnish our third floor to make it into a studio apt for our Ukrainian house guest and her son to live. Made my older grandson jealous when we were done! But we had offered it to him years ago and he chose the guest bedroom closer to the kitchen instead. Too late now! Thanks for the measurement of the base. Now I know how much space to clear to make room in my house!
  9. Back in 1979 we had almost the same situation here in our area north of Seattle. Back then we had a few hobby shops but little else to support the model boat fans. There was a relatively small club of primarily static ship builders that met monthly in Seattle but little else that we knew about. I happened to run into another RC boater while running my boat one weekend and we decided to hold a regatta for RC boats on our local pond. We posted flyers in all of the local hobby shops but on the day of the event still had no idea how many would show up. It ended up raining that day as well, but we still had over twenty five boaters show up that we didn't even know existed! That event lead to the eventual establishment of the Northwest RC Ship Modelers that still has about 80 members and has meetings and events every month, and even more on some months. This all started with only two guys who happened to meet on a local pond with little more than a common interest.
  10. Looks like I may be early enough to grab my peanut brittle and hammock and join in for a change. These were certainly some interesting craft. Looking forward to your rendition.
  11. Very nice work Alan. Some how even when sitting on it's landing gear it has a raptor-in-flight look making it look like it is already speeding through the air. Nothing at all like the utilitarian look of the V-22 Even though it is the one with the raptor name.
  12. Nice to see what you ended up with Mike. A true masterpiece to be proud of. For smoke you might want to look into fine needle felting wool, or roving wool depending on your need, in dark gray or black My wife does a lot of needle felting projects and I have found a number of uses and as it is already died no need to worry about the color. Congratulations
  13. And now days they have three classes! Got a little extra room over there in the corner Mark?
