OUTSTANDING...... your execution of a weathered non-specular blue paint job is very very good, one of the best I've seen yet... Too bad there isn't a 1/24th Corsair to go with it.... (but I've heard rumors that trumpy is working on one) -
decorative wooden box by Edwardkenway
Egilman replied to Edwardkenway's topic in Completed non-ship models
Fine work, you know if the admiralty commandeers it and re-purposes it, that is the absolute tacit seal of approval.... To me that always made the 2nd effort worth it.... Good Job... Nice lookin' box btw.... -
Sounds to me that the case maker has some serious considerations to make as far as his shipping department is concerned.... I'm sure he will make it right, sounds like a good chap, so look at it as providing a service to his in finding out and correcting his delivery.... I'm sure he knows how frustrating this has to be for you.... I think in the end, you will be more than pleased....

I know the draw of showing all the features, but so you have a clear picture historically, wings folded, no bombs nor extended flaps..... Weapons were only installed during mission ops, they made the plane too heavy for arrested landings on the carrier deck.... also the wings were usually in some state of fold when not on the flight deck or undergoing maintenance.... It's an interesting aircraft and a must have to fill out a prewar flight deck....

I remember when I was a young man working in several shops that had exactly that type of gas heater, some worked, some didn't, but when they worked they worked well.... Nice job duplicating it......

Those are two males, so it is a territorial thing, Get out in the woods up here and you can see Hawks and Eagles do it all the time during mating season..... This is mating season here..

I only wish they could read english, that would be a great help to them I suspect....

They would be fools not too, imho.... (at least until 3d resin printing catches up)

Or maybe a helmet, a solid one, Kevlar would work.... {chuckle}

Kinda what I thought as far as the look.... Good look though.... The Royal Navy removed it from service in 1804, not only was it a bear to fire, it brought fire to bear on sails and rigging and powder... Reports have it as a veritable blowtorch when fired, the blast would reach 9 feet, (with fully charged barrels that is) I believe the Pawn stars clip was only partially charged.... The last authentic one sold at auction in England, (in firing condition) went for 25k pounds, the 30k dollars they were throwing around on the show as a price would be a bargain if the gun was real and not a reproduction....... Personally if I owned such, it would NEVER get fired.... Worth too much to even let powder near it...
-
They were strictly a Royal Navy weapon for close quarters fighting, repelling boarders and the like..... There is no record of them ever being used in any other military capacity, (the RN removed them from service in 1804) except in Napoleonic war fiction.... Like the Richard Sharpe series of novels by Bernard Cornwell...... Check it out.... (pawn stars season 13)

Look like that young man on the right is carrying a Nock Gun.... I hope he doesn't hurt himself when he fires that thing....
-
I agree with Lou, you just about have it down..... Couldn't ask for better.... Not dirty, just dusty....

Fokker Dr.I triplane by cog - multiple - 1:72 - PLASTIC
Egilman replied to cog's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Yep, it also the Knights of the Sky series, definitely 1/48th and some of the best kits they produced...... They will build into beautiful birds.... -
They are identical to TUSK I, (just sized a little larger) the Scalloped plates are distinctly TUSK II, an add on to TUSK I

Each genre of modeling is a black hole of excitement and anticipation, Armor is no different.... Once you see and feel the attractiveness and excitement, it will suck you in...... Give in to the force, you will not regret it my friend....
-
I have all the faith in you that you will get it over the finish line brother.... Not an issue my friend.... Beautiful work.....
-
Oh the truth is the truth brother.... things are stabilizing here... Collecting info on Tanks right now, (mostly M1 Abrams) and considering my next build.... recharging as we speak..... {chuckle} I have five cans of paint coming in mail, Nato Black, Green & Brown with a little armor sand thrown in for good measure.... Something simpler....

I've read the same reports from several sources as well....
