I just love the detailing to this motorcycle. The dent in the tank to the turn signal that is being held into place with tape. The instrument panel looks so real, is it just a low milage or has the numbers gone one whole turn? If you wouldn't have had any items in the background to relate the scale I would had thought it was a real bike.

I have been looking at this model from Tamiya many times and been considering to get it. I am a Honda rider, 750 Honda Shadow Spirit from 2007. Love the bike so that is one of the reasons of maybe buying this kit. Again, you are an amazing job with the weathering of details. Looking forward to see the final bike. Are you to make the saddle soft?

From the PNW a warm welcome! If you are a musician and have built this models with your own critical eyes, I know your models will pass. Glad to see you on board and looking forward to your build log of Lady Nelson.

Converting a Backyard Shed into a Model Workshop
Nirvana replied to Hank's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Hank, I guess you are just like me anxious to get work shop ready to create some dust again.' Looking good! -
Stu, a warm welcome from Washington, USA. I think many of us has various model experiences before we found this website. Sorry to hear about the covid-19 separation between you and your wife. I have watched many videos regarding rc ship combat. It looks fun, but seems costly at the same time.

Are you going to simulate rust holes too? Like in the doors/fenders.... -

That rust detail is so accurate as the Citroen was prone to rust in those areas. -

That's so well done, I like the aging of the model. Wish I had those skills. -
Paul, First of all a warm welcome to our corner of the model ship world. Choosing a Victory model as a second, I like it! I didn't know that the false keel was made out of mdf board. You have done a fantastic job so far. I will follow along this build.

Jesse, that's a very nice finalized model. I think Buddy approves too, otherwise he would have put his teeth into it directly.😄

Beautiful start, like the aging of the parts. -
Go with Gimp or Inkscape, they are both free and will serve the purpose.

Moxis, If you have had a correct licens from the beginning and have the key saved, you should be able to re-start your Corel Draw. Inkscape is tricky to work with, well at least for me.

Converting a Backyard Shed into a Model Workshop
Nirvana replied to Hank's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
That's the best part of having a shed on post or skids, so you can move it. Then it's not a permanent structure. Part of International Building Codes. -
Very nice wheel, I am going to steal the idea from you......😇

Bob, I will try the same with our remote.... as we have Xfinity as well. Thanks for providing the idea. Otherwise using the link provided will help. I did jewelry (silver) soldering back in the 90's, most to give away or sold for a fraction. Had a lot of fun with it. Time to pick this one up as I need to hone my soldering skills. A couple of ear-ring sets I made had the shape of the musical G-clave. Gave them to women in the choir I sang with at the time, highly appreciated x-mas gift.

Malas, You should have the scale answer on the drawings (plans). My guess it may be a Model Shipways kit, part list says scale 3/16" = 1ft

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
