  1. Solving the infrastructure problem before going to the details - good plan. Looks like a cozy old house - what part of the world are you in? Guessing Borden-ish if your partner is with 400 Tac Hel. I may be visiting out thataways in September-ish. Good luck with the Mossie!
  2. That's spectacular! I love the detail and how it all ties together. Really well done. You've created a masterpiece! NS
  3. Very dystopian...and realistic! A great build! I had to go back and catch up on the whole thread. Well done!
  4. I've got most of the 'bits' glued on now. Masts, guns, crane booms, then running gear and RC equipment left to go. I'm generally pleased with how she looks.
  5. The Liberty has now been joined by a Park - see here: Park Class vs Liberty Ship - Line drawings/comparisons? - Discussions for Ships plans and Project Research. General research on specific vessels and ship types.. - Model Ship World™ The line drawings have turned into a visual modification of the Liberty hull into a Park, focused on the upper decks.
  6. Well, launched in late June, pulled out by chopping through the ice to get to her in late December. She survived well - a bunch of the damage came from the recovery process - the park staff were somewhat chilly and hurried. There was a crack in the upper decks, and she had a full load of water in the hull - I poured it out, then had to dry it for a bit when I got her home. I'll have to do some minor repairs, some touch-up painting, then it's a matter of getting her up to Ontario. 6 months in the pond and this is how she looks. I'm generally pleased.
  7. So. As I wait for the paint to dry on the hull so I can add some Gray/camo finish to it, I'm also pondering the flight deck. The flight decks of these little CVEs were wood - however - most of the pictures I see of them show them being not the natural wood colour, rather, they're gray/blue-gray. What would be the right colour for this flight deck? NS
  8. Here's the hull after some 400 grit sanding today...and another light coat of red paint. I'm pleased. Now to wait a few days to dry.
  9. Here's the plans! USS Bodega Bay Plans 3.pdf USS Bodega Bay Plans 4.pdf
  10. Of note, this is the original USS Bodega Bay plan set - there's 2 additional large sheets that I'm going to get scanned and will add - but this gives a good idea of the inspiration for the build, and the level of detail of the original model.
  11. Or, free options that you can work from to build something up: Hughes 269C RC Helicopter fuel tanks and interior parts by TheFox70 - Thingiverse Schweizer 300C Hughes 269 Helicopter scale parts by TheFox70 - Thingiverse Floats for the MD500 Hughes RC Helicopter - RC ERA C189 by Andrej85 - Thingiverse

  13. Thanks! It's sort - of scratch built. I had to modify every one of the modules of the original hull that's on the web. I appreciate DDP's attempts to help me accurize the hull, alas, despite several tries, I've not yet figured out how to loft a hull properly to the forms from hulls I've tried making. So far I'm 0/5 on it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong with them.
  14. I had the model out at the Maritime Ship Modeller's Guild meeting on Saturday to show the guys, and while I was at it, I gave away the 1/350 scale sample print so someone else can putter about with that. Generally pleased with how she's coming along. This is basically where she's at right now. Actually - technically, she's further along than this - the flight deck is now painted gray and the hull has received another layer of sanding/paint and both are residing in my office in the house to let the paint cure.
