    Reset on the Bismarck diorama - back to square 2

    Yay me - partially for now ... Coat of Tamiya Clear first then Vallejo Matte. Then more peeling and replacing, while cleaning all the parts and reattaching them ...fun ! Thanks for watching, Laurence

    Reset on the Bismarck diorama - back to square 2

    Something interesting in the photo below... There are two round holes above the waterline, dead center on the stern. Apparently those were to release smoke, to obscure the view of the ship or something. Bit of a strange feature. If you think about it, how easy would have been to have a pin at...

    Reset on the Bismarck diorama - back to square 2

    Thanks Paul. I'll do my best. I like the look of this new deck I bought, it is slightly weathered already. Painted the big red flags bow and stern, Baltic scheme in full, as originally intended. I'll have to give it a matt varnish coat or two, looks too "new", but that's coming soon (I hope).

    Reset on the Bismarck diorama - back to square 2

    Holy "whole bunch of cows". Thanks MP. Finished peeling off the whole wooden deck, removing every single little piece of plastic or PE on the main deck, trying to preserve them as much as possible. There is a place you can order replacement sprues for this kit, but the one I would have needed is...

    Reset on the Bismarck diorama - back to square 2

    Thanks mate, all good. This project started coming close to 8 years ago now. Too long. I hated the idea of using cotton since day 1 but I thought I'd give it a try. Never been happy with the result, the water was also messy, but all this is only my fault. Thanks for the kind words, hope you are...

    Reset on the Bismarck diorama - back to square 2

    I will persist with isopropyl alcohol to get rid of all adhesive residue- works nicely and doesn't smell too bad. I just used a chisel carefully, worked a charm.

    Reset on the Bismarck diorama - back to square 2

    Next steps include - fixing various elements attached to the hull, such as the propeller guards, life boats on the deck, chains, ropes. Then correcting some paint issues - after removing the hull from the base as it were, noticed some areas that required corrections. Had to remove the whole...

    Reset on the Bismarck diorama - back to square 2

    The Bismarck diorama went from bad to worse, with me making the mistake of continuing along a path that I never really liked. After way too many months of contemplation and procrastination, hoping the issue would just go away by simply swearing at it, I decided to reset things and back to square...

    F16A - 1/48 kit from Kinetic

    Thanks Saul - I wanted the Romanian markings but can't buy those separately and I couldn't be stuffed trying to print them myself.

    Thanks MP - It was and also some strange opinions on what planes are considered "post WW2".

    F16A - 1/48 kit from Kinetic

    Right, one final update - IPMS NSW chapter end of year competition - F16 got a silver ribbon. One of the most challenging builds with all the extras I wanted to present. Worth doing it. Thank you all for watching. Laurence

    F16A - 1/48 kit from Kinetic

    Been a while, but managed to get a few things done. Quietly. Upper fuselage with some Black dog resin inserted. Tail base section with electronics added and glued in place. Primed with Vallejo Grey. Details are pretty nice and crisp. Lower part of the said fuselage. Some panels removed and...

    Right - time for one of these things ...updates. In tune with updating the whole site, great effort there MP. Reading through that technical stuff made me feel 20 again ..... mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... DNS..........mmmmmmmmmmm. Very Homer Simpson-ish. Anyway, things got crazy here, as in broken kind...

    F16A - 1/48 kit from Kinetic

    Right, time for another update. Two big parts joined together. Front and rear fuselage sections are now one. Insane amount of filing and dry fitting - ended up slapping some Evergreen styrene on either half because the contact area between the two halves is going to hold a lot better with...
