JohnEnglish Posted August 15, 2018 Share #908 Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) I bought a set of "flip up" magnifying lenses that I can wear like glasses. I also got a pair of those "extra hands" clamps that are on a mount. The combination of the two make dealing with small and finicky parts (like PE) really easy. I can hold the main part in the clamps and then use my hands (along with the magnifiers) to position and glue the small bits into place.

semorebutts Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share #918 Posted August 25, 2018 Hey John, yes the veteran models kits has both mounts and also has the D shield I believe. Doing some shading this morning. It's slightly more difficult to shade resin I think. Or it could be that there's more detail. Anyway heres some before/after photos.

Canute Posted August 25, 2018 Share #920 Posted August 25, 2018 The master pattern makers are using 3D printing to do up their masters nowadays. I just got a resin kit of a railroad boxcar with oil-canning of the sides. Relatively easy to model in HO (1/87) scale. Don't know how tough it would be, showing these effects, on 3D masters for our usual steel ship scales, like 1/200 or 1/350. popeye the sailor, Cathead, Old Collingwood and 1 other 4 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semorebutts Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share #929 Posted September 2, 2018 Wow thank you everyone for the compliments! i just don't see the great model you guys see. Maybe because I look at it all the time? I just don't think it's that great. Exceptable but not great. HOF, Originally my plan was to continue the camouflage up the superstructure. But I messed up the stripes on the hull so bad that it was impossible for me to continue the rest of it. It really bummed me out at first, but now I think it would've been more than I could handle. Nothing yet on the cabinet. I am procrastinating that as long as possible. popeye the sailor, lmagna, Old Collingwood and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
