Alas, poor Steve, I feel I have hijack'd his thread. Gil, I think you might have recommended that bit of ingenuity back at the time - I recall viewing the chap's website, it is a neat bit of electronics. Sadly, the price tag was a little hefty; I'd have had to ask the boss for an advance on...

The shadow box and gears crossed my mind! In the end, I just crammed a penlight up there, it's a neat enough effect. Was anxious to move on to the next model. Maybe someday...

Now I wish I had an amusing story to back that up; I don't - it was just one of those six-pack innovations that would never work in real life. Was trying to think of a way to motorize the rotating light on a relatively small-scale lighthouse model I was preparing to build. Saw someone's...

Hmm... Wondering about an alternative to laminating the entire deck. If I cut notches in the top edges of the formers wide enough to accommodate two thick card strips running the length of the deck, it would provide additional support on a perpendicular to the formers and perhaps alleviate...

She's really coming together Barry, nice looking ship! Josh

Thanks for the pictures, Steve. I have a JSC kit in queue, the liner United States... I got no English instructions at all with her! So it will be an adventure to say the least. I am also concerned about strength of the ship's hull / deck; it's almost designed to be built like a box kite...

...err, ahem! ahem!! So, about that model you have there - it is quite unique. How did you manage the complex curvature? For instance, how many pieces actually are joined to form the equator of the hull? Josh :wink:

No.... at least not.... yet.... I got a computer related job with Harley-Davidson almost four years ago, and in those four years I have gone from zero interest to being completely sucked into the dream. I was one of the lucky ones who made it to Milwaukee last summer for the hundredth...

What do you ride? (...How easily we drift off topic!) Josh

must... fight... dark... urges... oh pun it the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak it's a MAST erpiece :cry: Your work belongs in a museum, Scorpio, it is magnificent. Almost ready for a bon voyage! Josh

Thanks for keeping us updated Scorpio! When I don't have time to make progress it's nice to watch someone else's OK, here we go: Q. How do you handle seamen with bad tempers? ... A. Send them to anchor management class :roll: That one will probably lose something in...

Hooray! You are the pic of the week! I want to build this too but with my cutrate camera I will never be pic of the week Pity party for me, on 3 1... 2.... 3 aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :cry: Love your model!!

I am very detail oriented and I love following precise directions to produce a work of art - Calculated creation. I don't think I have what it takes to be as creative as Gil, for instance - but I would love to try to follow the intricate instructions to make that Bismarck! Josh

It is also possible to insert a pic that exists in your album! When you view the picture in the album, notice that the URL of the pictures comes up as: http://s93816356.onlinehome.us/phpbb2/album_page.php?pic_id=288 ..but you have to change it from "album_page" to "album_pic" to get it to...

Nice work! I've never seen a funnel like that, must have been a toughie. I am jealous of all the cats! I am allergic but I love them so... why do we have to love the things that hurt us? Josh

When I saw your picture, my jaw dropped, my eyeballs popped out of my head, and my brain turned to mush. The detail and precision at that size is ASTOUNDING!! I am gibbering! In your mother tongue I believe I would say your photos have made me Unsinnig You are a paper model role...

Can't wait to see the Philippe treatment of this kit! Thanks for the pictures! Josh

Thanks for the links, Alfred. I enjoyed the pictures. What a beauty!

Thanks Scorpio! I won't be building it anytime soon, I've got a lot to learn before I tackle a kit like that. I would love to have it just to gaze lovingly at the uncut pages though... Really I wished I could understand Polish so that I could understand the post on the website that was...

After the first couple pages my jaw unhinged. What an extraordinary model. The level of detail is not to be believed. Were those photo etched parts sheets I saw on the first page? Where would you get models in this line currently? Rich, are you thinking of building this work of art...
