Looks good enough to go for a spin. Actually it looks too nice to expose to the street!...Moab

Dan Vadas reacted to mispeltyoof in Scottish Maid by mispeltyoof - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - scale 1:50 - Rod Buckle
Posting my "car crash" planking to share with others like me who see the wonderful builds on here and despair of their own efforts. I have decided then rather then fill the in enivitable gaps with filler I'll do what the original makers did and fill the gaps with slivers of lime wood.
Hopefully it can only get better 🤞

Dan Vadas got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Yamaha MT-01 by Dan Vadas - CARD - FINISHED
Thanks Kevin. I'm going to stick with Card for a while yet as I don't have a workshop suitable for wood models at the moment. That may change in the future.
BTW - I edited your Signature to make it a bit smaller. The links now work by clicking on the model's name instead of using a separate one.
Thanks David. I'm a bit "over" these particular kits - they aren't particularly well designed. My next kit of a WW2 German Tank looks like it will be quite challenging .

The model is now finished. I made a simple stand from cedar and gave everything a couple of coats of clear gloss :
My next "real" model will be a WW2 tank made again from Card. While waiting for it I downloaded a fairly simple ship - a German Monitor named Mosel. A link to it can be found in my Signature.

Fitting the motor to the frame :
The airbox took a bit of tricky fitting, aligning the two pipes :
The exhaust system fitted rather well, although I had to cut one piece off and re-align it slightly. I started by gluing the two short pipes into the barrels :
The tank and seat had to be modified quite a bit before they'd fit properly. They both turned out OK :

Thanks Popeye.
The two crankcase side covers, footpegs and levers :
That's all the parts finished and glued into modules. All that's left now is to glue all the modules together .

The Headlight :
The exhaust system. Some sections are glued together after fitting the first ones :
Finally, the seat :

Dan Vadas got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in Mosel 1872 by Dan Vadas - FINISHED - Paper Shipwright - 1/250 - CARD - German Monitor
Hi all, here's a simple free download from Papershipwright of a German Monitor named Mosel. I'm building this while waiting for my next "real" model. It should only take me less than a week to build this one.
Work starts with the bottom of the hull. This is a Waterline model, which simplifies everything a lot . There are five tabs on either side in the almost straight midsection :
The internal bulkheads were fitted next :
Then the three decks were laminated to 0.3mm card and fitted to the hull :
Next the model was attached to a piece of heavy card as a "building board" using double-sided tape, and the sides were fitted. The support struts were rather flimsy until I glued a second piece inside them :
I've made the Turret "turnable" :
So far it's taken me 3 days to get to this stage.

Great work Danny - another fine model build from a master modeller. It looks like you're really enjoying your sojourn into the world of card modelling.
