@Sharkmouth It occurred to me that I warned you about Koala decal paper, but I didn't let you in on my secret. eBay seller Digital Design Depot sells the good clear paper for scripts and color and white for flags and larger decals a guy can trim close enough to make them authentic...

I trotted the civvie Clipper out to my Sweetheart and said "See what I did last night?" Of course she couldn't. It too fargin' small! This is the Kit 226 decal proof, printed on the back of a 4X6 piece of photo paper. More sizing may still be done, but you can see what I'm about. Yes, Bob...

We all of us have something or other we are passionate about. Coming from a man with your level of attention to detail, I consider your comments high praise indeed! Thank you, Paddy!

Indy climbing up the limber holes on the U-Boat would be authentic. "I found Jones, Captain!" Then I hafta do all the guys on Bantu Wind as well. 2 or more vehicles, more than 5 figures, shows action or tells a story, makes the project a diorama. :ph:

That's just COOL! :notworthy

The final ladder is installed. just a wiggle and a dab of Future! For you Tramp Steamer fans, 2 of the cargo hatches fit comfortably midships. There may be a deck cargo set in the not too distant future.:hmm: Tamya smoke on the winders and dry fit of the coaling hatches. All the winches...

The orange stripe isn't quite perfect, but it will suffice. Decal marking for the American NC numbers on the wings at least and maybe the on BOAC Clipper. It was Winston's.

Labor day castings. It's kinda work, but every child knows Labor Day is really for their Mom.

I got the ol' Lady good and rusty! A flat coat will seal her, then real construction can commence. I cut the outside rails off the p/e ladders and test-fitted them. These will be suitably grody too. It looked REALLY silly to have the outside ladder rails sticking out above the ship's...

I thought you might! Truthfully, she's Hasegawa's.

Up early again. Airbrushing quietly.

I never did plan a tank farm, and yet, one has sprouted.

Hear, hear! More recent eduard kits seem very popular amongst european modelers. Proximity to the source may figure into it. I tire of hearing all about the "new" Mustang or Me-109 kits. How many is enough of any one subject?

A dandy job on an ancient tooling, so far! :good:

Many Armor guys do! Jeff Herne was making 3D printed tracks. The variations for the M4 are many.

That's pretty cool! Still on the Italeri rubber tracks, then?

The Yak-52 gunner is a Beast! A quick squirt of 5.56, and down they go. The drone footage of the Ruzzian motorcycle troopers is chilling. The one kid looks right at the drone, with doom written all over his face.

When I grow up, I want to be Kermit Weeks. Not everyone brews their own rum to go specifically with orange juice!

https://www.scalemates.com/kits/flyhawk-model-fh3606-brave-transport-squad-and-sbd-t-seaplane-transport--1791105 This looks like fun! I think it will go in next months model budget! Captain Richtofen, Lt. Doolittle and his crew of brave couriers are included as scale 3D prints, with a printed...

Just a few drops of 5 colors of paint, a little acrylic wash and several cups of good coffee! Thanks!
