Oh, I completely understand, and agree. Pick a color, white/grey plastic is best and teach people about proper primer coating.... -
Actually no, that ship is doing at least 37kts the roostertail will always be there when pushing that much water, the transom flap is installed to reduce the vortex drag off the sharp chined transom, same principle as winglets on the wings of 747's....

Nice Color.... Sharp lookin car.... And an even better one.... There's your car, (except it's in dark green) Now you know why it was molded in Green.....

The town has an ordnance, "no skinnydippin when drunk" The town would have to build a much much bigger Gaol....

Beautiful car, beautiful model.... I like the steering slightly turned that is a nice touch to break the symmetry, a hair more would be better give a bit more action, but she is sleek. looks like she is moving when sitting still.... Question, do the lift doors open? if so, it would make for a much nicer display, show more of your great craftsmanship..... Wonderful Job brother, wonderful job well done...... -
I'm feelin' for him, I'll throw him a Jacobs ladder, if I can find one long enough..... But I will advise, If I can find it, don't be surprised if he chooses not to use it.....

An excellent set of online directions my friend, one suggestion, break it up into smaller parcels to reduce the scrolling, that would make it much easier to read..... Beautiful work.... -
In the Royal Navy, it was used several years before that in the US Navy on the Spruance class ships.... Gives a 13% power reduction to achieve the same speed as without it with the resulting cost savings.... There are two types they had tested, the original type that was fitted to and tested on the HMS Argyll, then retrofitted to the HMS Kent & Northumberland.... And the second type that was fitted to the HMS Manchester..... The first type was more efficient than the second type..... Here is the report as posted to a ship design discussion board..... I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Kent had a different Transom Flap than the Type 42 Manchester had.... EG

That's one of my dream models, still can't afford it, But it would be perfect behind the door to my workshop where it can't be seen until the door is closed..... -
Around here we have a thing called Tagro, it is sold by the 10 yard dump truck full to the locals in the county as garden enhancement..... The name is a contraction of Tacoma Grows..... It's the sifted, composted solids from the local treatment plant...... And yes, it's the best garden fertilizer around..... When they first started, (30 years ago) they could barely give it away, today, it costs too much.......

Today when someone asks for Buffalo Chips, they usually get sent to the grocery store for barbecue flavored munchies...... But back in the day, your great great relatives would have just wandered around the prairie and gathered them up for the night's cookfire fuel....

My approach to this would be to find a D.VII pilot who flew a DR.I It will be easier to come up with a D.VII's markings and then see if you can locate an image of his DR.I The problem is going to be there weren't a lot of distinctive markings for the D.VII's mostly purple/blue lozenge patterns with little else...... They were getting to the point where they just didn't have the time or the confidence to be so brazen anymore being very late in the war and it being clear that they couldn't win.... It wasn't fun anymore..... Air combat was maturing and losing it's charm, it was becoming just as nasty as the lines on the ground....

That's the one thing about Mr Color Clear Lacquers, finding just the right mix..... I've seen a lot of people have great success with 2K and 4K automotive diamond finishes though, if you don't mind dealing with automotive products... The yellow paint look fabulous my friend, a real show stopper..... -

Very Very nice, But if I tried to latch onto one of those brother, I would have to leave it in my will to the offspring...... Fairly steep price tag makes pocher look cheap.... But they do build into incredible models..... especially the L/E versions.... -

That should glisten like a diamond.... -
A very interesting design, been serving since 2010... Here's a review of the Type 45 Daring class destroyers, the largest destroyers ever built....

I agree with Lou, you're TV is probably louder than that.....

Lothar, Goering to name two.... most of the aces that survived the war flew both types.... Beautiful rendering of a period fighter pilots airplane my friend.....

The workings haven't changed in centuries, just advanced in materials and design.... somewhere along the way the dutch perfected the method of allowing the wind itself (using sails) to set the angle of the blades to the wind making them, (by rotating the house) much, much, more efficient, and could therefore be built much, much larger on permanent stone bases.... But they are basically the same as these rotating houses on stilts which are rotated by hand.... That sir is modeling excellence, especially for a primarily wooden structure..... You scratchbuilding master jedi you..... Impressive....

Well, like your sig says, it IS your journey...... I think you will be fine brother, as long as they don't catch you..... EG Blue/grey figures in red coats with white harnesses is kinda strange I have to admit.....

It's a Type 45 RN Destroyer under construction/repair/refit.... HMS Dauntless and HMS Diamond.

GET IT BACK???? I submit, you NEVER lost it!!!!! Very Very nice.....

Yeah, on some of those pics she does, there are a few of her without the 3D radar dating back to 2012/14.... Excellent references as well...
