That's what my current Hien project is like -- a seemingly never-ending sequence of tiny cockpit parts. I wish I could say the end was in sight, but I think it's more like one of those "not even the beginning of the end, but perhaps it is the end of the beginning" things.- 106 replies

Very nice!

Wow! Very nice work! The actual car, a one-off racer, is very interesting, even for us non-car types. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Mephistopheles

Machine guns have been added. This construction sequence was much more difficult than it should have been. I'm convinced there are some errors in the diagrams, including misnumbered parts. Quite a bit of surgery was required to get the guns fitted and aligned. The success or failure of the operation will be determined when the cockpit area gets skinned.

HMS Beagle by Tecko - OcCre - 1:60
ccoyle replied to Tecko's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1801 - 1850
The basic OcCre kits are nice, and they look good built straight from the box, but there is also plenty of scope for upgrading if you feel so inclined. -
This. 👆

Odd. You should be able to easily copy & paste photos into your log. That's how I do it using Firefox.

I just now noticed that you went with black for the ironwork instead of red as suggested in the instructions -- a good choice, IMO. Red might be more correct, but it doesn't look 'right' to my eye.

Well, there can be no engine detail, because no engine is included. I have seen 1/33 scale in-line engines offered as after-market options before -- perhaps at E-Card Models? But I have no interest in adding one. Not having to build an engine is one of the attractions of building planes with in-line engines! It is also possible to build models with access panels here and there open, if the internal details are included in the kit, otherwise such details must be scratch-built. I have shown panels in open positions before, such as on my DH.82, but it's not work that I find especially appealing. So, if anyone wants to see one of these card models with a super-detailed, visible interior, you're going to have to petition Dave E to build one for you! 😉

I'm trying to decode your title. Are there two names in there? One for the sloop and one for the designer?

It was great to be able to put a voice with the face. Now we just need to see an interview with James, "the man behind the display models"! I did like the question about possible American subjects -- still think the Shannon & Chesapeake pairing would be a hit! And @chris watton, did you in fact have a successful show? How did things go?

I'll watch it for you and let you know if the guy is all he's cracked up to be.

The name is probably derived from the word Wildman or Vildman, the mythical "man of the woods" that is a common heraldic figure in Germany and Scandinavia. Here's one from Laponia.

Welcome aboard! Does CZ stand for Ceska Zbrojovka?

Okay, starting in on the most complex set of rudder pedals that a kit has ever called upon me to build -- 32 pieces in all! 😬 And they are not big pieces, either! The main portion is a shaft with a number of linkages connected to it, with spacers on either side of each linkage. As often happens in such instances, I ran out of space on the shaft to include all the spacers, so some fudging was called for. Then we needed to add the pedals themselves, each made from six pieces. Lastly, a test fit to make sure everything will fir properly. That's it for now!

You have never mentioned having this issue before and have managed to upload numerous photos.

How so? I never have any problems uploading, posting, or resizing photos here.
