Fantastic job Jim! She looks better with each update. Keep them coming!

Kinda cool to have the master ask to see my build thread! :grin: Not sure what you could learn from it but I would really enjoy any insight you maybe able to give so my model could turn out better. Don't expect anything fantastic but here it is. http://www.cardmodels.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3021

Christoph, Excelent build sir. It is inspiring to look at your master builds. I am also glad that the Missouri is number 2 on your list, maybe if I get mine finished before you start yours people will still look at my thread! :-D Although I am really gonna love to see what you can do with the...

Barry, at least your not trying to say there are no mistakes! It takes a great guy to show his mistakes to the world :-D . Keep up the good work, she is looking awesome!

Thanks for the great link! And welcome to the nuthouse!

SCEtoAux, Thank you for posting that link! Worked perfect! Took a whole of 12 seconds to download it, unlike the download from the other site that has been running since my last post and is still only at 73% LOL. Glad its not just me having troublwe with the other site. tikitiki_m, Thanks for...

Thanks for the help Steve! Too bad the file is gone now. I am trying the other site listed above but there is something seriously wrong with it or my computer, best speed I can get the download is 30 bytes per second. Download took 14 hours over last night and this morning and when it finally...

Model looks great! Now if I could just manage to find it and grab a copy :???: .

Man you are really cranking this one out Jim! She looks great and its so small. Maybe I should switch to small scale models then I wouldn't be stuck messing with 5000 small parts like on my Missouri! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing the pics!

Just so everyone doesn't think I have given up, I thought I would post an update. Lots of work done but almost nothing to show for it. This is one of the parts that make up the bulkheads for the first deck of the superstructure. It requires 142 parts be added to it before moving on to the...

Sure is looking good Barry! If my Missouri turns out half that nice I will be happy with it. Keep up the good work and keep the updates coming when you can.

jrts, I have been following your build of the old kit. I must say you are doing an excelent job on it! I honestly do not think that the new kit that I am building would be in much need of redesigning. Up to this point everything with the exception of the red hull plates has fit almost flawlessly...

Found the digital camera so here are some pics of last weeks progress. Side plates are on, I really like the way they designed these. Each side has four pieces. If the pieces were numbered 1 thru 4 with the bow piece being 1 they are installed in this order, 1 2 4 3. Part 3 has an extra 10 mm of...

cygielski, This is the new kit from GPM. As for an update, no pics this time since there is nothing new to show. I have tried everything I can think of to make the hull and have failed everytime. I have tried so many things that the formers have suffered structual problems and I had no choice...

Have started my build of the USS MISSOURI! Publisher: GPM Pages: instructions 1 diagrams 16 full color pictures 2 plain paper formers 11 cardstock parts pages 24 stand is printed on back cover of book Parts: 7000+ (I can not find an actuall count anywhere and I didn't take time to count them...

same problem here. When i try to download one my adobe tries to update itself but there are no updates available. Not sure what is going on with that.

The Alpha Helix was designed by L.R. Glosten and Associates of Seattle, Washington, and built by the Martinac Ship Building Corporation of Tacoma. The Alpha Helix was built in 1966. The UAF took the ship from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 1980. This ship has been all over the world...

Looks like you are off to a great start! Keep posting those pics! Sure doesn't look like the work of a beginner to me.

Some pictures of the almost completed model for your entertainment tonight! This was my first ship build and only my third model so it is not all that great but I am really pleased with it. The edges are not colored due to the fact that this was just a build to get used to some ship...

The model came out great! Keep us posted on the others as you are able to. I am looking forward to how they turn out also! Love those Wilhelmshaven guns, they look great. Keep up the good work!
