I agree with Coot59, Museum quality. I am not easily impressed, have seen some of the best modelers work in the world, and not to make your head swell tooooo big, you my good friend rank up there with the Masters. The time, effort and dedication speaks volumes about your ability. I saw many...

Sorry for not posting any further about this build. I had a set back. Part of this hobby is like any other form of modeling, you learn as you go. Found out that a gob of white glue and balsa is a formula for a twisted mess. So that is out for a basic hull build. My friend that provided the...

Got the same kit w/laser cut frames, and w/the laser cut frames you also get some PE as well. All that is missing is a set of barrels. Will watch this build since I too will build at some point. INJ are some of my favorite ships. I thought I would add the following, the PE is laser cut...

Welcome aboard Peter, looking forward to your build. And you as I see post build photo's. Hope to see many more.:wave:

I have read thru this thread and also went to the site in Germany and followed along here as well. I have a question for you, at the beginning of the thread on the German Forum, you point out something to do with how to cut the card to not get a beveled half. I work installing flooring and...

She's a lubber alright. Me's thinks shes the boss.

I acquired this kit in a trade for 2 airplane kits. I noticed the sharp details of the railing and stairs, were these PE parts. I have gone to GPM's site and registered, but do not have a clue about how to order, they list the kit, laser cut bulkheads, PE, and barrels, I am not sure but...

This was as far as she got toowall1. The next build will be just as clean and hopefully as good.:wave: Just a bigger version.:twisted:

Mousemuffins1, WOW:thumb:, I hope I can do the same justice you were doing to this build. I just keep looking at the photo's, WOW, incorrect camo and all, WOW. I have a friend who is trying to locate the PE and Barrels for this kit, which I read some where, that if you could build the GMP kit...

Just a foot note: received in today's mail the following. JCS 1:250 Dreadnought, 1999 print waterline. From the ashes, the Ole Gal will return and not in that eye straining 1:700, but in a big 1:250 size. Do not get me wrong, you young bucks w/good eye's can build a great ship from Digital...

Wonder Ba, most excellent. I just love this build. I again say what a tribute to those souls aboard her that fateful day.

I am ready to start the frame work for the Watkins USS Tennessee. I am laminating the bottom to 1/16 balsa and will use for the rest of the interior frame work which will be modified a bit to correct some issues. I have already been provided w/a tip to adjust so deck will match to hull w/o...

Darwin, I believe you are right, I played today, most of it trying to re-size and I believe I now have her at 1:250. After the last project. 1:700, I will feel like I am working on Godzilla. I am looking forward to this build. Will post photo's soon.tooth1

I have re-sized and laid out, ready to start cutting. The only thing I am not really happy with is the color my printer laid down, it is darker than the color version you sent. I played all day trying to correct, but what the heck, gray is gray. I am really looking forward to this build, I...

I am sad to report that the HMS Dreadnought is off line, lost in action. I will however at a latter date rebuild and this time since I have spent the weekend learning print techniques on my Lexmark printer, up-scale the Dreadnought to a larger size. That's what happens when you let your...

I figure this is as good a place as any to start a new build thread. I am able to do this build thanks to eibwarrior who so kindly provided me the download used to build this battle wagon, USS Tennessee, I am not sure of exact scale but looks to be 1:400 but might be a little larger. Rescaled...

Wanted to see my work area can be a mess too. I have to admit modeling in 1:700 is tough. I hope to model my next project in 1:200, a little easier to see:cool:. Anyhow here is a few photos and one is a photo of a line drawing as provided by a good friend here on the Forum. When you compare...

fuchsjos, you are a Master Builder and it was after reading your thread that I went back to paper models after a 30 year break since that first paper mess I made. You have motivated me to build again in this wonderful medium. I have a thread listed now of a 1:700 HMS Dreadnought which is...

OK may work area gets into a mess too:cry: so there is no magic to my build habits.:twisted: Working in 1:700th in paper no less has proven to be a challenge for me. I work until my eyes have had enough. Use to at a young age set up all night building and or painting, but my ole tired eyes...

May all have a Blessed New Year. Made some progress. The bow has been a bear:eek:. Got on and to look as much a part of the ship as I could, you take a piece that is straight along the bottom, sweep and round at same time:eek::eek::eek:, that translates into a part moving into three...
