looks like a very interesting project Yves. I dabbled with Apollo when I was in school. looking forward in seeing your progress. you are correct in thinking that round tube brass will work better than solid brass rod..... -
Rafale by CDW - FINISHED - Hobby Boss - 1:48 Scale

I have some catching up to do..........you've already got a head start on this project! with those graphics, you will have one sharp looking model. to me, for the landing gear, it looks like white mixed with a little silver or aluminum.......kinda like a baked on finish. -

bookmarked it........I'll check it out

catching up on your sub Yves........the engine room is really awesome! complete with lighting, it is an very well detailed model to be sure. I hope you had a super Christmas.........I hope the New Year brings us back to htis wonderful project
-
catching up on your progress......really nice work on the structures so far the railing bases could have been done in brass sheet too.......eliminate any chipping. smart thinking on gauging the height......not all eye bolts are alike look'in good !
-
...and there's Michael....."trying to shed new light!" I can agree with you........some of the kit supplied stuff is terrible. so far your enhancement of the lantern is looking quite promising!
-
super job on the hull.......the studding really make her looks rustic glad to see some of your work
-
comm'in along splendidly Danny very nice!
-
looks like it turned white on you...unless it's the angle your holding it. I got the roden kit @ 1:32 scale for Christmas.........showcases the same paint scheme, along with three others. I have a small collection of D VII's and Dr 1's. I hardly have any luck using other paints or stains......I stick mainly with enamels.
-
you did a great job on the plane......great look'in collection too the dresser looks really good too. I used to work in a cabinet shop in Florida in my younger days......mainly prefab .....assembly line. my best friend's mother used to run the vacuum form machine for the vanities......I used to router the fillers for her, when I wasn't run'in all over the paint room filling in. we did nothing like that though........some really nice work
-
look'in really....really nice! I admire you paint work........well done
-
I have never seen one of these kits before..........very interesting and a very nice start {again}. are you using clay to make any bricks that you might need special?

it is.........neat! it was part of Revell's 1:96 series......I was always under the impression that there were only several models, but I'm finding out that there were more. a few were 'cloned' to create others in the series.....the Galleon was {I think}..the only one that was a slightly smaller scale {1:89...I believe}. -
very nice! hope your having a great Christmas day right now

ERTL played a part in a couple of model companies..........as well as Matchbox and Mattel. there is a large scale Revell Spanish Galleon that I'd like to get. you really did a great job on this one......looks super cool! I did some experimenting on embossing emblems on sail cloth, using a printer. there is a log of it somewhere here........... -
catching up Greg...........can't believe tha amount of realism you've instilled ........ absolutely amazing! have a very merry Christmas !

thanks for the stellar review........but there are many who are much better than I am. ....and as I mentioned, I've seen many configurations pertaining to stacking the logs in the tender.....I went my own way with it. one looked very much like yours.....so you see, there is no wrong way to stack wood {unless the engineer got ticked at you for wasting space }. -

I think you did a superb job on the General your collect is very large...........when I was a younger lad, I could give a better 'go' to best you .........my gallery now is only a fraction. perhaps you can start a log, showing us some of the techniques you like to use. -
looks really good Jan
-
superb paint so far

hello Yves....thanks for look'in in and the kind comment. I don't have any plan to mimic the water, but I do plan to add rocks around the pilings and some scenery green to represent seaweed growth. I haven't done much due to the hectic prep for the holidays, save for something I've had stuck in the back of my head for some time now........figured I'd let the beast out and breathe. I hope to get back to doing something meaningful soon
