  1. Nice work environment, I am quite taken by it. Any preference for a specific paint brand, I see several different ones.

  3. Great work on the pom pom, that is some serious hard work, I build a four barreled one at 1/350 to use on a destroyer, but it was to big (can you imagine?) I still find they don't look as nice as the other guns ...
  4. You found the missing piece from Vendetta!? She's growing steadily ... the bling does her well, she does need it at this scale, plastic is far to course ... but then ... coarse suits you, just as much as fine does. Details are getting better an' better ... You really are "a man of all trades"
  5. Well, my friend, get your needles and thread out, you've got work to do. I could do it on the machine for you, but I'm afraid you will have to wait far to long before I could get it done, and delivered to your doorstep
  6. Steve, Sorry to disapoint you, but the centre cabin or shed isn't covered on the photograph. If you look well, you even see something like a stack of lifeboats/carley floats or a gun tub on the block. Back to the drawing table, and you can put your seamstress at work so it seems ...
  7. Sail away mate, if you need to speed arrival up, then you can do the last bit by taking off with a plane - if those are ready in time.
  8. Glad you are back in one piece Tony It is always a pleasure to see how you managed on the bumpy road. Yet again a great tutorial. Looks maarvelous. The card one doesn't look bad at all, especially not for someone who has not worked with card before.
  9. Which mescherschmits? I presume the Junkers will be Stukas Ju 87 ... THe carrier looks quite used, so congrats on that. Very realistic, even for a ship which in reality has never sailed.
  10. Looks pritty much finished. I read somewhere the masts weren't so much rusty as they would be quite grimey, especially the one aft I would presume, considering the deposit of fumes
  11. Every once in a while we need a thumbs up, that's the way to stay motivated, and finish our build. It's not as easy as we sometimes think ourselves when we start a new build. I know I will have a hard time getting my current build done, the PE will be giving me screwed eyes and splitting headaches. Without the visitors giving advice it would be hard, but those whom give moral support are even more important, even the practical jokes have their moments You are doing fine, keep it up. If you feel the dark creepin' up on you, you can always paint her pink ...
  12. Take care OC, I'll see you around at different build logs, and will be waiting untill you pick up the pace on Pearl. You'll be fine soon enough
  13. LIfe sometimes take precedence, Nenad. Good to know you are still amongst us, although "divided". Hope your lady leaves you enough time for the intricacies of rigging Take care
  14. Thanks Sam, another little bit. I've finished the "seams" at the top of the bow running back. Started on the forward swinging boom. When I was looking for the parts, it already screwed me eyeballs !!! the boom itself is 3.7cm (just over 1.5") long ... go figure, I get a splittin' headache from the Musashi guns, what will this give me ... I found an image which is easier on the eyes, than the one I've got for the build instructions The second boom, the stowed one is even smaller, but has the same nice little parts to it. Ken, if you start her, you are in for some fiddly bits ... Grant me strength
  15. What do you want to look at? A partly weathered ship, e.g. a weathered hull and clean, crisp, new looking deck and super structures (or vice versa) or an entire weathered build. You are the one looking at it, and you need to ask yourself if you can live with the one or the other ...
  16. That ... that is all up to you. Consider what you want to establish and what would hence be appropriate. E.g. you weather the hull, would you, or wouldn't you weather the deck (super)structures?
  17. Bill, The fittings are sometimes refered to as furniture by modellers, eventhough they know it is wrong. Besides ... furniture is not just to sit on ...
