    What scale(s) do you prefer?

    Interesting question...as for me, I like 1/600 scale for the most part. It just seems to build into a ship size that suits me. It's a nice size to fit into a small display area but still large enough be able to add doable details. I have built one at 1/1000 scale, but that was at the edge of...

    Micromodels

    Hi, David! I have a few of these Micromodel kits in the "to do" stash, but haven't built one of them as of yet. I do like the smaller sized models, as you might have noticed in my build of a 1/1000 scale MS Krefeld. http://www.cardmodels.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3172&highlight=krefeld...

    USS Tarawa LHA1 1/200

    And he's off!....:grin: A very nice start, bazzer! What's the thickness of the card you are using for the formers? Seems a tab thin, but, then again, I've not built any of these larger ladies yet so what do I know?:oops: Just noticed how extreme that curve is for the bow, mit be a...

    USS Spruance 1/200th

    Wotcher, bazzer! I'd say the rails came out really well on the bow...quite an impressive job, mate! You always seem to find those little details that really make your models come alive, well done!! Are you planning on making available as a kit? I'm sure there would be a line waiting...

    Lightship Ambrose - Free Model Competition

    I used to work downtown Manhattan (I moved last year to Mineola), and visited the South Street Seaport many, many times...the water is exactly what you would expect around a major city, but perhaps cleaner than it used to be. Fishing is better now, but I still wouldn't drink the water.:grin...

    USS Spruance 1/200th

    Well, it's clear you've got this down to a science, mate...both Spruance and the "hull without tears" have superb railing work. Looks like you are getting to the end on both projects very soon...wonder if you've considered what's next? Keep at it mate! Cheers! Jim
