    Ijn yubari 1/200

    What is the purpose of the black card attached to the sides, is this to stiffen or to black out something behind the hull? I was just curious if the card served another purpose. Thanks.

    Modelik Flower class corvette

    I second that, 1:200:eek:. I have the 1:100 version and just look at, must be a zillion parts, just kidding, but any smaller is out of the question for me. I am looking forward to this build at this scale.:thumb:

    The Mighty TIRPITZ wip

    Loved the last pic of your dad, and I do remember that movie, one of my favorites. Seems like I might be a day short to put forth a two cents worth, but after seeing your work, I for one, would love to see what you would do with the HMS Repulse from Gremir. This is one impressive kit and I feel...

    Fly Model 1/200 Titanic

    I posted that I was able to order a copy of the Fly Titanic from my friend Krys. Today the Post Lady dropped off a heavy box. Inside with some other kits was the Titanic. All I can say is unreal:eek:, and to look at this thread and know you have built this beast, my hat is off to you sir! To...

    Fly Model 1/200 Titanic

    I would like to correct something that was posted else where and appears not to be a rumor, but in fact happened some time ago and that was the statement of a brother that designed for Fly had passed and to buy up Fly kits! I found out today this was true for some time ago, but the kits are and...

    Fly Model 1/200 Titanic

    Thanks for all the info, liked the deal of using the paper railing and adding the wood grab bar across the top. As for the Yubari, I tried to get the brass clock pins, no luck. Would you sell me some and let me see how usefull. I ordered the PE for another kit to get the railings from it. I...

    Fly Model 1/200 Titanic

    Was looking thru Out of Print @ my favorite order house, and guess what was relisted as in stock, I did not even think about it. After seeing what can be made from this kit, my debit card in hand, order placed. I went back and re-read the complete thread and noticed you mentioned Tom's Model...

    Building of huge hull - Yamato 1:200

    Highlander, you my friend are a class act. Looking at the photo's it is hard to tell this is a paper kit. I am a Big Fan of IJN and this one happens to top the list. Have been watching for the local mail order to get in so I can place my order. When I do, I hope you have posted every step of...

    Schnellboot S-100 Class

    The more I mess with these paper contraptions, the more I try to make the parts out of paper. You got the right idea. Boat is looking good.

    Schnellboot S-100 Class

    :wave:Looking good, keep posting. There are several different types of these out on the market and I am always looking at how the different designer's interpatate the design of the ship. This pretty much determines which one I purchase. This one is looking great, the bow is tough no matter...

    The Mighty TIRPITZ wip

    For me BB's rank the highest on the food chain and that especially goes for the Bismark Class. Tirpitz sported B and X turrets in pale grey to stand out, making her to appear to only have two turrets, the deck was camo as your's is. The Battleship fired her main battery on only one occasion...

    Fly Model 1/200 Titanic

    Outstanding, one of my favorite ships. I will look for one to add to my growing collection. I followed your Rodney thread and I have to say as you stated in that thread, the Fly kits are wonderful and do not overwhelm you with too many details. I have wondered what if you had Gold Model Details...

    HG Watkins USS Tennessee

    Thanks for the tip on the info for the re-fit details. I do have another question. I know you said you had sprayed the print-outs twice and you recommended I do it two more times. Does this mean you apply at least four times to complete the process w/Matt spray, and I will assume that the coats...

    Quiet, but not Idle. A couple small ships...

    Teamski, looks good to me and you are a clean builder. I know what you mean about the comic book look, this stopped my going any further with a Watkin's kit until I was provided with a clean copy without the funny paper look. My hat is off to you, you kept on building even though of your...
