Nothing like these laser frames. they doubled up the supply for the 2mm thickness frames, all the bulkheads and waterline deck. Just laminate and install, I cut notches where the tree was still connected to keep the parts square. 3 hrs work and the waterline up frames are installed. I still...

I just got my IJN 1/200 scale Yubari and decided to build her on this thread. I love this ship for 2 reasons, classic Japanese early lines and she was unique. Yubari was built primarily as a test hull for the upcoming gracefully mean CA's. She was meant to prove out the basic hull form that was...

Oh, and I been distracted by Titanic. I have been working Fly models 1/200 Titanic. A monster of a kit.

Thanks; Here are some additional photos, I forgot to take these when I finished her details. All I have left to do is add her flags and make a nice shelf for display. Also see the 2nd photo on the bottom left, Rodney in Malta circa 1943 with this camo and the plane on C-Turret. I am sure the...

more pics. sorry looks like I duplicated some.

I agree, I woul love to see Eib buidl this, my skills are marginal. Anyway it's been a while but here are my latest pic's. I spent some time completing the hull for Titanic. Pic tomorrow, really neat model. I finished the small details in paper. I have to add more styrene and some rigging...

The scout plane is installed on C turret. Took 5 hrs just to build the plabe. My camara is a piece of s**t otherwise I would have better closer pictures.

Try Model Expo, they sell many sizes of block and dead eyes. Prices are reasonable. http://www.modelexpo-online.com/search.asp?SKW=block%2Bdeadeyes&STARTPAGE=1

She's looking great. Displaying her infront of the "Line in the Sand" is a great visual image. The two really go together well.

This is a great forum, made by guys like Eibwarrior and yourself. I have been working the stern superstructure and have progressed onto her aft mast.

You're right Eib; The funnel structure is done, have to add the pipe but will wait to later when I do all the styrene work. Also the bow wave break and the two primary AA platforms are done.

Back to where I was, thanks to Eibwarrior. The bridge is rebuilt and the color match is pretty good. I was able to save the range finders, the radar mast deck and several of the bridge wing walks so the the reconstruction only took 8 or so hrs.

Eib, thanks so much. I got the pdf's and printed them. They look great and as good as the originals, aint technology great. She has just moved back out of dry dock and initial bridge construction will begin shortly. Not knowing how long I was going to have to wait I started my Fly Titanic...

Eib, It is not a rush, please take your time, I am just so glad to know I will have a chance to finish her. Again thanks so much.

Thanks

I built the USS Porter recently, shown on this site. An excellent model. I started with Mady Modelarz's destroyers and will never regret doing so, the card is stffer and thicker than the newer models. The ships actually look pretty good and they are easy enough to hone your skills. Cruisers are...

I have always used styrene and paper for barrels 6" or less. Five guns in 1/200 scale look very good and any distance with solid styrene rod and note book paper rolled over the inner barrel to depict the breech end. However i do prefer the turned barrels for the larger mains. They are more scale...

eib; thanks, The parts I now need are the bridge, numbers are all over the place but the bridge is destroyed. This model the bridge is 39 thru 42 plus the 3 gun directors 79 and 84. I would really appreciate it. If you can mail them to jkrenzer@tactair.com and joe_tressa@yahoo.com. The best...

I have good news - bad news. Good news, kithcen is done and the wife loves it. Not much to see pic wise. Bad news, really bad news. I dropped the Rodney on its head. Yah that's right, I did the unthinkable. Recently the wife got a new kitten and in a typical wise move I decided to put Rodney...

Sunday's work. I have installed the Oak edging on the counter tops. Last step will be to seal the grout and then caulk the counter to wall creases, corners, and the oak edges. Caulking prevents expansion cracks from occuring. I just built A turrets enclosure and also the AA tube on B-Turret...
