USS Constitution (Mamoli 1:93) What to do?
Paul Jarman replied to Techsan's topic in Wood ship model kits
Hi Techsan, I think your build looks very good. Don't start pulling apart and end up regretting it. Continue building. I would like to here your backstory. Good luck with whatever decision you chose. Paul -
Welcome aboard Vic, Paul

Welcome to MSW Bryan Paul -
Hi Don, I am building the 1/84 kit of this ship. As Kevin says lots of good pics with a google search. If you have the same poster that came with mine the colour scheme has a white bottomed hull. I believe at one time this was correct, but she now has a black hull with two white strips which are representative of what would have been the cannon bands where she a war ship. The instructions i have say to paint the top band gold, but it is actually yellow ochre. This paint scheme IE: white, black and yellow ochre seems to be prevalent through most of the ship with a lot of brass showing. Paul

Lisboa Tram and Diorama by puckotred - OcCre
Paul Jarman replied to puckotred's topic in Completed non-ship models
Brilliant job. Saw the first photo and thought it was a taster of the real tram with model photos to follow. The close up looks so real. Paul -
Have very pleasant weekend as well Alain. Welcome to the forum, you will get on with us all here. Great kit HMS AGAMEMNON, will you start a build log for us to follow? Paul

Looking great Danny, Looking through your log and the build areas when you took it apart and rebuilt you've done a super job. Have to double take when looking at your build to realise it is a card model. Paul

Looks good, really taking shape. Good you are back on the build. Paul
-
Messis, Yes unless it is in a display case it would patina over time I would imagine. This would defiantly make it more natural rather than forcing it. Paul
-
great job Messis, At the scale you are working the copper is not taking up too much of the hull. So your plan not to patina is a good one. Paul
-
Absolutely unbelievable details on such a small model. Can't wait to see how you are going to make the grew figures !!! She has to have a crew Paul

Hello Jonk, Paul

Welcome aboard Louie, As EJ says try not to compare with other builds. Take a look at mine, A top class builder would find lots of faults. Especially the square ports. Not the neatest job around but they look good enough at this scale. Build for yourself as i do. A build log would be good we can see what you are doing and give any advice you may need. When i get stuck on a section, which i did a few times building the hull i move to another part of the build i know won't give me too much trouble. I then check out other builds read and reread the instructions until it suddenly comes to me what i need to do. Good luck with your build and hope to see a few pictures soon. Paul

Hi Messis, Great job on the coppering. Are you going to patina it?. The hull looks very good. Paul

Welcome aboard Jeff. Paul

You should be fine with a bit of elbow grease. The hull at least looks like it is running true. Good work with the bulb. I did the same only i used wood filer not fibreglass putty. But i have filled and sanded back twice before being happy with the finish. Paul

Welcome aboard Cedric.

Will watch with interest. I do like the way you give yourself more work with the PE. Of course it will look great when done. Looking good so far. I also can't believe how fast you work with the PE. I've just added a few of the smaller fittings to my model and that took me the day to do!!

Great job well done Greg. Loads of great detail. Can't pick any one area that stands out. If I had to it would be the rigging, the planes, the boats and especially the great weathering job. Paul PS Forgot to add to the standouts all the photo tech you have patently added to add to the realism of the finished kit. Still have to do a double take each time i look back through this unbelievable build to believe that a plastic kit could look so good. Looking forward to whichever kit you decide on next and will follow avidly. Paul

This is an incredibly interesting place!
Paul Jarman replied to Dilbert55's topic in New member Introductions
Welcome aboard Dilbert. You are right this is a very interesting place. You will soon make lots of new friends. Look forward to you starting a log. Paul -
Difficult to add any more than has been said Patrick. Amazing details and such a small scale. I will have ships boats to build about the same size, but i won't need to add any where near as much detail. I would struggle to build a model as good as you have even with my magnifier. Are you going to place her in a diorama, maybe moored at the Yacht club. Paul

I've taken to using Vallejo's paints. they brush on nice and smooth and coverage is excellent and are very vibrant, They also come in a good sized bottle. Paul
