Laminated two sets of parts today and have them sitting under the Webster's. Glen I did notice thatt there was a slight mismatch on the kee plates and frame locations on the spine. The reason for the two sets is to see if it was a problem with two different printers or a scaling problem. Or is...

Alas the Oregon did not survive first contact. Just started laying the keel and spine when disaster struck. Had the spine all centered up and square when the glue bit me in the rear end. For a reason known but to the guy upstairs I reached for the CA to glue the spline in place. Wound up bonding...

Thanks. Like I said, it will be abusy weekend plus my daughter is getting married in about three weeks. I need some time to myself it is getting rather much lately. :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :?

After looking over the instructions and the various other pages I ran off some monocromatic prints of the hull frames, deck and plating parts for the test build. On question for you gentleman who have been down this road before. On the waterline plates the location lines for the bulkhead frames...

The Oregon docked in the mail box today and the first thing I have to do is print the instructions out.

No I don't think you have hijacked anything. From my experience on the net a thread is a child that achieves instant adulthood and goes its own way almost imediately or dies from infant mortality. Feel free to run with this all you want. Besides I haven't gotten my copy from Roman yet (expect it...

This whole episode has been incredibly humbling. But I want to know is just were does he find the scale figures or are those card too?

I haven't been able to follow this for the last couple days as I am having internet problems and the local cable company won't be able to come out till friday and check the lines for signal strength. In doing some research on the Oregon on the net I did find the ship was transfered back to the...

I had thought about emailing or snail mailing Roman for any advice if needd, But I really need to loof through the instructions first and do some test builds of monocromatic parts first to work out the bugs if possible. Plus do a practice build of the Admirable Class and the Ambrose. Nothing...

Sent away for the Oregon today and I was wondering if any one out there has built the kit and there any problem or trouble spots to look out for. Hopefully after going through everything I'll be starting a construction thread. If I can figure out the picture posting business. :?

The Hull number of the Arizona is BB39. Is it in the same design class as the Texas, I'm not sure but if it is in the same class the Digital Navy kit would be a good starting point. The ships foremast as it is today looks to be a copy of the Arizona's

Tim, it doesn't hurt to pick up a few styrene kits once in a while. Makes doing the paper casting thing a lot easier in that you've got a master to make the molds from. Right now I'm looking at some of the molds I did for a 32nd scale BMW radial to use in the DN FW190

This has always reminded me of the Boeing entry in the STOL transport competion that was won buy the design that eventually became the C-17. But that doesn't mean Anatov ripped it off either

Looks nice. A couple months ago on Discovery Wings there was a show about the other time the test unit from Wright Field got their hands on a frontline 1950s Soviet Jet Fighter. About a month after the Mig 15 was wrung out on Okinowa somehow the Air Force got their hands on a Yak 23 for testing...

OOOOOOOH MY GOD!!!!! WOOOOOOOW!!!!!! This absolutely begs to be tranformed into an actual 3D item

Seeing as how my Russian (I'm assuming its Russian, I do know its Cyrillic) is a little rusty :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :?

One curious thing about Nadars crusade against the Corvair. By the time he published Unsafe at any Speed, General Motors had fixed most of the problems that affected the Corvair. The swing arm rear suspension and the brakes IIRC. The problems that the vehicle had were still present in all cars...
