mtdoramike reacted to Reggiemon in SOLD Corel Corsaro ll kit For Sale
I have a partially started Corsaro ll kit I would like to sell for the cost of you starting a build log for it on this site and postage to you.
The hull has been framed up but no planking has been started. Please see pictures.
The kit is complete. It has been stored in a humidity/temperature controlled environment all these years so all wood is in excellent condition.
There is a recent build log by John Ruy that shows what this model looks like finished. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/33536-corsaro-ii-by-john-ruy-finished-corel-124-scale/
Are you up to the Corsaro build challenge?
PM me your address so I can give you an estimate on postage costs.

mtdoramike got a reaction from Knocklouder in SOLD Corel Corsaro ll kit For Sale
This is a very genrous offer, I would love to take the opportunity to finish it as well. But I just recently adopted a couple other orphans. I'm afraid my wife would probably give me the boot if I adopt another without finishing up a few. But just for the heck of it, what is shipping to 32757? to give an idea of the shipping cost.

I use Chrome and it works for me just fine, but I had to have some cookies with my milk because it ask for them.

mtdoramike reacted to Acker in HM Brig Supply by Acker - FINISHED - Caldercraft - Scale 1:64
Winter is here, lawn bowls finished for the season, time to complete my build. I ordered mounting plinths, some barrels and buckets from the UK. They took weeks to arrive but the "Supply" is now mounted on a plinth and the barrels and buckets located on the deck. The brass "supply" letters that came with the kit looked to big to me to go on the transom, so I glued them to the base and used some vinyl letters for the ships name.

An illustration on how good the Trumpeter hull/deck join has been. No filler necessary, except for a small area at the bow. The Midwest Model video has the builder adding styrene sheets to the hull sides to give the impression of hull plating. I agree that the lack of plate details in the model makes for too "flat" a surface on the hull sides and I also wish that Trumpeter had included panel detail in the casting. However, I think the styrene sheet is too thick. I've put on 10mm-wide masking tape in alternate bands and will spray a thick coating of primer on the unmasked parts to make up a little extra thickness. Hopefully, once the tape is removed, and after a color coat, there will be some nice panel edges. Before the color coat, I'll scribe vertical lines in a brick pattern on the alternate bands to complete the illusion of plating. I brushed a coat of micro-flat on the tape edges to minimize bleed thru (and also add a little thickness). We'll see.
I pictured the Milescraft "ScribeTec" which I used for penciling in the lines to align the masking tape. What a joy this little device is, compared to my previous method of getting the correct height by stacking CD sleeves or books/magazines as a pencil rest.

Yeah, aint looking forward to it. When PE works, it works great, when it doesn't, it doesn't.

Well the USS Missouri aka: Big Mo is coming along nicely. It's coming down to the wire. I have had a love hate realationship with the brass PE etching. When it works and installs easily it's great, but when it doesn't, it's one of those days.
