Beautiful carvings in Sculpey. It is looking very majestic. By the way, why do they call it a 74 guns ship? Mine only has 72.... I must be missing some carronades on the forecastle. Yves -
I love your Emma C Berry with full sails. It truly changes the look of that little fishing boat. Yves

Another impressive project. Yves

I pity the other modelers, entering this contest..... They stand no chance. Yves

Another beautiful diorama in perspective. Yves

Ras, do not feel bad about some mistakes. We all do them. Now, for the ultimate perfection in building these difficult kits, a Japanese modeler Kim, is in my humble opinion the BEST motorcycle modeler on the planet. Take a look at his web site: http://kimshouse7015.com/ In Garage 2, near the bottom of the page, the Freccia Celeste kit is built and presented: I have drooled over Kim's pictures so many times.... Ras, I am presenting this work as a reference of what can be achieved with these kits and a lot of extra parts. I still admire your work and sympathize with your struggles in trying to put together these very old Protar kits. Yves

Shipgeezer, you should consider investing into this book: It clearly describes the large modifications that took place between the 1941 version and the 1945 version of the ship. Your question about the number of secondary turrets will be answered. Yves

Impressive show. Motorcycles seem a rarity in these shows, as usual.... Yves

I found that the cannon black acrylic paint sold by Model Shipways is very close to the black obtained by the chemical reaction. It is almost impossible to distinguish them from one another. I have used the acrylic paint, in some places where the chemical reaction with the brass did not take place and I am very happy with the result. Yves

Excellent book to have. Absolutely indispensable for building the Bellona. On my CAF Model (1/48), the planks were 3 mm thick x 8 mm wide. It took about 25 planks to cover one side of the hull (below the wales). Yves

Kit review 1:25 Drakkar ‘Oseberg’ - Ships of Pavel Nikitin
yvesvidal replied to James H's topic in REVIEWS: Model kits
That looks like a great kit. It is very tempting.... Yves -
What a collection. I am sure you are going to grab quite a few prizes. Yves
-
Good choice. This way, you can show all the intricate details of the engine. Yves

I remember bending these planks on the stern of my Bellona model. It is not easy and the angle is very sharp. You are doing a great job on that kit. Yves

Yes, these Protar kits are amazing. I would say this kit was probably manufactured in the early 70's if not before. Yves

Avro Lancaster Bomber by JKC27 - Border Model - 1/32
yvesvidal replied to JKC27's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
What a project !!! First the kit is massive and complex. It is a great idea to have multiple people build the kit and to distribute the workload of assembling such a beast. However, I think it is going to make things more complicated overall (in the long run) and will require regular meetings and close management of the various subtasks. This is a very exciting project and combined with the restoration of the real thing, it will provide plenty of motivation and energy for the various participants. Yves -
Glad to see another BENSWORX virtual kit being built. And another type of Corvette on top of that..... Yves
-
I concur completely... especially, when you have to rig 70 cannons. 😉 Yves
