Nirvana reacted to Dan Vadas in Sydney Opera House by Dan Vadas - FINISHED - Schreiber-Bogen - 1:300 - CARD
Thanks Popeye .
I've finally finished the Opera House. I must say it wasn't the most enjoyable model I've ever built, and I'm not particularly happy with the way it turned out. Here are the final pics :
My next model will be a (Card) Halinski MkIX Spitfire in about 1:50 scale. I'll do a build log for it in this forum.

Nirvana got a reaction from Canute in Warped frames
Question, was the patterns left on each frame while being stored?
That could be one of the reasons they have warped by moisture.

Floyd, as we all know..... a picture showing what's happening is helpful.
Maybe it's not to bad, how about epoxy with silica. The combo we used building our T37s.

I mentioned that I would create a post about the search lights. so here goes. On top of the Pilot house are 3 search lights. The customer has requested that they rotate and the lights work. So Neal has created the design you see in the pictures below. There is the light hood which will hold the LED and there is the shaft thru which the wires will travel. There is also a foot and a cowling. The picture show 2 cowlings. One is upside down so you can see inside. You will notice there is a key inside the cowling. You will also notice that on the roof of the pilot house there is a small copper rod next to the hole in the roof that will hold the search light. So I will place the cowling over the shaft and insert the shaft in the roof. then glue the foot to the shaft and glue the cowling in place. This will ensure that the light does not get removed and the student does not rotate the light until he breaks a wire.

Ok Per you asked for it - here you go. I knew I had a problem but until it was painted with primer. I didn't know it was this bad. the problem is caused by delamination of the outer layer of PLA. I have since learned how to avoid it. But I thought I had reprinted all the parts with this issue. I have tried using a hypo needle and injecting CA. That was partially successful. All that is left is to 1. dry paint and hope the dark colors cover it, or 2. putty over it and paint.

So, Floyd isn't alone in this project as you may have notice.
There's Neal who has done all the drafting from real sketches of the tugboat Alert class named Alert as well.
Neals experience with Fusion360 is amazing who knows a lot of tricks. And he is self taught!
I am behind the drafting and design of the barge, this barge is a hybrid, between two different barges.
One is a 400' and the second is a 250', considering the scale we are working at the barge is very long. Measures 85 inches plus ( 7ft +) or in metric 217 cm plus long.
Here is three renderings I have done, there are no post photo editing.
Position lights and work lights will all be fully functional via a switch-board.

Nirvana got a reaction from CaptainSteve in Vasa by BLACK VIKING - De Agostini - 1/64 scale
That planking looks great! What kind of tool did you come up with?

Those Dutch designers, there was also confusion regarding the measurements, at this time, early 1600 century, one foot or inch wasn't standardized. According to late found plans her rigging should had been shorter. Again the designers wanted to impress the Swedish King and made her taller than needed.

Michael, Done!
I have been watching another D'Agustino build of Vasa.
Fascinating with a subscription build. Maybe it's a good build motivator too.

Nirvana reacted to Chuck in Completed Model Gallery is for Completed models only
Indeed.....everyone needs to set up an album for their photos. One album per subject and only include photos of completed models. No under construction pics as they should be posted in build logs. A description of the project is also important.....what kit...MFG or if scratch, based on what plans and built with what types of materials etc.
