Cockpit Coaming Experiment Hi Ron, Got back to late. You've already solved the coaming problem. You did get me thinking about an issue that's been on the back burner for some time so I decided to take action and experiment a bit to see if I could come up with a viable solution. Four or five...

Hmmmm..., Hi All, I prepare 2# to 4# test monofilament nylon by passing a length through 220 grit sandpaper (400 grit will do too). Do at least a half dozen passes to get all the stuff on the surface off and to prepare it for coloring. I use a mixture of Testor's non-rubbing steel with a...

Nice Review & Model Build Sakrison, Thanks for the review and the build report. The additional items make for a better display of the model. On the subject of the midget sub go here: http://udonfact.hp.infoseek.co.jp/paper/down/down.html It's 1:48 but would most probably survive the trip...

Big Rock Data Mountain Where to begin? Your question has a very long answer and besides it's technically complicated. First off most models made for flight simulator are of a certain format compatible with the game. This losely translates to a low polygon count model commonly used in video...

$0.02 Worth..., Hi Lizzie, Hope you don't mind but I did a little Photoshop work on your photo. A water surface was inserted and a copy of the outline of the vehicle was filled with white, made transparent and overlayed on the water to give the appearence of the ships reflection. A similar...

Good Show! Chris, Very nice for a first go! Keep us posted..., -Gil

Hi All, I have been salivating over this model since it first appeared on Halinski's site. I am wondering out loud how long it will take before it is available from sources in North America. Anyone else? -Gil

Remarkably contoured phor a phused phuselage! -Gil

Hey Squinty, Better hurry up before the crew falls overboard! Very nice work. It almost looks like you meant it that way..., -Gil

Very Nice Model Hello All, Had a look at the 747-400j..., for the price this has got to be one of the best models I've seen. The designer has even provided colored join strips for those who desire to build with them which would be a shame not to on this model. From what I've seen so far the...

Thanks Huey! Downloaded it tonight. 23 PDF pages. More after I've had time to look at it. -Gil

Huey, What's the password? -Gil

Hey Squinty! You managed to make paper tubes with florist wire inside. Just pull the wire out and you've just wound your smallest paper tube. One thing about teensey weensey scale is that you'll never experience a storage problem..., only problem I can think of is that you might misplace it...
