  1. I didn’t like the look from it and I decided to cover it with a second round of paper towels…
  2. Followed by a paint coat. I was using Acrylic Colors, a mix of Primary Blue, a little Titanium White and some drops of Mars Black
  3. Next is to cover the styrofoam with paper towels (I am using the blue shop towels because the kitchen towels have a often a structure with flowers and so on). I “glue” the paper towels with Liquitex Gloss Gel to the foam.
  4. Since I have to wait for my parts, I was working on my seascape. Starting with Styrofoam and a torch. I have to give credits to Chris Flodberg for this method of making seascapes.
  5. Hello Everyone, This is my attempt to build the Flower Class corvette HMCS Snowberry (1/72) in the May 1943 configuration (after Charleston, SC refit) And yes, again a Snowberry. I am working on the old Revell / Matchbox kit, unfortunately not the newer Platinum version. The following aftermarket photoetch & 3d printed parts will be used: David J.

  6. Greg, From where did you get the portholes (sidescuttles)? Are they from the Infini “Watertight Doors Set” by any chance? Thanks, Hermann
  7. I am not surprised that he has his hands full. Looks like it is excellent stuff. I can’t wait to order something for my Cossack (Tribal). Thanks, Hermann
  8. Greg, Cool stuff. Do you know by any chance when that will be available? Thanks, Hermann
  9. Glenn, just in case you don’t know the video from Tom Lauria
  10. Greg, you might know this book. I found it very informative. Cheers, Hermann
  11. Greg, What is the name of the book in picture #30 and others? Thanks, Hermann,
  12. Thank you for the link & photos, Piotrek! Outstanding work! Hermann
  13. Hello Piotrek, I noticed that you have an LED light on your Proxxon mill. Can you tell me where you get it? Is it with batterie? Thanks! BTW, excellent build! 👍👍👍
  14. Hi Alan, welcome back to the ship modeling world! Here are excellent building blogs with good solutions & ideas. I’am fascinated with offshore suppliers & AHT’s and will hopefully build one soon. I even had a chance to visit some in Newfoundland. All the best and good luck with your build. Hermann
  15. You could try to spray the plastic with "Future" (Pledge Floor care) this will enhance the look.This is an old trick from plastic modelers to create a "glas" look for clear plastic. To glue it in place you can use Micro Kristal Clear (from Microscale Ind.). It is a flexible clear liquid plastic adhesive. I used it also for removing light scratches.
