I've got a number of Japanese warships I need to start and finish. But some of those gun details are intimidating, like your triples. I should start and build my 1:250 Akagi. It's a little larger which is a benefit to my old tired eyes. A 1:250 Yamato with lots of details waiting in the wings, too.

Real nice job on that mast, Greg. It's a tough one to do.

So glad to hear this. If I was your next door neighbor, we would probably have lots of laughs and good times. I love a good sense of humor and not taking oneself too serious, too often.

I sincerely hope you're just joking with us and not serious. One trouble with forum communications like these is that one cannot see the facial expressions and body language that gives us clues when levity is intended. At the least, a family owes their father respect and love for the dedication and commitment they have given to them over the years. Think how many poor children are out there who know no father whatsoever in their lives.

Really? Well, there you go, we have something in common. I too was in bands in the 60's, though. Jazz, blues, and dance bands. No singing, I played the sax.

Haven't heard OC's singing voice yet, so couldn't say with any certainty I like or dislike it. But I do like his latest paint job. Maybe you need to record a singing audition for us, OC, and post it here. I double-dog dare 'ya.

Is it tomorrow yet. How did that paint come out? Inquiring minds want to know (and see pictures).

There are no deck guns on modern subs as far as I know. Gotta go back to WW2 for those.

Cluttered? Are you kidding? I see room for lots more stuff in there. It's not packed to the ceilings (yet) like mine.

I am slowly (very slowly) working up the courage to take on a paper ship model due to Dan's beautiful work. Although I am totally aware he's making the difficult look easy when it's really not. The clean, neat finish of his models are remarkable. It's hard to believe it's paper.

What a great looking printer that Folger FT5. I never heard of it until now. Looks very beefy and precise. Really like that auto level feature. Does it ship from the USA, or China?

You curse, I cuss. With my best southern drawl, it's pronounced "cuss". The "r" is silent.

And if the use of it is dedicated to smaller parts where greater precision is desirable, cost of material becomes much less an issue. Very interesting indeed.

Beyond the initial cost of those resin printers, there's the whole big issue of safe handling of the resin, respirators, etc. I have no concept for how much resin material would be required for a project. A liter of it is going for around $70 on Amazon. I had no idea one could buy an SLA printer for something in the $500 range. That's surprising.

I made a 1st time visit to a 3D Printing super store in my area yesterday. Wow, the printers and related materials/hardware they have there is astounding. Got quite a crash course in 3D printing from the friendly staff. There were incredible examples of all sorts of 3D printing with everything from simple to exotic mediums. The prices of the high end printers is extreme, but then again, producing prototype parts is an expensive proposition any way you look at it.
