lmagna got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Bismarck by Channell - Trumpeter - 1/200 - PLASTIC
Had to follow each link one at a time but I can't believe how crisp everything is even in super zoom. Makes me feel like I'm walking the 5.9" gundeck while they are being installed. Very clean and crisp work. Looking forward to even more.

Too bad on the 1/350 stuff. Possibly look at four rail PE sets and consider cutting window frames from them. Don't know.
On your present build I still think you were right by putting the thick part on top! Good luck with both the davits and eyesight.

I personally blame the makers of the PE. It is obvious in the pictures that the top rail is nice heavy polished wood and stands out as such. It would also be obvious to anyone who has ever taken a cruise on a ocean liner. They should design their expensive after market additions accordingly.
Is there any possibility that the 1/350 PE for the Entex Titanic would fit? There are a lot of salon windows in that set.

Possibly another source would be Old Model Kits. They offer an amazingly expensive resin 1/350 Normandie that is supposed to have two sheets of PE. Maybe they would be willing to sell you just the PE sheets if they include what you want.

You may have accidently discovered something Chris. In my humble opinion the upside down railings look just like the real thing with the top rail being made of a thicker polished wood railing instead of the metal of the lower sections.
For not having any top notch skill, experience with resin, and patience combined with good eyesight you are sure turning out a miniature masterpiece. It is frightening what you could possibly do if you had all of those attributes!

lmagna reacted to CDW in McLaren M8B by CDW - Accurate Miniatures - 1:24 Scale
Oh yeah, forgot to mention. Locked my keys in my car at a shopping mall Saturday. Believe it or not, first time ever I've done that. Called insurance company roadside assistance and 45 minutes later a locksmith arrived. Wondered how they managed getting a new car like mine unlocked. They use a small, approx 8" x 8", airbag to slip between the seal rubber and door window frame. They pump up the airbag to create an opening large enough to slip through a fiberglass specialty rod that flips open the door lock inside the car. Took not more than 5 minutes total. Easy money for a locksmith. Insurance paid it all. 🙂

Gonna be taking some days off to start and finish chores around the house. It's already spring, here. Lots of leaves and Oak Tree blooms to clean up. Putting up a new swimming pool and disposing of an old one. Getting the patio ready for summer nights to come. Probably just a little painting, too.
Went to a great model swap meet yesterday, came home with about 20 kits I didn't have before with a few multiples of some I did have but could not pass up the bargains. All car/truck models, some paints. Passed up several nice steel hull ship models and a couple of live steam farm tractors. Tractors were tempting, the ships not as much. 1:400 scale odd balls. Heller.
I'll be back when I get back, Duty calls. 🙂

lmagna reacted to kpnuts in Mercedes 300 SL by kpnuts 1/16 italari
Hi all next victim is the italari 1/16 Mercedes 300 SL, first thing I don't like is the distributor and plug leads are molded as part of the rocker cover (I don't even know why they would do that at this scale)
