Impressive work Glen, I think you have a very near match for the ocean colour you were shooting for. If you go down the path of water from the bottle's mouth, perhaps some clear nylon fishing line CA'd to the mouth of the bottle would provide a starting framework/ligature for the water? cheers Pat -
Nicely executed Dave; the scuppers look good. cheers Pat

Big call Keith - I'll stay away from that debate - Luckily I stick to good ol' rum (Bundaberg preferably) cheers Pat
-
Up to your usual very high-quality joinery work Richard; slowly coming along very nicely. cheers Pat
-
You're welcome to the Fosters Glen but I will try to warn you off that exported 'dishwater' . That diorama is starting to look really good. cheers Pat

For a hull made from no plans that looks pretty good. Probably too late to add some additional filling/backing behind the ply to satisify those 'starving cows'; but if needed you can always glue a second layer in the 'holllows/flats to fill those areas out before sanding? cheers Pat

Ah so that's the trick - gradual grooming - puts paid to my 'shock and awe' approach Looking really good Ian, those line look really good; you must have put considerable effort into the fairing? cheers Pat

That is a very nicely detailed model; especially at the scale you are working at Eberhard. Impressive! cheers Pat
-
I have somehow missed this delightful build Chuck; looks great and up to your usual very high standard. cheers Pat
-
That's looking really good Steven, the sails and increasingly dense web of rigging is really adding interesting detail to show her off. Hat is 'doffed' for such great detail in such a small scale of working. cheers Pat

Hi Glen, I am sure you understood I was simply 'stirring the porridge' so to speak BUT, will be tickled pink if you do. You are developing a very interesting diorama and presentation of your latest creation. cheers Pat
-
That's looking so good Glen; you could get a second job in movie model making. cheers Pat
-
Looks good! Nice use of the tools to achieve this nice crisp bit of joinery. cheers Pat
-
Looks great Steven, a creative solution. Do you have any concerns that the PVA may be affected by humidity in the future? cheers Pat

I'll hopefully stay away from any inuendo and simply say your creations are looking great Glen . Oh, and I still think a couple of spears sticking out of those creations will look great Sorry, couldn't help it., my fingers just kept typing. cheers Pat

I hope all works out well for you Richard. this will be one eye-popping sight to see with the mechanism in place and working the oars. cheers Pat
-
Looking good Vlad, those carvings came up really well. cheers Pat
-
Great info Bruce, thanks. It helps to clarify some of the issues. Seems this Uni has a decent Maritime/Naval Archeology department as Mark Staniforth is a Professor here and he had produced a couple of papers on this subject also. cheers Pat

Value-for-Money Airbrush

I hope it arrives soon Harry; hopefully all in good working order -- no trouble with mine as it was well packaged. cheers Pat -
That's a very interesting find Druxey, thanks. cheers Pat

Value-for-Money Airbrush
BANYAN replied to BANYAN's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
That's the sort of approach I am also looking at Keith. If I restrict its use to simply laying down primer then even if I only get 10 uses out of it, then that is probably 10 models as I use my high-end one (H&S) for the finer and smaller parts. The big 'seller' for me was the interchangeable larger volume paint cups which is what I needed. Roger, I agree, there is not much fine detail work I do with an airbrush. If I was an artist or doing heavy weathering of a plastic model then there is no other way but to go for a better quality brush. Harry, I think you are in an even more restrictive situation than me. I put some water through the other day it it worked fine with the two larger needles. I'll be putting some [aint down soon using the large cup, and that will be the real test. I wouldn't want to drop the thing though, it is very light weight. cheers, and many thanks for all of the comments and feedback. cheers Pat
