JohnEnglish Posted April 6, 2020 #246 Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Has anyone ever bought anything from Shapeways? They're a service where people can upload 3D models of things and you can pay to have them printed. They have a bunch of 1/200 stuff for the Missouri. I've bought stuff from them before for other projects and it's really good quality. https://www.shapeways.com/product/WUY79P9WF/1-200-usn-40mm-quad-gun-tub-aft-deck-starboard https://www.shapeways.com/product/QMMCR7JJF/1-200-usn-40mm-quad-gun-tub-forecastle-port https://www.shapeways.com/product/BJ5S997JF/1-200-uss-new-jersey-uss-missouri-quadruped-mast https://www.shapeways.com/product/BAT5UQK8G/1-200-usn-midship-4th-deck-starboard-gun-tub-bofor https://www.shapeways.com/product/WSUW9QN6T/1-200-usn-mk38-gun-director-mark-8 https://www.shapeways.com/product/JC4M5S7AM/1-200-us-navy-aircraft-crane The guy who does a lot of ship stuff has his own website and, although a lot of his stuff is in 1/192 scale, he can re-calibrate a lot of models for 1/200. https://distefano3dprint.com/collections/1-192-scale Edited April 6, 2020 by JohnEnglish mtaylor, EricWilliamMarshall, popeye the sailor and 3 others 6 Quote

semorebutts Posted May 16, 2020 Author #261 Posted May 16, 2020 I first painted in weathered everything plastic then I had some PE work to do with the floater nets and the guns and then those were ready for paint also then finally when those were painted I could install everything onto the deck Now onto the last section of the main deck does anyone have any experience with cordless air brushes? I just seen them for the first time and I am very curious as to if they are good or not. yvesvidal, mtaylor, EricWilliamMarshall and 4 others 7 Quote
Landlubber Mike Posted May 16, 2020 #262 Posted May 16, 2020 Wow, those are beautiful! Nice job! Can't say I've even heard of cordless air brushes. How do you attach the air source if cordless? If you have to attach a can to the brush directly, seems like it might be a bit awkward to handle for doing detail work, but maybe it actually works just fine? semorebutts, mtaylor, cog and 1 other 4 Quote Mike Current Wooden builds: Amati/Victory Pegasus MS Charles W.

semorebutts Posted May 17, 2020 Author #263 Posted May 17, 2020 the black cylinder is a rechargeable battery and a compressor. Apparently it can spray a consistent 25 psi for 40 minutes on a single charge. If that’s all true it’s a dream. EricWilliamMarshall, Landlubber Mike, Old Collingwood and 1 other 4 Quote
cog Posted May 17, 2020 #264 Posted May 17, 2020 Mike, either an electric, battery run, mini compressor directly attached to it, or a pressured cannister. I've seen them, but it looks rather clumsy to me. I prefer the pencil shape without the encumbrance of an "airpressure unit", however small, attached ot it Old Collingwood, semorebutts, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

Wolfman Posted July 20, 2020 #270 Posted July 20, 2020 Hi Scott, Great build so far. I hate to change topics, but I sent you a question at the very end of the last page of your Bismarck build. I was hoping you could answer it on that build page. It is reference which Tamiya Gray colors you used on your Bismarck model relative to the hull, superstructure, etc.. Thanks Wolfman Canute 1 Quote
