New to modeling where to post a kit build for advice?
Old Collingwood replied to bosco72's topic in New member Introductions
What type of kit/kits are you building or want to build? Welcome by the way. OC. -
Indeed Roger and very costly if you take it to extremes, if you are just a basic pike man - its quite an easy and cheap way in - they will even lend you some gear/clothing till you can either maker your own/have someone make it for you or buy it. OC.

Evening all, I got a bit more done on the "Wokka Bird" first I glued the two sections of the cabin bulkhead together, then I removed the rear cabin floor and did small amount of tidy up around the edges - then I applied a couple of coats of the main Grey colour, then when dry I have masked out the floor ready for the darker Grey colour.

Amazing work - truly museum quality. OC.

Thank you for the link, I was really into the whole reinactment society - still have a few internet friends who take part for either the English Cival Society (ECW) or the Sealed Knot, I have alwys loved the Royalist side ( I dont know something about the look of a Cavalier) I toyed with becoming a member as a Royalist Dragoon, but I have never been on a horse. I still love the whole thing but from my armchair. OC.

15' Dinghy by Bedford - FINISHED - 1:1 scale
Old Collingwood replied to Bedford's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
OK! lets get this into perspective - we build our models in our forum we all use our skills and turn out some Amazing work, But, this is on another level with this level of skill on a full size media - Amazing. OC. -
Hi all, right straight in - The kit starts with the inside cabin/cockpit bulkhead, this has shelf with different items on it - and the other side of the cockpit entrance is some pipework and wiring, basis steps of primer - paint layers - details - shading then highlighting. Its a start not looking too bad. OC.

All that work has paid off Gorgeous Job - thats about as good as those kits could be - you should feel very proud of what you have done. Pleaase please build SS Canberra if you can find one - you could either do her as she was as a liner or as she was in the Falklands carrying troops and a bit beat up due to the weather. Love your work. OC.

Good seeing you here again Mark, sorry to hear of both of your spells of I'll health, look after your selves - looking forward to seeing you back in the building swing. OC.

I think it depends on the size of your project and the available space you have, also with the project - it also depends on the scale of difficulty of the kit and range of your skills, this would affect how many tools and other things you need to work on your project. As a kind of example - my work space is our dining room table that I have commondered and use just for my model building now, it gives me an area of about 4 x 3 feet but it does the job. OC.

Yep something about the sound of the chinook can always here one miles away when they do occasionaly come over. OC.
