Sikorsky JRS-1 by Landlubber Mike - Eduard - 1/72
yvesvidal replied to Landlubber Mike's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
I like the interior with the room for the crew in the rear, and the luggage/freight compartment in the front. You can tell that this was better designed than modern airliners which are solely equipped for greed and maximum profit. Yves -
Mark, That is a fantastic study, analysis and attempt at re-creating what could have been the stern of Bellona. Personally, I like the second and more modern interpretation and that is probably because it is what is provided with the CAF Model kit, that I recently (almost) completed. I hope you do not mind the picture below: However, I have to say that I really like your drawing as it combines elements of both interpretations and may result in a fantastic and beautiful stern. And nobody will ever be able to contradict what you did, as we simply don't know. Yves

I am wondering what was stored exactly in these bench lockers? They probably were only accessible by officers. Yves

After the 1/48th 3D printed model, this kit must be minuscule, by comparison. You truly have a love for these Corvettes and I understand and share your obsession, too. Yves

What a great model !!! As other experts have mentioned, for soldering the key, is cleanness, flux and proper heat. Once you get the gist of it, it works really well and is super solid. You can then file with emery tape, the extra blobs of solder and after painting, it will look like the real thing. Your wood work is amazing. I love that A/C unit on the side of the cabin wall, so realistic. It truly helps to have your own laser cutting machine. What instrument/equipment do you use? How about the software to draw the parts? Yves

Lamps are finally finished. These kits (from Syren) are little projects in themselves and take some time to be completed. Again, as mentioned before, the lamps are made of 80% Syren and 20% CAF Model parts. Through the glasses of the lamps, you can see the main candle, a blob of wax on the base and the black candlewick. A small maintenance door facing the stern, allows access inside the lamp. Overall view of the stern: Now, I have to find a solution for the staff. Then, we will move to the bow.... Yves

Thank you, Kevin. While finishing the lamps, I have a few questions regarding the staff and ensign on these period ships: - How was the ensign attached to the staff? - Was the staff equipped with a pulley at the top, to raise the ensign? Any precision or explanations would be much welcome. I thank you in advance. Yves

1966 Buick Riviera by CDW - FINISHED - AMT - 1:25 Scale
yvesvidal replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Absolutely stunning. I just saw one 1966 Buick Riviera at a Classic Cars dealership in Charlotte and thought about your model. Yves -
Your model is becoming a museum piece. It is incredible and I can see the Love and Patience being poured into that model. Yves

I would pour the shots, place them where you want them to be and then pour the resin on top. Resin is worse than water (in a way) and will seep through every little holes and cracks you have. Yves
