  1. I have a Billings ,Will Everard in 1/67 scale . Unfortunately its a wood kit. Id let it go for $25 +shipping if youre interested.
  2. You could try using a pin to put a bunch of tiny holes in the wood, try putting the pin in a hemostat and ising it like a hammer to tap little holes in the wood. I've used this technique in the past to glue firewalls for gas engines in R/C airplanes.
  3. You have pretty good photos there. I wonder if you could get a local outfit to laser cut a set for you.?
  4. Check every garage and estate sale within 30 miles of your house.
  5. This is such a cool model. Right out of the SteamPunk ere too. You're doing a very fine job. Keep up the good work. Bill
  6. Heres the promised pics. The model builder was Aelvin Thatcher of Fakenham, Norfolk, England . built about 1991 0r 92
  7. This Titanic model was built by an english modeler in the 90s. It is museum quality and has been in a case for all that time.It is located in Sitka Alaska but can be shipped anywhere.The original cost of this model was $5000 . I will try and get photos if anyone is interested. Also will see if I can find the name of the builder.
  8. I may be mistaken , but I believe the cannon were mounted perpendicular to the port and the ship was yawed to bring the bow guns to bear. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Very nice work BTW.
  9. I believe an inquiry at least will be awarde the skipper and medals all around for the rescue crew.
  10. Try googling Detail Associates ,for small brass stock.
  11. IMHO One cannot solder aluminum. As a matter of fact I have some jigs made of aluminum used to fabricated model railroad track components. Aluminum is used specifically because it rejects solder. I would stick to all brass components for good results.
  12. Larry and Lou, thanks for the likes. Larry, Thanks for the offer on the photoetch ,but, I think I'll just stay with what I have. There seems to be plenty and I have bought a couple extra ladder and railing sets. Plus I bought a 1/200 seaplane launcher and crane set with two OS2-Us that look pretty neat. At this stage of the build it just seems like there are 50 of everything to build and install. 50 floater baskets,50 20mm machine guns, 50 ammo lockers for the machine guns 50 various gun directors,etc.
  13. I incentivised myself into finishing my Missouri battleship by comitting to display it in the local library in August. Hopefully life won't get in the way of that goal.
  14. Here's another attempt, taken today. I see a couple things to fix. You all will have to guess. Edited by moderator.
  15. Thankyou very much. I thought I had it figured out there for a while. I have done work since so I'll try some more.
