Model Shipways paint on plastic
mtaylor replied to jct's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
So it sounds like small bottles of housepaint. -
I'm not sure I agree with you on the Berain drawing. To me it looks like shading to maybe add some depth. Note the lower portion of the hull. I also see the shading except for the carvings high up on the stern on a lot of the other drawings.

KP, it appears that Murphy has decided to come visit you. Which probably explains the glue being "too good".

Your MG sounds like my old Fiat 850 Spider. Fun car to drive when it wasn't in the shop. Use to tell folks that FIAT stood for "Fix It Again, Tony".

Can i live without a BYRNES TABLE SAW
mtaylor replied to shihawk's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
The Hobbymill link/file is worth it's weight in gold and then some. Much of the information such as blade tooth count, etc. is also useful for non-Byrnes' saws. -
Budget, time, and tools are big three questions. I've turned brass cannon using a Dremel and files. Killed the Dremel in the process. As for materials... wood, plastic, metal are all options as well as making masters and casting them out of various materials. It all goes back the 3 questions and then add one more: "what do you want to try or feel most comfortable doing?".

Being prototypes I wonder how many were clay or wood?

Hello Gordon, Welcome to MSW. I see you started a buildlog and that's the best way to get help. There's also a couple of Greyhound logs that might help. Just hit this link and the logs will be found for you: https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/search/&q=greyhound&type=forums_topic&nodes=10&search_and_or=and&search_in=titles&sortby=relevancy

Indeed, there are several things that make us modelers scratch our heads... the capstan with the main mast coming out of the center of it comes to mind. Ah... movie magic....

The detail on your Ironclad "Peresvet" is amazing. I notice that cannon rifling is even visible. It is indeed the work of a master.

Have a look here at this topic, Zack.

Depends on the color. Black, white, and yellow masts and spars were painted. When modeling, it's your choice to paint with paint, paint with wood for contrasts, or not do anything.

Does it separate if you don't use a wet pallet? Try putting it on some wax paper instead.

Where in Ohio are you? It might help with finding someone close to you. And lastly, I'm sorry to hear of his passing. What was his screenname here?

Siol, Welcome to MSW. What you might do is look at the various logs for building this model. That should give you an idea of how much time you'll need.

Sorry but I have no idea where you'd find plans for the ship. Are you looking for a complete set or just the lines drawings?
-
Greg. Welcome to MSW. I'd like to suggest that you go ahead do a build log. Start it from where you are now. You'll get feedback and help as needed.

Denis, Darn you... this brings back many memories... I may have to go look for a kit, now. As I recall those engines were usually painted black for heat dissipation or left bare metal. Most of that era were aluminum and came out (I hope I got this right) Keith Black's shop. There was another engine maker (blocks) that was popular but the name escapes me. BTW, the blowers back then were steel. Late 70's I think, the NHRA allowed them to be aluminum. The originals blowers (for non-gear heads) were used by GMC large diesels. Slicks.. what we used to do was mount them to the wheel, and then spin slowly while holding some very fine sandpaper to the tire. Nice touch on the scatter shield. The brown looks like the "blanket" they wrapped the armor grade steel with as additional protection. It wasn't kevlar but did have (as I recall) some sort of mesh inside.

A masterpiece, Igor. I'm always amazed at the detail and the vision you put into your work.
