That's basically what I told her, I can't wait to see her face when we turn up with a "proper" glue and paint needed model😂 and then there's the train layout he's just got to have!! I'm besides myself just thinking of what my grandson "needs"🤤 -
Just a small side project took on with my 6 year old grandson. Much to his mums distress I'm introducing him to the joys of model kits 😂 These quickbuild kits are so simple! no glue or paint required! He and I completed this F22 in an hour therefore leaving no time for his 6 year old mind to wander. I was there as a consultant, explaining the instructions as he did all the building. he thinks it's cool and has already chosen what he want to do next (a Lamborghini Aventador) My little bit at keeping the hobby going and trying to get kids interested in actual not virtual pastimes again. Thanks for looking in😉

Interesting subjects.

Thanks Tim, With great difficulty, I've had four attempts before I got one I was satisfied with. This was #1, a bit too small as you could see into the open hull past the edges. #2 not as poor but I wasn't happy and #3 never even made it down the hole. #4 made in two pieces and glued to some cross beams wedged and glued between the hull and the false keel. It's about 3 times as wide as the hatch and really tested my dexterity to fiddle it in to position. I'm re-doing the ladder. The lower deck is now in and 32mm below the upper which if scaled up to full size would be somewhere between 4'11 and 5'1 Next time I'll do this before the top deck but I wasn't planning this companion way. Thanks for popping in and the likes😁 Cheers

Enzo Ferrari by CDW - FINISHED - Tamiya 1:24 Scale
Edwardkenway replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Yes it does, I suppose if it was real carbon fibre it would pile on the price $$$$ -
Good grief OC!!!😆

WOW! that is a seriously good looking kit, forgive a daft question: is it actual bone fide carbon fibre or lookee likee ? The engine and frame are superb on your model Craig 🙂 -
I'm in, I'll get a chair instead of rafter hanging😄, nice idea of doing a local pilot!!
-
😃Nice! this and the Japanese dive and torpedo bombers on on my wish list. Lovely camo paint work!

I think Justin P has perfectly summed it up, an absolutely amazing build!!!

I'm not sure, but most details should be very similar to both vessels although Triton is a 28 gun frigate whereas Pandora is a 24 gun frigate. Perhaps a question in the plans and research section would provide an answer from a member more knowledgeable than I am.
-
Hi, good luck with Triton. Your question about the plans I can't answer as I just printed mine at my local library and I'd reduced them to 1:64. The AOTS book is Pandora if I'm not very much mistaken, I didn't find a copy for sale at the time I was looking. Hope this was in some way helpful.

Mine would be a crumpled ball of card in the bin😂 I'm not that good when getting frustrated 🤬 but card is one of your things and I think you'll pull it off 😉

I don't know if you've already read these but Alexander Kent's Richard Bolitho series are a pretty good read, and the books written under his own name Douglas Reeman

Sorry didn't mention, the forward below deck cabins are looking good!

Excellent project finished Patrick, you have worked miracles on a kit I built as a child, I didn't put the same amount of detail on it though. It's been an absolute joy to watch. Thankyou😁

Oops, it happens to us all at times. The port side looked very fine.

I think having authentic odours and aromas drifting out from various parts of the village would be fantastic. I recall a visit to Jorvik Viking Centre with the Admiral and my Daughters too many years ago, they used smells in the recreation of a viking town, bread baking and sawdust amongst the better ones and others I try to forget 🤭

Just a little bit done, the window frames on the skylight have been glued, they'll need sanding when the glue's cured I've given the deck one coat of poly I'll get the platform and ladder sorted next time thanks for the likes and having a look😁 Cheers

The mustard sauce would also be ideal mixed with honey and used as a baste for the hog roast, mmmm crispy crackling

Returning to my Cutter for a bit of relief from the smell of the glue whilst working on my Panther non ship build. There's been change of mind concerning the companion way, instead of a deckhouse I'm just doing a simple coaming and a ladder down to below. Consequently I've cut out the false deck to allow for a platform to set the ladder on. I've still got to tidy the hole up. For some reason macro mode makes the Cedar very yellow. also have cut the small components for one side of the skylight, which is staying. Needless to say this has put back the making of the windlass. Thanks to everyone for your posts and info for said windlass. For the likes and dropping in.... Cheers 🙂

I am the same with roofs, will not go up on mine nowadays, which is a bit embarrassing as I'm a builder and I do customers roof repairs but not my own🤔☺🙄

Apart from holiday flights, the only other "flying" I've done is a paraglide from a mountain in Turkey, a really exhilarating experience 😁 I can understand OCs reluctance as the Admiral gets jelly legs.
