As usual Scorpio... absoluletly amazing!!! :wink: -Greg

Thanks Tino for posting the article. All, please keep in mind that this is still a work in progress and may go through a number of revisions before I am totally happy with it :D In fact the article is now much longer with more build sections already ... and like I said I need about 10...

Hi all, I have finally gotten a chance to post some selected pictures of my Halinski P-51 Mustang build... check them out in my Album. I have litterally about 60 photos or more that will all find their way into the article I'm writing about the build. I have also posted a few of my fave...

Hey Billmcc, I'm almost finished the model and the article... if you want to get an advanced copy, just send me a quick e-mail at lgl@cedara.com and I'll send you the article as it stands... :D -Greg

Oh, and one more thing... the UHU Extra Alleskleber remains elastic once dry and does not crinkle paper. So even with temp and humidity changes that affect paper in terms of shrinkage and expansion - this glue will adjust to what the paper is doing... quite a good product. Check out...

Hey guys, I also find that super glue is quite good when you need an immediate bond. I use Citadel Super Glue (I pick it up at the Games Workshop... hehe I also paint Warhammer stuff :wink: )... this stuff bonds anything to anything in seconds. I use it very sparingly but it works great...

Hey all, Tino... nice work mate :D I have also been building this particular model and I'm in the process of writing a very detailed article about it along with dozens and dozens of photos and instructional material for the build. I will post it for everyone's enjoyment when I'm...

Hey guys, Thanks for all the info... yes, maybe airbrushing the "tea" onto the deck would work... LOL... that's funny... I'm laughing even as I write this... :lol: But it does make sense and a very light and gradual appication would not warp the paper... The ironing idea is also a very...

Ajax, Hmmm interesting... washing the deck with "tea"... well that makes sense given that tea will give it a richer more browny tint... but the application would be very tricky given that too much moisture will warp the card board deck... wish I could find a guide to this technique somewhere...

Maurice, Yes, I know... but the generic stuff is limited in scope... so a 1:200 scale Bismarck could never come even close to the level of detail of the 1:250 HMV Bismarck. Believe me, if I could find the same level of detail for the 1:200 in photo etch add ons this would make my decision...

Actually jrts ... money is not really the issue... time is more my issue. Time is limited... with a family and work I want to be sure to use what little spare time I have to the best of my enjoyment... hence why this decision is so hard for me. Like I said, I don't want to be 50 hours into a...

Hey guys, So I've been pondering this for about two months now while I finish off my Halinski P-51... I know I want to build the Bismarck next but which one? I have read just about everything I could find on all our sister boards and on the net about the HMV, the Halinski and the GPM...

Scorpio you should write a guide to building ships! There are many hints and tricks that you know of that so many of us could really use that I'm actually starting to salivate just thinking about knowledge that you could pass on to us :-) I don't mean just posting random tips on the various...

Nice pics... now I can see them... not sure what happened there... wow... good job... -Greg

Hey Max, Thanks for the hints... can't see your pictures though :-( I just get red X's... would love to see them. I'm still not sure if I'm going to need to smooth it out or not... if it all comes together like the Halinski P-51 I'm building now then I won't need to :-) Anyhow... I...

Yup... have already done that... still the more opinions the better ;-) -Greg PS: any thoughts on the hull smoothing?

Hi all, I'm about to embark on my first large scale card board ship. I'm going to either build the HMV Bismarck, the Halinski Bismarck or the GPM Bismarck. I'm not sure which one yet. I have studied all of them and they all have pro's and con's. Any recommendations in this regard would be...
