More missing pictures. Scott K.

I thought about making one long post with the missing pictures as Zathros suggested, but wanted to keep them in context. Here are the ones missing from the above post. Scott K.

Thanks, Zathros. The pictures were lost (I think) to a combination of a forum glitch, and the deletion of my old account. I also lost them myself temporarily, but have them back now. I just re-read the whole thread myself a couple of days ago, and was considering replying to my old posts...

Sorry for the lack of updates, too much real life got in the way. The main tanks have been added, and a stand made for the model. Dents, dings and warps courtesy of my cat (knocked the model down three times). Too much rain and wind to take pictures outside lately, so I snapped a few quick ones...

Hello Circletrack37, welcome to our collective madness! I did a quick Google after I read your post above, but had no luck. Where did you find an '88 Regal model? I'd love to have one myself. My first car was a '73 Regal, another I'd like to model sometime. Scott K.

The latest version has been added to the collection, the C-75 version. The aircraft of both TWA and Pan Am were "drafted" into military service, but only the TWA aircraft were modified and repainted. "Commanche" represents one of them. Thanks again to John Dell for his great repaints and...

Hi Dean. Welcome. Sorry, she's going to kill you anyway. Wait 'til she finds out how many freebies there are out there that you can build. Not to mention how BIG some of them are... Scott K.

First tanks added. The first half of one of the main tanks is in the background. Sorry, not a very good angle on any of these. Scott K.

Rhaven, are you sure we're both looking at the same model? :rolleyes: Here's the latest pictures. Slightly better for having been taken outside, once the wind finally died down. The tank support frames have been added. Time to start the tanks themselves. Scott K.

Thanks guys. I'll try to put up some more pictures today, if I can. I'm facing a possible utility shutoff, literally any minute. I'm hoping they'll hold, since I told them we were expecting a payment to come to us any time this week. Meanwhile, I built the tank supports last night. Now it's...

Last night's progress, steering engines added. Tank supports next. Scott K.

Here's what my city just had to put up with for the past 10 days. Rochester stood-in for New York City, for a chase and action sequence being filmed for the latest Spider-Man movie. Stills and video clips linked. The chase shown in the second half of the first video was right in front of a...

Another small update. Sorry, still poorly lit. I was planning to take it outside, but its raining now. I also noticed after I already put the pix in my computer, that the lense had a big fingerprint on it (probably courtesy of the neighbor boy my son babysits). I'll clean it properly before I...

Paper Model Studio has begun releasing parts for a 1/200 JMSDF Aegis destroyer, the "Kirishima", here; http://papermodel.jp/ Just page 1 so far, but the finished pictures look very promising. If its like past releases, there will be one or two pages a day, until its all released. Scott K.

Laminating means to glue multiple layers of cardstock together. Most commonly to make thicker formers snd/or frame pieces. You rough cut a part out, then glue 2 or more additional pieces of scrap to it, then let dry. Once the piece has dried thoroughly, cut out the finished outline. At least...

Rogerio, what you say makes sense to me, engineer or not. I hadn't considerd the weight of the lander. I imagine the speed would be fairly high after reentry, though. Not sure how it would glide once they slowed down. Here's the ARES plane I was talking about before. This page also includes...

Sorry, I should have answered this sooner. The ships were to be assembled in orbit, so the size of anything wouldn't have been a problem. An earlier version of the mission had the wings strapped to the sides of the landing boat, with final assembly in Mars' orbit. Unless you meant the size of...

Scale Comparison Now I can post what I meant to this time. I found myself wondering just how big the Mars ships would have been in real life, so I did a quick comparison sketch. The Lander with Interplanetary Drive section attached, is shown with a seperate Ascent Stage, next to a Saturn V...

Now I'm confused. My latest post here disappeared! Well, time to try again. A small update. Well, actually, a "bigger" one. I've started a test build of the "coloured", larger, 1/144th scale version. Sorry for the usual poor pictures. I'll take tomorrow's outside. The third shows the size...

Welcome, Modelmaker! You've already blown us all away with your DY-100. I can't wait to see the rest of your models! Scott K.
