Simply way cool. I have a long way to go to get that good. One question: you replaced the paper decks and ribs with balsa? O.k. one more, how did you attach the paper plating, etc, to the balsa, white glue still? Thanks,
That works great. The kingposts in the live pic are not the ones the models has me doing. At least from what I can tell from the models line drawings. I can only think that the kingposts were from a more recent refit, the model is from an earlier time. On ward..... (-:
Your pics are so good that you convinced me to try it as well, sometime. I had looked at getting last year but there are other builds first. Your pics and your work look outstanding. Thanks,
I'm nearing completion of its fitting out but I have a poor idea about how the masts look. Is there a source or info that gives a head on view of them? By the by, its a good ole paper model. I don't fiddle with them like some of you experts do with your builds. Not that I don't want, just...
Yamoto looks like an expert job. Man, you have space for homeporting such a large model? I along with others really look forward to your progress, at whatever speed it happens to go. Good luck. :)
1:200 scale
I fitting out the JCS Invincible at 1:200 and I hope mine will look as good. It's only my fourth build but between this site and my own mistakes, I've learned real fast. Did you do multiple, very thin coats of spray paint? Thanks,
Novice question
What caught my attention was the statement "next step is grinding and coating with white glue...." I can guess but would like to know what it intails, what does it mean? Thanks,
How much of a pain would it be, if this site can do it, put all of your notes into one nice article, with maybe a few more pics? Your work is awsome. I have the GPM MkIV in my to-do. Big difference between armour and ships. Tks.
