Devin inquired about mold-making my results. My response: . "I will gleefully confess that you were right! The waste RTV in the measuring cup seemed to cure at varying rates and caused some anxiety. This was a long 24 hours+15 minutes! As you can see, no bubbles evidenced themselves when...

It's starting to show some character as it comes together! :good:

Therein lies the "treasure" of a model ship for a Vet. The stories! Navy guys will remember things they've never told anyone about before, while gazing at a miniature of their ship. Bravo, Sir!!

Often I find that eBay sellers actually know little about models or the contents of the kit boxes. Or they don't trouble themselves to look into it all that much. The quick listing and quick buck are commonplace, in my view. Caveat Emptor.

Devin Stein replies: "Happy to share my expertise As long as you are premixing that A & B thoroughly, several minutes, the material should perform as expected. Its been sitting for a bit so premixing is very important. Shelf life on silicones is 18 months so with a manufacture date of May...

Thanks Paddy! There's a cool picture of MV Shoreham grounded in shallow water with her cargo being offloaded to lighten the ship. She was towed and repaired and back in service without much ado.

A very fine bit of model making, Cap!

"Hey Devin, I've prepared a slew of small molds to pour Mold Max 10 into. I have a trial kit that is unopened. Per your expert advice, I plan to mix Part A in the container, mix the catalyst in its little jug and then mix all of Part A and B in Part A's plastic jar, and pour all the RTV I need...

I posted a video about the Pilot Schooner Wander Bird rounding Cape Horn a while back. At one point, the main character told a story about dropping several of his mom's brass Dory shaped ashtrays over the side, thinking they would certainly float. I watched the YouTube vid twice and enjoyed it...

The TURTLE-NATOR was unawarded. I did sell a kit to one of the Gleu Brothers members! Modefest in Liberty Missouri next weekend, unless we go to visit the newest great granddaughter baby! Stay tuned, friends and neighbors!

I liked the paint job very much! For me, admiring car models begins with finshes. '29 Ford Crew-Cab? '70 Cobra. Funny Cars and dragsters..... A chopped and channeled American LaFrance Fire Truck car hauler, anyone? The '29 Ford Pick-up is an old favorite...

Will you post a buncha Pictures?

He is too slim and has too much hair on his head. :lol:

The Glue Brothers put on another of their NNL car modeler's events today. I decided to enter this one! https://ipmsusa.org/event/mid-iowa-modelers-expo-7-nnl Sallying forth at a leisurely 0914 hrs, we departed for the customary pre-contest breakfast. I chose the old white-people's place...

Anything that seem to good to be true, usually is not. Ali Express as a whole, seems rather nefarious to me.

Given the generous size of the 9th and final mold box, I decided to add eine kleine Notsi-boat. Hasegawa's 1/700 Type VIIc from their old school dual kit. If a Guy is going to build one dinky U-Boat, he'd just as well build them both, right? The rail-drilling idea didn't work so well on...

Yessir! The FDM texture is the bane of waterline model makers.

In a moment, all will be clear. Patience, 'Pup. Patience. We arrived on a beautiful fair-weather day at the Camp Dodge Iowa National Guard base quite early. I was chuffed to see my fieind Bob and didn't want to take a chance on missing him. So we had some time to knock around the museum a...

I hope for a 1/700 waterline scale Waterline version of your excellent design or 11.04 scale inches LOA. What are the chances of that, do you imagine?

I think the Foc'sle (Forcastle. The front part of the ship) is busy enough in this scale. An anchor winch should install just at the ends of the chains. It occurs to me that a DKM Type VIIc U-Boat (U-21) like in the movie scene should be included in this kit. The hull mold box is generous...
