I own the friggin' company, and I gave my word. I can admit I sought approval of the Board after the Master was complete. I take care of my People.

Here's the beauty part! If you build your Calypso as a waterline model, the lower hull part will fit John Wayne's Wild Goose yacht or the YMS-1 Yard Minesweeper model too! All 3 ships were seesters!

Yes, Quite! I'm pouring the mold tonight!

Hear ye, Model miscreants and maniacs! I just want to update you all on the progress on Cousteau's "Felix" Helicopter for his famed research vessel. Mastering is done, and the Hughes 300 is in a mold cup. The main rotor will be a P/E part made by White Ensign Models. You will need a bit...

This is going to be really cool! "The peeking Tiger"? :good:

The Abarth is an absolute stunner! Have you got a bloody Kookaburra on your UK fence? Saints preserve us!

I LIKE IT!! Very Jug-ular indeed!

Once again, dear friends, into the breach!

Nice! Did you decide against the yellower ZNCR Republic liked to use, then?

It's easy in 1/350 scale!

Than Thanks Men! Tommy White and I worked together on a joint US/UK project years back. When adult beverages are served, we both behave rather badly, as it were. We vociferously disagreed about who chews who (whom) out afterwards. It is unwise for us to visit RN vessels together. We are...

It was a very productive Cutter Tuesday! I figger it's time to start working on decals. My kit mast will not fit the way the actual one does, and mine is one section too tall, but it will have to serve. The idea is to have fun building rather than pursuing perfection nobody truly ever...

That's just cool! :good:

Decals progress on USS Guitarro for Tom. I would comment that the MicrOMir decals that come with the kit are excellent. Thin and opaque, but still respond well to Solva-Set. When I find suitable 655's for the sail, decals will be finished! I hope CPO White is pleased. He was expecting a...

Initial flat white paint for the 1/350 USCG Island class cutter kit. This is the "Leave it alone until the paint cures." part that I'm really not good at! There are a few tiny flaws in the hull, but rather than striving for the perfect cutter, I chose to focus on the fun of building this kit...

Primer job on the 1/350 USCG Island class WPB, rescue boat and 25mm gun, and Cape Island lobster boat. You can see how nicely capillary action pulled the Future into the teeny gap between the hull and superstructure of the 110. She'll rest overnight before any more paint work is done, but the...

Metallizer sealer clear on and a start on decals for Tom's Boat. Yes, each letter and digit for USS Guitarro is a separate decal. These are Back Aft Models excellent 1/700 yard craft decals. Apply each one, Solv-A-Set and take a break. The Testors Metallizer sealer darkened the gray paint...

Remember JAG Collective Model kits? Probably the "Gold Standard" of resin waterline warship models and aircraft of all time. Alan Smith said once "If we charged a price that reflected all the time involved in producing our accurate, quality model kits, nobody would be able to afford them."...

Thanks Guys. As fond as I am of the Yukon gold rush "fire canoes", I am starting no new model ship projects at this time. I was cleaning, sorting and marking just a smattering of 10+ years of RTV molds in an effort to bring some overdue order to the "Nut Department" tonight when the...
