Montanes by ricardo - OcCre

이 씨께, Model Ship World는 영어 포럼이므로 게시물은 반드시 영어로 작성해야 합니다. 온라인 번역기를 사용하면 이 작업에 적합합니다. 또한, Ricardo 씨는 3년 넘게 저희 사이트를 방문하지 않았기 때문에 귀하의 메시지를 볼 가능성이 낮습니다. 감사합니다! Dear Mr. Lee, As an English-language forum, Model Ship World requires postings to be written in English. Online translators work well for this task. Please also note that Ricardo has not visited our site for over three years, so he is unlikely to see your message. Thank you! -
Welcome aboard and good luck on your project!

I love whatever subject I happen to be working on at the moment. 🙂 That is just the artwork, which is very good. One interesting feature of the kit is that the fuselage bulkhead that goes where the fuselage on the real aircraft transitions from all-metal to fabric-covered tubing is actually a polyhedral; that way, if the modeler chooses, he can emboss the printed 'tubing' on the aft fuselage skin and get a more realistic fuselage shape. That is rather beyond my skills. Plus, once that bulkhead gets beveled it is more or less oval -- at least in my experience.

That looks terrific!

Dude, those are obviously their stunt doubles.

I started adding the wingtips, left wing first, but had quite a bit of trouble getting the tip pieces to close correctly. It dawned on me that there was no interior framing here, as there is in some kits. It's possible I simply overlooked them somewhere, but I don't think I did. In any case, I decided to make a couple of such pieces from scratch. The left tip is not closed up at this point, so I can still get the framing piece in there. The hardest part of making the framing was getting the left and right versions correct. I already knew in advance that the two pieces are mirror images of each other, but inadvertently made two right wing pieces anyway. Had to make a third piece to get the correct left wing version. 😑

The new trim options look like nice additions.

I'm not sure why so many people have hit the laughing emoji for my post, as the suggestion is not intended to be humorous. I'm well acquainted with production schedules and realize that it may be too late, too expensive, too troublesome, or simply not within the capabilities of the process to incorporate this fix, in which case it wouldn't be a deal breaker, obviously. But if every effort is being made to make the pieces as accurate as possible, and the capacity to make the fix is there, then why not? It's just something to consider.

Is it too late to mention that Aubrey's bow grip is incorrect? 😬 I didn't notice until just now. https://www.sagemusic.co/blog/how-to-hold-a-violin-bow/

Continuing with the wing, here we have the wheel wells added and the top cladding cut out. The finished wing framing is quite sturdy. Now the center wing skin is added, starting with the bottom to get the openings for the wheel wells aligned. Followed by gluing the top side down. The kit has optional parts for displaying the flaps down, but I will not be adding them, as it adds some complexity to the build, and I always think it looks just a little odd to show parked aircraft with their flaps deployed. Next up will be the outer wing sheathing.

Jotika’s 1:64 scale 38 Gun Heavy Frigate:HMS Diana

Welcome aboard, Mike! I would contact JoTiKa directly since the company is still in business. http://jotika-ltd.com/ -

You'll enjoy that kit. Cutters make very good 'step-up' projects -- they're proper men-of-war but without too much of the repetitive tasks that make larger projects a real grind to get through.

Welcome aboard!

We would've taken your word for it! 😉 That's a lovely model and display.

Diorama for ships
ccoyle replied to kgstakes's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
The way to find out if anyone has done this is to use the site's built-in search feature. I did and found 26 topics tagged as dioramas. https://modelshipworld.com/tags/diorama/ -

I got the final bits of fuselage added, which was a more demanding task than one might expect. The second-to-last section, abaft the gap for the horizontal stabilizer, is not simply oval in cross-section. Instead, it's a rectangle stacked atop an oval, but it tapers down to oval at the back. The skin for it is one piece, so a lot of work was required to get it to the right shape, and a lot of sanding was also needed to get the forward frame piece to fit into it properly. Following the numbering sequence of the parts, the canopy should be next, and I did start work on it. But I decided to check the written instructions to see if there were any potential pitfalls I should be wary of, and there I noted that the designer recommends leaving the canopy till later, which I agree is sound advice. So that was set aside for the present, and work commenced on the wings.
