That was in my head. Paint everything in blacks and grays, for a night effect?

I likes me a SE-5a! If ya gotta do such a big one, I guess I can understand.

You have all those noses!

I'm trying to imagine what round hit the mantlet to just punch right through it? This is looking quite wrecked per your usual idiom!

1/700 Bluenose resin kit contents. But WAIT!! There more!! What about a contemporary bridge for the Lucretia option? Flying bridge, solar panels, big windscreens for the weather bridge? Sun deck? I have all these SPC-HWX 52 bridges that won't do. I recycled one of them.

I had a bubble in a PBM hull casting. Waste not, Want Not. A waterline version. Then, as if that wasn't enough, so I opened a bow hatch and a cargo hatch and made brass doors. It should make for very interesting waterline model making! Then too, A forest of 1/350 missiles, the...

She sure would! Had she not been grounded in 1946 and sunk off Haiti in the Caribbean sea. "The Queen of the North Atlantic" hauling bananas! Perish the thought! I would imagine Bluenose II may have attended in Her mother's stead. There's a great story about a DKM U-boat skipper that was...

Bluenose is gittin' her masts, eh! The new, accurate cabin cast up good and kits the ship well.

OR! Is the Meng kit missing essential Fokker wing details!?!? :lol:

Kuhl!!

No really! A guy wants a model of a subject nobody makes (yet) and finds some less than usual model supplies and just does it! I notice the SR-72 Thunderchild shares quite few lines in common with the Tomcat, but it WAS a TOPGUN picture, so you kinda expect that. Don't give up! You're on to...

I did a little painting and installed the manual windlass. SV Lucretia continues to sing the siren song of "Red! She would be stunning in red!" from Jimmy's book to my old mariner's ears. Instructions are started. I did the math on the bowsprit, masts and booms. "Balloon Jib" and "Jumbo...

Did you miss Old Ironsides firing her cannon? I'll bet the wussy Mayor about pooped himself when he heard that sound! I imagine fireworks are "Haram" too.

Thanks! A great deal of care goes into every model I make. In some cases, the pictures don't really bear the finer details out. 1/700 Bluenose and CSS Florida were the first Masters with wood deck. The RTV mold does a fine job of picking it up.

That's model making, right there! Do proceed!!
