Betexa Titanic Model, 1:450 Scale Thanks for the info, David, This is very valuable info for these considering this scale. It´s interesting, though, - I have never really taken an interest in this smaller 1:450 model (smaller than the famous DeLuxe Minicraft pl-stic model) or scrutinized it...

Locking Tweezers BARX2, Thanks a lot for the tip. I have looked around a bit on the web and there seems to be both straight and curved versions of this handy tool. I found a 'Cross-lock reverse action tweezer' a bit down this page, called 'Grobet', that looks good...

Titanic Amended Full Hull Model by chapuzas100, etc Hi Phil, Sure - a scratchbuilt full hull can be nicely blended in with either the Möwe-Wilhelmshavener or JSC 1:400 scale waterline models - it has been done before. Check out this very interesting thread in this forum by experienced...

Hey, BARX2, I noticed in your build photos that you have a couple of very smart metal clamps that hold the joints and tabs together in a straight fashion as the glue dries. Are these surgical instruments? Any hints on what they are called or where they could be obtained would be greatly...

Los Angeles Class Submarine Model by U-Don BARX2, What an exceptionally beautiful and clean build! You continue to impress with your expert model building skills. The lines are so straight and clean and the joints are almost invisible. Great idea to down-scale to 1:200 - the popular model...

RMS Titanic for Dummies - Colouring Phil, I doubt very much that fading of the colours over time of the Fly Model-GOMIX model would result in accurate-looking colours. For example, what would happen to the already light pink bottom of the hull? Or the dark grey or black areas? Please note in...

RMS Titanic for Dummies John John, I just couldn´t help myself - I went and ordered the laser-cut hull formers and bulkheads. Expensive, they are, and heavy, too! Titanic - God, help us! Bengt :cry:

RMS Titanic for Dummies Hello again, John John, I guess you got me going on the RMS Titanic subject, which is something of a passion for me . . . I took the liberty of playing around with the colours of the GOMIX model in one of the photos in jkrenzer´s Titanic build thread - here below...

RMS Titanic for Dummies Hello John John, What an admirable initiative - I find that this is a most commendable effort indeed! Cobh (pronounced 'Cove', right?) is a very nice place - I went there with my family during our summer vacation trip to Ireland in 2004, and we saw the interesting...

Hey, TractorFan, This is not what this thread was all about . . . I was asking around for card models of certain types of showman´s steam traction engines. Best, Bengt :thumb:

Steam Traction Engine / Showman´s Road Locomotive Hi Bob, I got an answer from Lou - they used to have it (a re-print from an older model) but due to a copyright issue they had to stop making the re-prints. I will keep on looking . . . Bengt :thumb:

Steam Traction Engine Thanks for the tip, Bob! I´ll try with Lou at PMI. Moduni.com didn´t have any and they are quite big on card models. Bengt :thumb:

Gomix/ Fly Model 1:200 'RMS Titanic' Card Model Wow! I almost fall of my stool in sheer amazement. This model is SOOOOO beautiful. And you are an expert builder. I must build it, too, some day soon. Bengt :thumb:

Hi all, Has anybody seen a card model of the steam show-type of traction engines, that were copper & brass showpieces on the roads at the turn of the last century? The type I am referring to is the second one in this YoTube video clip, after the pulling steam tractor, the red one with the...

Gomix/ Fly Model 1:200 'RMS Titanic' Card Model Hi jkrenzer, I am glad you liked it - it is indeed a very nice photo, I especially like the deep sea fish which is outlined against the bright search lights of the submersible. The davits, by the way, were a Swedish construction. They are...

Gomix/ Fly Model 1:200 'RMS Titanic' Card Model Hi jkrenzer, Amazing progress! Those life boats and davits are wonderful peices of modeling work. And also the derricks, the deck cranes and ladders. I really love your detailing. Did you know, by the way, that the first davit (No. 1) on...

Coloring of RMS Titanic Models Hi jkrenzer, hi all, 'Old news' directly from the University of Useless Knowledge: I found two more photos of Pater Davies-Garner´s big RMS Titanic model - here we can see two examples of the very light and pale yellow-beige 'White Star Line Buff' color of...

DOMUS La Sagrada Familia Cathedral Model Hi tino, This really is a very impressive architecture card model. And you are doing a wonderful job of it. Did you know that Canon Papercraft has just released a smaller and somewhat simpler model...

The Colors of The Gomix/Fly Model 1/200 Titanic Hi jkrenzer, The colors of the real RMS Titanic are seemingly a subject of endless debate and discussion, for example, the color of the funnels - the so called 'White Star Buff'. As there are no ships left that have not been scrapped up, no one...

Fly Model-Gomix 1/200 Scale Titanic Model Hi jkrenzer, You must be one of the first to build this model and actually complete it! I haven´t seen a completed one anywhere else. Congrats! It is a very impressive build and, as you point out, the fit of the parts seem to be extraordinarily...
