So, now there are Revolutionary war flags for 1/700 Royal Navy and Continental Navy ships to go with WBS-8.

1/35? Odd airplane scale. Pre-painted is a pig in a poke, as you still have to clean up, even a few seams, even if it is a snap-tite. Wanna bet there a College Boy at Border that got teased because he couldn't run an airbrush! :yipee:

The votes have been tabulated and YOU have chosen the clear winning photo for TLAR Models newest release! For the record, the guys on X @JustForFunScaleModels concur as well! https://tlarmodels.com/ols/products/1700-bluenose-1921-schooner-model-kit-tlar-models-821 Your feedback and...

HMS Speedy posed for her portrait this morning, even without anchors or Ensign. I cooked up a listing for modelers that are interested in making a more model-like subject from a "Hull Only" gaming piece. https://tlarmodels.com/ols/products/1700-mast-platform-kit-tlar-models-wbs-8 I haven't...

OOPS. I was busy building TLAR kits. :smack: The 1/700 Bluenose kit was released this morning, and the first order for her was filled.

I really like what you have going on here! Keep Cool and Model On!

I gave our club president a similar list of wanted kits that are impossible to find! He's a little guy in a cowboy hat that doesn't know to remove it indoors. Nate is his name. Say hey if you see him!

Well, Bluenose is finished. It's time for the "Box Artwork Follies'! Cast your vote for the Grand Banks Schooner picture you like the best! She will just barely fit into one of my Sweetie's 3" cubes, but she'll have a less than flat calm ocean base. A fine story, and well told too! It...

I don't much care to monkey around with different paint brands and techniques. The results can be mysteriuos.

Um, Sir? Bob! HEY YOU! One musn't rush the Chemicals!!

You have the only one! :good:

Summer school bus chores keep me home this time. Keep your eyes peeled for a 1/700 scale Fine Molds resin USS Okinawa LPH-3/ USS Guadalcanal LPH-2, will ya? JAG Collective 1/700 USCG kits (They come in a black tube) too, please? What do you call a paternity testing facility in Ft. Wayne...

https://www.facebook.com/aviationmt/posts/the-famous-full-scale-world-war-ii-submarine-replica-built-for-the-oscar-winning/1072816185070033/ That's odd. This missive tells us the Type VIIc replica U-Boat is on display at Valletta Harbor, Malta as of 13 July 2026

This is the amount of sail my waterline Bluenose will carry. Not quite the scale 10,000 square feet of the real 1921 Schooner, but pretty close. The wheel is installed too! T'were Boat Day today as well. Bluenose, Bonnie Dick and HMS Speedy all got their small craft. There is still some...

If the shell CSS Alabama's pivot rifle put in USS Kearsarge' stern had detonated, it would have blown her rudder clean off. The outcome would have been very different. Fortunes of War and all that sort of rot.

Fortune smiled upon me again! The printed deck plan of MS Steyning's close sister, MS Shoreham is accidentally near perfect in scale for this project!

More succinctly, how did the DKM crew get the huge Ark of the Covenant down the little hatches on the type 7c U-boat? There's a great story about how the cast and crew of "Das Boot" awoke one morning to find their vessel missing. Steven had rented it for a week to film the Bantu Wind...

Masts, ratlines, booms, gaffs and sails are installed. Jibs will be along presently. This will be my very first "Balloon Jib". Fitting, as the Indianola National Balloon Classic is going on this week, or will be if the the weather cooperates with the Balloonicals. I still unmercifully tease...

Geez Rhino, another ship? I know, I know. The British MV Steyning, built in 1955 was a coastal Collier. I imagine a coastal Collier is s vessel that carries coal in coastal and in littoral areas and rivers as well. By 1955, coal-burning ships of the Royal Navy were no longer en' vogue, so...
