Did you get any new kit or other modelling related goodies today or recently? We all like so show our new stuff, so please share it with us. I know this is an odd scale, and the surface is a little questionable (!) but hey, who cares! Darren

DocRob · Friday at 05:24 PM1 day

This build has been started some years ago. The reason, I post it again are twofold, one reason being to add another aspect of modelling to LSM Mark II and on the other hand to motivate myself to finish the build, which stalled with rigging. The name giving Duchess was a very interesting person, to say the least. In her later years, she owned the ship of the same name as a yacht, cruising the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and the Baltikum in it. Elizabeth Pierrepont, Duchess of Kingston-upon-Hu

FW190- ZM A-4 and a Revell A-8

FG2Si · May 25May 25

These were started a little while back. They then got lost on my bench while I worked on whatever had my fleeting attention. So, having finished the F-16 my bench is ready to get these done. The ZM kit is much further along with the cockpit done, fuselage closed up and the majority of the wings completed as well as the engine. The Revell one has the wings started, the fuselage halves together, and the engine mostly complete.

This was a thread on the old site before the crash. So, I bought this shirt at the EAA museum in 2024, right before NATS in Madison, WI. And I've been wearing it to shows but I don't have a P-40 on the shelf. So when Sprue had a sale a while back, I bought the Great Wall Hobbies kit. Since the shirt has && on it, I've been planning on building 77. Some of the AM that I've bought for it. And some of the progress on it. Cockpit area mostly. Ready to close up the fuselage. Added

Brabham BT52b - The Guided Missile - Model Factory Hiro - 1/12

DocRob · May 13May 13

After finishing my Unicorn Gundam, I chose to continue with another Japanese super kit. The started log was lost in the gone forum and I will continue here. The BT52b was a successful design, winning the world championship drivers title with Nelson Piquet in 1983. It was the turbo era and the BT52b was the most powerful of all formula One cars until today and could generate up to 1500 horsepower in qualification mode. That came with a price, making the car difficult to drive with it´s turbo lag.

After second planking was finished, I started adding paint and decoration. The wood was sealed with Wipe on Poly and if I remember right, I used mainly Tamiya X-colors for painting, which were good to brush on and had good coverage. I also tried LP colors, which were not up to the task, they are better suited with plastic and metal.

More decorations and I have to confess, the black planks gave me some creeps. Misalignment would have been easy spotted and the risk of ruining my wood finish with CA residues was also an issue. The underwater part was sprayed white after priming.

The stern decoration was one of the troubled areas of the build, all due to my faults. I soaked the basic wood layer to get it easier into it´s rounded shape, which lead to an expansion of the wood by more than half a centimeter. Finally, after drying the wood thoroughly and using the bended resin decor piece as a guide, I managed to sandwich all and to glue it in place with a liter of CA and really strong rubber bands to hold in place.

Here the wonderful fitting PE decorations were added, which I airbrushed with Vallejo liquid gold, which our Jim recommended in the manual for the job. It was perfect, because it airbrushes to a high shine gold finish and is also perfect for brush painting, which was used for the stern decoration.

Next was the outfitting of the deck, with adding the rudder, gratings, rackets for the belaying pins, the ships bell and finally cannons. Yes, it is a yacht, but it has six four pounders on board. Additional to the manual, I added a simplified rigging for the cannons, because I like a busy deck.

That left me with a ton of other things to do, but it started to look like a beautiful ship slowly.

Cheers Rob

Absolutely fantastic build, Kevin. There is so much detail and it oozes dedication. I feel the itch to do a larger scale ship soon, maybe the 1/144 Flower Class Corvette with full Pontos galore and Ion figures.
I didn´t found fitting PE railings too hard, when I built my USS Arizona. When curved shapes were needed, I carefully annealed the PE, which made it easier to bend and less springy.

A drop of RLM 66 onto the attachment points and every thing will be solved by invisibility in the dark tub, Carl
I´m still curious how your 190 shootout will end, having two of the Revell incarnations in my stash along tons of resin and PE.

Well. You actually don’t really have to. The buckles in some cases had ‘lips’ on the in- and outside.
Funny that Eduard sometimes tells you they go on the outside:

This is from a restoration in Hungary:

So i guess you’re good either way!

Well the rear SS is about to get glued to the deck.I had to make a couple parts for the rear mast I had noticed some time ago but forgotten.The top of the mast added in 43 is the FuMB Antenna3 Ball passive detector and below it is the White top light now to paint.
I made that light atleast 6X times it was pissing me off so small

The boats are finally glued in place.I used the Waldron Punch to make the life rings on top.

The rigging for the mast lots of rope lines I give myself a "D" here it was hard getting a semblance at the top of width.

I used Plasmo's technique of a white glue mine be Tacky Glue slightly thinned down bigger holes needed a thicker glue.
