Denis, they disappeared years ago. May have gone into QualityCraft, going into GloorCraft... They did a lot of logging equipment for detailing backwoods sawmills and other old facilities. May have to check HOseeker.com for their instruction sheets. Post a picture of the refrigerator car. Another old train supplier that went away in the 60s, maybe? Is it mostly wood and white metal parts? May be able to give you a steer for generic parts. Your assembly bird is progressing nicely. Brave painting the red and white stripes without going pink. Operation Petticoat, anyone? -
A MER (Multiple Ejector Rack) centerline with SDBs (Small Diameter Bombs). They're a lighter but more accurate bomb, in current use. Nasty loadout.

Mike, you'll need to load it up with some Maverick missiles, targeting pod and a self protection IR air to air missile. It's really a big gun platform. Great jet.

German Army, not the Luftwaffe. Der Dicke.

Your build is coming along great. Having the KGL figures in fighting stance looks terrific.

Same issues in model railroad passenger cars. Floors are too thick, so the seated folk are double amputees just below the knees. They bring the cars to life, but our modeling materials are nowhere near scale thinness to permit using full figures. If you can work them in, the model will pop.

If I might add: The ship's crest goes up near the bow. Hopefully there may be a shield shape molded between the anchor and the bow. Need better photos to see where the name plates go.

Good job on your first airbrush session. Great info from Craig and Alan. I've read and seen on the YouTube vids a technique to put a drop or two of flow improver into the paint cup with your conditioned paint. Opinions, gents?

I'm in, over top of you; flying cover, it you will. Taking a chair up here in the loge. Toss a pop up here, will you, OC? 😄

Pond looks great, especially since it's was for the ducks. A few puddles will really make the ground "pop". Coming along nicely.

This is an Extra, not a scheduled job with a timetable to hold to. That marine leg looks very good. Well done.

I got a deep laceration on my arm some time back. The usual home remedies failed to staunch the blood flow, so off to the Emergency Room I went. The good doctor gave me a tetanus shot and dabbed CA in the cut. Now I have a small scar where the cut healed up. Like Mark said, this was developed during the Viet Nam War for rapid "suturing".

Neat build of the monitor, Chris. And a very nice display.Well done.

OC, the pond started out looking good. The color is very good. Like others have said, let the resin do it's own thing as it sets.
-
Amen to that. Be safe.

Another nicely done project, Denis. Spruced up an ancient kit and included a history lesson to boot. Thanks.

You may need a mask capable of handling organic solvents. I use it with acetone based plastic glues, such as Tamiya Extra Thin and MEK. I don't seem to have issues with the plastic cement sold thru Deluxe or the Testors liquid on the black dispenser.

Fokker Dr.I by hornet - Artesania Latina - 1/16 scale
Canute replied to hornet's topic in Completed non-ship models
Yes, they needed a skilled pilot. -
OC, that should work. The resin can find the most minute pin holes, so go around the edges twice.
-
OC, make sure the seal of the paper on your base is super tight. Any pinholes will be an avenue for the resin to escape, either 1.) flowing onto the floor or 2.)gluing the base to your table top. I have been involved with doing the first boo-boo, so I have an acquaintance with this stuff. It works great and looks good when it's done.
