    JSC Indianapolis in 1:400

    Just a little time to work on the aircraft hangar bay today. Didn't quite understand the folds so I printed a copy of the part onto standard copy paper and did a trial build. Not used to the JSC methods yet but slowly getting a grip. Decided to pose starboard hangar bay door in the open...

    HMS Eskimo designing ships for dummys

    Greetings, On my 1/700 Dreadnought, I used invisible nylon thread held by Loctite super glue, then painted, and in this instance, it seemed to work for me. I always thought super glue was super glue and used the cheep stuff for ages. Tried Loctite (Home Depot), and it really made a difference.

    Today’s assignment, should I wish to accept (and I did), was to finish the aft hull section and mate the two halves together. My method of choice for all gluing to this point, as shown, is to put a dab of tacky-glue on a piece of waxed paper and apply with a toothpic. The waxed paper does...

    I missed the discovery channel special, but see that it will repeat this Sunday at noon........I'll be there. The magnetic jig is something I had left over from my plastic modeling days. I works even better with paper since there is less resistance to the magnetic power thru the paper, thus...
