Congratulations Danny!
No surprise to me, but nice to see you get the recognition you so thoroughly deserve.

Dan Vadas got a reaction from lmagna in Hr.Ms. De Ruyter by amateur - Scaldis/JSC - 1:250 - CARD
The "chain" placed on deck, it looks a bit flat, and not very inspiring. I don't have ideas how to spice this up, so it is left as provided by Scaldis:
Jan, buy some small brass chain of the appropriate size, blacken (or paint) it, and glue it over the printed area :
I suppose it depends on what you want from a model Jan. A Halinski kit would have had about 50 tiny parts for one capstan, all of them fitting perfectly . If you would rather make the simpler version ...... well, that's up to the builder. In my opinion Halinski is well worth the slightly higher price.

Hi all,
Just some latest news about my model of HMS Hood - she took out "Best in Show" at the annual Port Macquarie Model Show. I took the half-finished model there last year, this year it was of course finished. I also took all the Card models I've built since then. A couple of pics of the show will follow tomorrow when I get home.
Cheers, Danny

Dan Vadas reacted to dvm27 in Swan class 3D model in progress
Our fully rigged Swan class 3D model is almost complete. How cool would it have been to have this photo when building your fully framed model? The CD should be ready later this year. Kudos to Denis!

Dan Vadas reacted to Jim Lad in Meteor 1851 by Jim Lad - Scale 1:96 - Immigrant Ship
Got some time back in the museum at last and, in spite of having a lot of visitors stop to talk (school holidays here), I managed to get a bit done.
The inside of the hull is looking fairly civilised now and the outside is at least starting to come together. Perhaps I'll actually finish the frame one day!

This is the main landing gear bay. I'm going to install all the parts for this and prepare it for the landing gear, but I won't fit the gear until the winglets have been fitted :
Two of the four landing gear doors :
The medicine cups hold the myriad of different parts for the landing gear struts, among a few other items :
One of the landing gear struts. Note the spiral groove cut into the wire with an Xacto knife to assist in glue adhesion :
