Did the Germans have a broadcast special on the BBC? Very super detailed build, Yves. All the lovely crisp scratch built items ... c'est superbe!

Revell Tie fighter - 1:110 by Fnick (Finished)
cog replied to fnick's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Odd for even matt should still be opaque. It may be that the clear plastic turned murky, which you cannot alter, but for changing it. In tis particular case I would try the MR Paint Cleaner with a cotton swab. -

Nope, have you ever sanded varnish. You make it translucent by putting on another coat of varnish. Did you use matt, satin, or gloss? -

Gloss varnish might help. I wouldn't go for the white spirit. I found MR Paint (NOT Mr Color!) Cleaner to be a very effective paint remover, both enamel as acrylics. Watch out you do not touch other areas than the ones you want to "strip" -
Ah yes, the giant match, and clamp. Nice detail, despite the size. You never know when it comes in handy, Steven

Have you thought about making the black a bit less by mixing 10% -20% of light grey in it? It would bring the colour somewhat more "to scale"

Very nice, RGL. Turned out real good, a thoroughly battered, and (ab-)used hull and structure!

Why the oilcanning effect? I thought the ships from before WWII were of far heavier plates than the US ships from WWII and most warships from after, and hence didn't show the water battered hull

it will be Denis ... it just hasn't arrived yet. I want to build one with a detailup cockpit, engine, radio room (more like a box), and wheels. That should keep me busy a few days ... four seperate builds in one ... add a cloak of invisbility ... and the camo is complete too By the way, presently working on a Spitfire IXc 1/48 engine ... should fit snuggly in OC's build

I see Trumper makes one too ... I'll pass on the berg, I stuff my freezer with different content

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
