Bottle Ship Models Ha! That´s a very clever way of doing a bottle ship model! Without having to bend and fold all the masts and sails and raising them again with a thread once the ship is glued in place inside the bottle. I would really love to see The Cutty Sark inside a flask or bottle...

Ahoy all ye sea dogs! Canon Papercraft has released a fine little model of the most famous British sailing ship - The Cutty Sark. It is an elegant and straightforward model, with all the sails in place: http://cp.c-ij.com/en/contents/2027/cuttysark/index.html Skimming through the...

Guess My Model Hi Gary, My guess is that it is the giant Mars rocket plane, that was assembled on the ground before take-off. It appeared in the first color feature film with the Thunderbirds - was it "Thunderbirds Are Go"? Bengt :thumb:

Stingray on Super 8mm Hello Peter, Well, you will get me going on this subject . . . just tell me when to stop! Apart from some short copies of the Stingray series and Thunderbirds, and some cartoons like Popeye, Mickey Mouse from the late 30s, or Donald Duck from the 40s, I also have a...

Original 'FAB 1' Rolls Limo/Sub Hey guys, I know this is the STINGRAY thread, but wouldn´t it be really cool to have Lady Penelope´s pink 6-wheel 'FAB 1' limo as a paper model, perhaps with a heat-molded plastic top/canopy . . ? This is the one I mean - the 'original' Rolls-Royce FAB 1...

The Aquaphibians and Lord Titan Right, Gixergs! The Aquaphibians! I remember now. I think I actually have a big reel of spliced WALTON black & white Super 8mm STINGRAY silent movies stashed away somewhere in the attic - I have to go look for it, to experience these magnificent...

Terror Fish Model Exciting stuff, Gary, I still remember the 'Creature from The Black Lagoon' fish-humnoid types that steered this sub . . . Very good that you are making it to the same scale as the STINGRAY. I have cut out all the parts and begun shaping them now. Keep up the good...

Stingray Model As A PDF File Thank you, Gary, for uploading the STINGRAY model as a PDF! I have just downloaded it. It is a beauty! I will commence building it as soon as possible. All the best from Stockholm, Bengt F :thumb:

Model Designs by Gary Pilsworth A wonderful design collection, Gary, The 2001 - A Space Odyssey PanAm 'Orion III' space clipper is still my Nr.1 favourite. Do you think you could release the new STINGRAY model as JPEGs for us poor Mac users? That would be great. I´d like to build it...

A Gerry Anderson 'Stingray' Sub Paper Model - Finally! Gary, This is a paper modeling dream come true! I am old enough (55) to have experienced the STINGRAY TV series here in Sweden in black & white, when I was a very young teenager in the 60s. I downloaded your new model from the...

Make a Model TITANIC Book Thanks, John John, There is still a LOT of work on that one, to get it where I want it, though. Best, Bengt :thumb:

Make a Model TITANIC Book Hey Billy and John John, I got that model book, too. It´s a very nice one, even though the models are a bit simplified. I kind of liked the idea with three models, showing the liner at different periods in time. I actually re-colored the whole bow wreck model, and...

'RMS Titanic II', 'RMS Gigantic', or 'SS Titan' Sailing in 2012? Hi all, There has been some speculation and dreaming over the years on constructing a full scale replica of the great ocean liner, and perhaps make a centennial memorial voyage from Southampton to New York in 2012, thus...

Photoshop for Dummies Hi Art Decko, I´m glad you mentioned the 'Burn' and 'Dodge' tools in Photoshop - I use them a lot. They work exactly like the black cardboard dodges on a wire or big black cardboard with a hole in it, that I onced used below my black & white photo print lab enlarger...

Photoshop for Dummies Phil, The software doesn´t do anything - it´s you who are the wizard! Good luck! Bengt :wave:

Phil, Photoshop isn´t that mystical, magical or difficult, really - it´s just an image tool. I don´t claim to be an expert - I just use a few of the very effective adjustments, on both photos and card models. I perhaps use 10% of all the various adjustments in Photoshop but that will go a...

Photo Ink Jet Papers vs. Offset-printed sheets Phil, I would say, that if you use the best quality matte heavy-duty photo paper that you can find, ink jet prints are way BETTER than any offset printed sheets. You will not get the dot pattern that are there in offset prints and the blacks get...

Hi John John, Yes, this thread is rapidly becoming a great meeting place for RMS Titanic discussions. I recognize the quay and the narrow road along the harbour in Cobh from your photos - we parked our hired car just nearby that yellow building and walked over to the Titanic exhibition...

Colour Saturation in Paper Models Hi Art Decko, I agree with all you said about colour saturation in card models. I often scan models just to be able to take away the garish colours, which makes them look like toys. In the case of the RMS Titanic, one has to be very careful with applying too...

Betexa Titanic Model, 1:450 Scale David, I see what you mean. It appears the Betexa model is a simplified version, perhaps for very young paper modellers. Ralph Currell´s RMS Titanic model at the small 1:1200 scale (only 9 inches long) seems to be more detailed and accurate that the...
