alross2 Posted March 14, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) This is one of the more unusual items Nic has had me create. It's at 1/24 scale and is intended to be planked on one side, left unplanked on the other. It shows about 20 feet of the actual hull and includes the tryworks. There are about 800 bricks in the tryworks, so it takes an hour or so to build...🙂 Edited March 14, 2021 by alross2 JeffT, WalrusGuy, mtaylor and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Burns Posted March 14, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 14, 2021 That sure is a *very* interesting cross section! Amazing woodwork and masonry. The bricks are individually placed and mortar of some kind between?

The individual bricks are lasered from cork. Each course of bricks is laid with a 1/64" spacer to ensure consistent spacing. Once the brickwork is completed, it is sprayed with red oxide primer and, when that has dried, it is grouted with Spackle. Looks amazingly real when dry. They offer the tryworks as a separate kit, too. coxswain, Ryland Craze, VTHokiEE and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alross2 Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) The chicken coop was a bit of a fun part. It's mostly lasered and the slats are all panels to ensure consistent spacing. The vise consists of 8 or so pieces and is large enough that you can thread the screw and have it operate.

GuntherMT Posted March 15, 2021 Share #5 Posted March 15, 2021 This looks pretty interesting, but I'm kind of confused about why it's in this Traders section. Is it a new kit? If so what company?
