    KG, that was impressive. Do you mind me asking which paint you were using and did you have to thin it for the pen? It's been many years since I used my own; some would like to know that the pen is best charged with a brush.

    Yes, I have the same opinion regarding the growing use of 3D resin castings or printings. I note the pointed plank fudge in your own build. No doubt paint will hide that. In fact, if the boat is painted inside and out, why bother using wood at all? A DIY vacformed plastic hull would do........then one could fill an entire harbour with them.

    I recently posted photo's of 3 different 'Falconet' 1:72 4,6, 19 oared boat kits, all of which have the planks pre spiled. I believe there are other similar kits (Master Kirobel?)
  20. shipman
    Are these boats to be painted? If so, this is fine. However, if the planking is to be visible, surely the planks should be spiled correctly (even at this scale). No real boat would be planked as you have done. Once this detail is appreciated, your method reveals the parody it is. Just saing.

    The finest build of this kit I've seen, congratulations. I've had the privilege of seeing/hearing 2 originals and an equally rare replica. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
  25. shipman
    My many years admiring aircraft have taught me they have no discernible panel lines (as depicted on nearly all kits), only subtle contrast from one panel to another.
  26. shipman
    I must say, not only is your build top notch; so is your excellent photography.
  27. shipman
    A big fave of mine; what a machine the 'Frightning' was. One of Airfix's first 'modern' kits and a good one.
  28. shipman
    Looks like a real Honda....you are making a good job of it. (that steering damper needs attention)
  29. shipman
    Thanks for sharing your progress, building this impressive kit of a fabulous motorcycle. I do wish Tamiya would introduce a kit of my favourite, the Phil Read MV Agusta 500-4 from the mid 70's. In my opinion, that was the apex of the basically 'traditional' 4 stroke racing motorcycle.

    ARGH! WONKY rigols! How come I ever missed your previous excellent build. No doubt this rendition will blow my socks off! Glued to my screen for this one.
  32. shipman
    Ab, your images are PNG files one minute, then jpeg's. Would it be possible to make them all jpegs, please (it makes life easier for me, at least). Thank you. Love your card methods. Ab, you say all your photo's are taken or downloaded in the same way. The 3 images in your post #50 are PNG files, yet the single image in post #53 is a jpeg. How did that happen?
  33. shipman
    I've been pondering upon your bulwarks for a while, thinking there's something odd about the horizontal timbers on the inboard side. Surely there should be vertical ships timbers regularly spaced instead. I have no direct evidence, but there would be no structural reason to line over these, as you depict?
  34. shipman
    I just love these small boat builds and this is another winner. Well done.

    Shame you're so far away.....I have 3 in my stash.
