amateur got a reaction from thibaultron in Nieuport 11c.1 by ccoyle - FINISHED - Kartonowa Kolekcja - 1:33 - CARD
Thanks: the version my shop sells is labelled 'heavy', so I think I can deduce which is which

With respect to the EZ-line: Do you use the thin (0.25mm) or the "thick" (0.5 mm) version?

Or he needs starting a very large, very complicated model with lots of tiny parts, so that he is busy at least three weeks.
Having said that: actually I like these slightly less complicated models more than the very complicated ones: they have the looks and feel of a good model, and they are not afraid of showing that they are made of paper.

amateur reacted to Andrew Egan in HMS LCT119 by Andrew Egan - 1/72 scale - PLASTIC
Not posted for a while, but deep in the throes of fitting out LCT119. Motor mounts and rudder gear all 3D printed of course are now fitted, however weight and space are tight so only 2 screws are powered. Screws are independently controlled. Ramp gear is fitted but the ramp still isn’t heavy enough to pull the rigging out. Currently making battery boxes for the two 18650 batteries going under the forward end of the tank deck. The quarterdeck has started to warp so I have added a subframe to keep it square.

amateur reacted to Philemon1948 in Making ship drawings in the seventeenth century Dutch Republic.
Hello mtaylor,
You state:
"The word "rivet" implies that the end is hammered such that it's flat and not bent and done in past with the metal being hot".
That is exactly what I was thinking reading he descriptions of Nicolaes Witsen. A rivet implies an extrusion of material in all directions over a plate or a surface. That is not the definition of a 'bent end' as we would describe it today. This rather looks like an uncertainty between what they understood als a 'klink' in general and what we understand today as a 'clink'. So it is a matter of definition and these uncertainties are present with regard to much more understandings, for instance in the case of a 'joint' between two wooden construction pieces.

The Big Reveal!
The Lewis gun took about three hours to build, but now she is all done. I really enjoyed this build -- quite refreshing after the struggles with the GPM Hellcat. I can't recommend the Kartonowa Kolekcja kits highly enough -- try one! Now, enjoy the pictures!
First, the Lewis gun. The Allies didn't have synchronization gear at this point in the war, so the Lewis gun was mounted to fire above the propeller arc.
And now for the glamour shots!
And lastly, a family photo of the two KK kits together, the Nieuport and the DH.82A.
Thanks for looking in!

Chris, you need a warning email that goes out when you start a new build. I finally get a round to checking and your almost done!
fine job!

The images above give a good overall view of the fit out and details that have to be made.
Building a vacuum form tool this weekend so I can start on carving the male plugs for the lifeboats. funnel-cap and bridge front roof screen and get them formed up.

Count me out!
"What is in the box, sir?"
"Not sure. It could be a saw"
"Did you pack it?"
"No"
"Do you know who packed it?"
"No. Perhaps someone in China".
"Sir, can you please step this way? We have a few more questions."

In a galvanic bath, I deposited copper on a lead-tin ingot. Then I smelted the tin and got the finished copper hull of the boat.

amateur reacted to Danstream in McDonnell Douglas F-15 A/C by Danstream - FINISHED - Tamiya - 1:48
Hi,
following Denis' suggestion, I went a bit on with my build. I must admit that I find this phase of preparing the large fuel tanks a bit boring and also finishing the many missiles is not very exciting. I should have thought earlier to close the slots that are there to hold the tanks so to omit them and display the airframe in its sleek and beautiful shape. Too late for that, these are the tanks now after the usual black followed by several layers of paint:
Transparent clear and matt are still missing. I will not weather them much, because I do not want them to catch too much attention. Meanwhile, I brush painted the pilot's seat which is a QB resin replacement. This is the only aftermarket used for this build, if we exclude the new decals. This is the most prominent piece that will be visible through the closed canopy glass and I wanted it to look cooler than the simplified part supplied with the kit.
I painted it with Tamiya acrylic paints, Vallejo metallic for the buckles and the I sealed everything with a light coat of clear matt. Finally, the cockpit is now complete:
That's all for now,
thanks for your interest,
Dan
