SaturnV got a reaction from mtaylor in Inlay Wood
Hi Kieth and thank you very much for the input.
I got the same response from my wife on my last model. I always run this sort of thing passed her to keep me from straying too far into the absurd when trying new things for my models. I think it looks good but in the end I'm usually the only one who feels that way. 🙂
And BTW, my latest use of an inlay strip is on an early 16th Century dutch ship. Perhaps I got that one right. The wife will let me know.....

I have used store-bought inlay wood strips on a couple of models and think that it does add something to the look in a positive way.
Not all of us (including myself) can actually carve decorations for our ship models and this may be an alternative to that. I just substitute a planking strip with one of the inlays. They are usually the same thickness and bend fairly well to the contour of the ship. They also stain well.
Am I cheating? Are they too gaudy? Your thoughts?

SaturnV got a reaction from Canute in M40 and CCKW Diorama by SaturnV - FINISHED - Tamiya
Hi folks!
I did not know until today that I could post pics of other types of kits than ship models.
I have built plastic models of just about everything over the years and this is my first diorama that I built almost two years ago.
For me, wooden ship model building requires me to have a certain frame of mind - it takes concentration and problem solving that don't come easy for me. So, I have to do plastic model bashing to get to the point where I feel confident about working on wooden ships. This is one of those projects that got me back to wooden ships (namely the paddle wheel ship The Reti V.).
This is two Tamiya kits that I put together and placed on a wood fiber board base that I covered with play sand, spray glue and some store bought bushes and shrubs.
The M40 was made with an after market barrel and the ladder is just scrap wood.
The CCKW truck is stock with a balsa wood airplane tissue scratch built tarp and additional bags and boxes from a Tamiya extras kit.
I purchased additional ammo shells to get a complete set that would be carried for this type of motor carriage gun.
The figures came with the M40 kit and were my first attempt at modeling scale people.
The diorama was based on a photo I found on the internet:
