Sometimes, looking at those restoration vids, I wonder how these models survive in such a rusty state..... Jan
-
Nice model so far (I choose not to see your starving cows. Not nearly as starving as I breed them). By the way, how do you know? Jan

This made me aware of the enormous size of those airships. Never saw one mounted next to something as large as a battleship. Both ships came out great! Jan

Realistic Water
amateur replied to taylormade's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
I thouoght I found a cheaper version of Camarata's book, lister for 67 euro's. Following the link ended up at an american sellerfor 125 dollars. Nice change rates..... I have seen very convincing water doen by paper and arcrylic gel. As Mike says: everyting depends on scale, and situation to be depicted (heavy seas need other techniques that harbour scenes.) Jan -
These Halinski's almost look like plastic models: highly detailed, an dlots of very small stuff (I guess that breathing is a no-go while working on those microscopic pieces) Jan

SMS Karlsruhe by Wreck1919 - 1/100

Are you doing those hooks still with 'basic tools' or did you upgrade in the meantime. In any case: increadibly crisp work. (and the studded chain: bought, or also self-made?) Jan -
There is a second category of pirated kits: some of the major card-forums, and some individual builders, have 'free download models'. Quite a number of them end up for nice prices on the internet.

Lucky me, he is only taking north american customers

Stunning as always. Did you use your computer and printer to do the 'tiling' in the wheelhouse? Jan

Hi Hans, I missed your update in august. The model looks great. As far as I know the first 'Otte Blom'-model. Till now I only knew of the Dik-versions. It looks convincing to me. Please keep us posted! Jan

Making Brass Masts for 1/700 warships
amateur replied to dcicero's topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
But may be a more feasible solution for all of us not in the possession of a watchmakers lathe Jan -
Hi Daniel, Doesn’t it bother you that you can see the steps of the printer in the macro-pictures? Those are certainly not like the original Jan

Three meters. Quite a ship. Are you going to use it as a base for your RC planes? Jan -
And in case you are in Amsterdam this winter, the scheepvaartmuseum has an exhibition of paintings and drawings of the Van de Veldes. The cover of the catalogue (dutch only) looks very much like the book cover shown by Marcus. Jan

laminating can also be a solution: bend a number of thinner strips and stack until the desired width has been achieved. When you use strips that are wide enough, you can then make two symmetrical rails from this laminated strips. Jan

That is seriously small stuff. Unbeleivable detail, and very nicely painted! Jan
-
300, even worse .... No, I also haven't a clue how to do so many men at such a small scale. I knew I was asking for something impossible Btw, I like the sea surface. How did you do that? Paper, plaster, putty? Jan
-
That is a nice little model. I know it is asking for the impossible, but in a diorama-setting, did you consider making 200 (?) oarsmen? From the foam in the sea you can see some rowing is going on, but the benches are empty... Jan
-
Hi Yves, That looks like a serious project.... one question: the model is fromCAF, but the unboxing video you show is labelled ZHL. I always understood that ZHL is sometimes selling rip-offs, while CAF is not. Do you know how it is in the case of Bellona? Jan
-
Hi Valeriy, stunning as always. I have two questions: I see a turning mechanism on the lower vents. Will they have cowls also? and second: those large pieces left and right to the vent: are those spare propeller blades? Jan
-
I guess you read his final reply in that short thread: This will not be a kit. Jan
