takes a bit to mix and match paint, but in the end it will be worth it........the car looks good so far keep at it -
don't feel bad.......I didn't think of that variable either
-
when doing the shroud line, start with two on the right, then the two on the left.......continue the back 'n fourth until done. if you end up with a single line for each side, you just do a half knot and drape them to their perspective side.

looks very nice Seymore........excellent rigging! I'll have try that for my flags too
-
that last picture of the dry dock will give you a real good idea of how the waterline runs

note to self......don't fall asleep it hard to keep up with you! you found yourself a vintage one.....I love building the older kits. they are a whole different challenge one of the earmarks of an older kit is the mold stamp on a visible part of the model........before they smartened up and started to put it in a more suitable location. with your skill, this should prove to be an interesting model I feel your pain on the sanding and fitting.......another case of old molds.

Jeeze........and to think I fancy myself as a drunken sailor! errrrrrr.....you mean mashed...right?!?!
-
it's all part of the territory........some handle it better than others as you get into the art of rigging, you'll find other ways to repair ropes and tie offs looking good so far
-
so good to see an update.......your stairs look better than mine keep at it....your doing great!
-
congratz Bob on such a beautiful model I fail to see your reflection of the kit.......you've done such a masterful job with it. I hope your ills have subsided and feeling better...I know you've been plagued with your health. but that didn't seem to have any effects on the cleanliness your work. I hope that one day, I can build 'em to the level that your at. I hope to see another of your wonderful projects

fantastic looking model! you really did a great job are you going to do a log on the Albatros? should be interesting to see.....I've never built one. likely not in the gallery......I think it's ships only
-
I know J...........I finally got done with the work week. I should be able to put the finishing touches on her thanks Patrick.......far cry from what I did with the English Leather, I can tell ya that! I did a lot more painting on this car. I was also able to figure out things that my feeble mind couldn't back then. with luck, I should have it finished tomorrow
-
did you check to see if the tires will match the wheel wells? the front suspension looks a bit long
-
seems a shame to waste the clear parts though.......you could build the kit as two planes {if the kit supplies all the parts}. you could do the clear one, all closed up, with camo and paint, and for the grey plastic, you can have all the compartments removable ooooops! I forget.....that's what I would do! sorry....I get giddy 'round new kits.

looks good J........good thinking to make those copies
-
not really a race J........sorry to hear of the problems your having though. I'm just glad that this project sparked some interest. these are a very nice scale to work with, but are limited due to the lack of accessories out there to enhance it. thanks for the good word now that I see her in the flesh.......I'm not sure if I had the model I've built so many. I'll see if I can snag another one really like the picture and the link........I didn't know the Soapy Sales was a rail too!! Kewl! thanks Phil...appreciate ya look'in in I'm not quite done yet.......still a couple things to do. I did do a fit of the body on the chassis......the hoses off the fuel tank were holding the body up. I pushed it down lightly, and the body closed down the rest of the way. I left the body on for the time being......perhaps it will alter the hoses.....the natural bends that they seemed to have learned, all balled up in the bundle. one more update should finish her up.........and yes J........thre will be pictures!

my brother had to pull the dash in a Ford Taurus........glad it was him and not me
-
don't forget the popcorn sorry to see that
-
did ya need to pull away the dash?

well, just so you know that MSW allows you the ability to post pictures on the site. there are some sites that I joined and later left, because they don't allow it. I had a bad experience with one....... now I keep all my pictures on memory sticks.....much easier thanks for the link.......I also noticed that they have one for bi planes too. wouldn't be too hard to make other 'jaw' attachments to fit other types of hulls. sounds like my budget director is good with the idea of me ordering one.....but I see that it says that they are out of stock. I'll find out......thanks again yea......not sure if the Germans division-ed their ships like other navies
-
looking really good Peter.........is that Obechi. I use the same wood.......I get mine from Billing USA. it's a rough wood.....but it does sand down smooth. that's a fine deal you'v got there......especially when the winch you show goes for around $24.00 on BB USA
