amateur got a reaction from mtaylor in HMS Dreadnought 1907 by RGL - FINISHED - Zvezda - 1/350 - PLASTIC - revisited
Why don’t we see people runing around on the deck. Oh wait, its 1:700 plastic. Looks lery much like the real thing, but those little people can’t move.
This is so convincing!

Little progress in my work on Blagoev.

This model is built in the style of factory built models from the 19th and 20th centuries. Therefore, some parts will not be painted.

One thing has come to my belief, I could never, not in the course of a thousand years, duplicate the skill and craftsmanship on display here....
Just absolutely stunning...

amateur reacted to Alvb in Forgot Password
I remembered the password. But I have to inform you that I have tried the usual "forgotten password" method several times in the past without success. I suspect that if I hadn't remembered, I would never have come in here again. -
amateur got a reaction from Ras Ambrioso in Cyclone-Class Destroyer 1902 by Valeriy V - scale 1:45 - Russian Imperial Navy
Hi Valeriy,
what a beautiful work.
I have a question: your hatches show hinges on all dides, and post #130 shows ‘unhinged’ hinges. Was it possible to choose the direction in which these hatches opened? And also: the parts between the hinges, are those to bolt down the hatches while at sea?

amateur reacted to wefalck in SMS WESPE 1876 by wefalck – 1/160 scale - Armored Gunboat of the Imperial German Navy - as first commissioned
Thanks, Ab, much appreciated !
*********************************
Installing the ship’s boats 2
It is done! All four boats are suspended from their davits and the work was achieved without major damage to other parts.
Good thing that there is not (yet) any brain recorder … because of the mental language that accompanied the process at certain stages.
Still there is a lot to be done, such as tidying up the loose ends, making and installing the coils of rope from the runners of the boat-tackles and the longitudinal chain-stays for the davits.
To be continued ....

amateur got a reaction from davec in HMS Dreadnought 1907 by RGL - FINISHED - Zvezda - 1/350 - PLASTIC - revisited
This is pure paint wizardry. Nobody will believe that this started out as a rough lifeless plastic blimp covered in red primer. Al that masking was worth the effort!

Sanding it again helped to give the surface less of a 'plastic' look.
Just to get the scale right: what is the lenght of this blimp? Is it around 10 inch, or even smaller?

amateur got a reaction from Ondras71 in Statenjacht Deck Photos
This is al deck and interior related pics I have.....
Pics were taken march 5th, 2010 when the ship was in Utrecht for a winter-overhaul.
Therefore most deckfittings (decklights) were covered in tarpaulin......
I hope they are of some use to you, as the requested structures are not in the pics

Different width masking tape. Silver overcoat, then mask again for a full day, tan spray, remove mask, remasking at the moment
