reklein got a reaction from Baker in BIG card model sale over at Paper Modelers
I wish you wouldn't post stuff like this. I'm trying to thin my own collection.😏

reklein reacted to ccoyle in BIG card model sale over at Paper Modelers
Hey, gang. One of the long-time members at Paper Modelers recently passed away, and another member is selling off his collection of ~800 printed kits. That's right -- 800 kits, and at significantly reduced prices compared to what you would normally spend. There is something there for everyone who might be looking to hoard a few extra models, or perhaps dip a toe into the card modeling waters: ships, planes, vehicles, and buildings. Lots of really good stuff -- check it out!

I only have metal files, no diamond files. For the PE I just used a strip of 400-600 grit Emery paper glued to a Popsicle stick to smooth rough edges.

reklein got a reaction from Canute in USS Missouri by reklein - Sterling - 1/192 Scale
There are some resin kits in there,for example some Westerfield kits. Most are ancient Ambroid,and LaBelle kits. A lot of Cambell structure kits. I'm trying to sell off a lot of these as I'm getting old and running out of time and also am too fickle to stick with them long enough to build them all. Thankyou all for the likes on my build. Bill

reklein reacted to Papa in United States by Papa - JSC - 1:400 - CARD
Today i received my new copy of the United States liner card model from Poland.
1. Photo shows how to properly join the beam sections, using tabs #6. I missed this the first time.
2. Note the triangular section in the middle if the frame, 13. In my first build, I didn’t realize there were 3 tabs in there needed to attach the frame to the center beam until i had cut the center out of about half the frames. I had to jury rig new tabs. 😳. I learned my lesson and am doing it correctly this time.
3. i also learned that i need to write the part number on each part when cut out. Doesn’t take my 78 year old brain long to forget what part is which.

Laminating plastic to topside bulkheads. I will also put 1/16th scribed decking on. still too wide a plank for 1/16th scale but will "read" OK. I'll save the super detail for the Hood coming up later this winter.

Lou, I'm just laminating plastic to the topsides. I did a bluejacket Liberty ship that way and it worked out great. It will be the best way to get a steel looking finish. Will also use for decks where appropriate and Northeastern scribed decking for the decks. I have a Toms models works PE set for the railings etc.. Bill

Here's a pic of the topsides. Lots of little nooks and crannies. Lots of football time to go here.

Yesterday I built props struts from laminated styrene. A little wonky but it'll do. Truly scratch built. Next the props and shafts. All from styrene. Stay tuned.

Work continues with framing,bottom planking and a shot of whats left of the kit and a plans sample. The instruction book is fairly complete but lots of fine print and takes some study. I'd say experience is required with this kit.

This will be a build log of the Sterling kit of the USS Missouri on 1/192 scale. I began with the AA gun arsenal as a way to avoid tedium late in the build Then I started framing up the kit.

reklein reacted to Bob Cleek in Where can I buy this tool?
Beat me to it while I was compiling my response after seeing nobody had responded.
There ought to be a red button with a buzzer we could hit when we know the answer, that would block the other contestants from answering and determine who had the right answer first, like on the TV game shows.
