1/4" or so.You're just trying yo blot up a little excess CA, not remove it all. Practice. -
You can use small bits of paper towels or tissues to blot up excess CA, Keep a small supply nearby and use your tweezers to hold the bits of paper. Discard after use.

Real good that you can operate your layout and sort out any glitches to your operating scheme. I've operated on several layouts that have some terrain and a few foam block structures. They'll get around to doing structures 'one of these days". And I've been enlisted to build up structures or rolling stock to help owners advance their railroads.

Absolutely correct,Chris. That's what I get for writing anything before my first cup of coffee. 😬

US subs used Fairbanks Morse (FM) inline opposed diesel engines. FM also built train loco for a number of years post WWII. Some companies do make sound modules for model locos, but in an RC boat they'd need to be in a waterproof casing.

These were the Midway torpedo bombers. Very brave men flew them.

Quite the splendid lineup there, Henry. Nice work.

Coming along very nicely, Mike. The PE makes her pop.

I dunno what to say. But, 2 interesting critters.

Kits in stereo? I'll follow. -
Ouch for the boot topping; nice for the deck striping.

I like the first one with the foliage gunking up the works. Sometimes weathering leaves that aspect out. Interesting Chars.

Where's the popcorn? I'm in. No decals for those accouterments? I think his chain mail would be steel; the rest bronze. Shield had a steel rim and boss. It was a weapon at times; hit that German in the face with the boss. He couldn't pull his gladius (sword) since he was holding his vexilla (standard or flag). That sporran looking thing across his stomach was leather straps with bronze studs. The rectangular flaps below the chain mail were leather also. The cloth was probably well faded red wool. I read some Simon Scarrow and other authors of these Roman tales.

Excellent save, Greg.

What a change from the first generation WW I tanks in just a year or so. Interesting critter.

if there is a film on the resin parts, wash them in Dawn and warm water or at least prime them with Tamiya thin primer. Most acrylics don't stick to parts if these oils aren't removed.

Nice builds of these stalwart destroyers, especially in 1/700. Well done, Alan. 👍

Interesting build, Alan. I'm in, too. Were these the Parthians or a successor regime? Those Mideastern lands gave Imperial Rome quite the hard time; as bad as the Germanic tribes did in Europe.

Those pre-dreads seem to grow on you/us. Very nice work.

Wood railcars of the 1800s used trussrods to level out the floors. The floors sagged in the center, so several trussrods were run from the end beams toward the car center over queenposts. There could be as few as 2 rods up to 6 that I've seen in photos of the old wood passenger and freight cars from the 1890s. Turnbuckles tensioned the rods; some were near enough to another rod that boards could be used between the turnbuckles to prevent the turnbuckles from loosening. These boats most likely were build using similar engineering principles. They just didn't have to put up with the jarring ride over the rails.

You might want to consider that there was wartime censorship of these weapons systems. Or it could just be their construction sequence. Cross reference several photos, if available,
