michael101 got a reaction from Sargon in Royal Louis By Sargon - Mamoli - Scale 1:90 - 1st Rate French 3 Decker
hello there,
i had this kit before ... (and i turn it back ... i payed around 1200 dollar so it make me upset to dill with the bulkheads problems of that kit ,but dont worry about that ... you can fix all the problems like i said i turn it back only because i payed a lot on it .... )
a few tips about the bulkheads problems
1. before you will start gluing and fixing the bulkheads ... just make sure that all the bulkheads are symmetrical in both sides you can use a card for that (dont trust the plans even at the plans its not symmetrical )
2.be sure to fix all the bulkheads on the same level ! (i mean to make them on the exact level on the deck line) , im not remember if the deck line its a flat line or there is a curve ... just check in in your plans and if there is a curve line just measure the distance from the bottom to each deck line in every frame ... and do the same position when you will glue the frames on the keel ,
after all ... you will notice that there is some bulkheads that going in from the planks line and some of them going out ,
now take your time to fix them (even if it will take you forever .... dont jump to the second process until you will finish this process !!!!)
Best regards
Michael.

michael101 got a reaction from mtaylor in Caldercraft 1:72 Victory?
Cant see the difrent between MDF to a cardboard both of them was a wood in the past...
And that is for sure the MDF sometimes its more stable even from solid wood because it made in mold...
but all this its good until the humidity get contact with this new material then it getting a critical damage ..... and it not worth the time to work few years in a model that will gate a critical damage in the future
Btw in Israel they made a new MDF that is much stronger than the normal one and it didnt past the test of our army ... (and im not talking about guns ... just talking about office desk of the army)

For sure it is the Caldercraft !!!
Its expensive but It's worth the money (every cent )
just buy it without thinking too much ..
i was in the same situation before i bought this kit
and thanks God I am very pleased !!!
You can follow my build log and if you will have some questions you can p.m me
-
michael101 got a reaction from mtaylor in Caldercraft 1:72 Victory?
because its not wood ...
also in the future you cant know what can happen to the model due the humidity temperature act..
better to pay a little bit more and to work with wood
but again its my opinion
Regards,
Michael.

strange,
btw also this kit made of 5mm MDF
cant understand that

michael101 got a reaction from mtaylor in Caldercraft 1:72 Victory?
If I remember well the 1/64 kit it made of MDF (keel and bukheads) not sure ,
but if so ....
it much better to build it from plywood and If the material is not important just build it from plastic
anyway for my opinion if the keel and bulkheads not made of plywood its not a wooden ship...
in my country we called to MDF - a cardboard

Michael.
