I do not know how clean she will finish up the cabin is just laid in place.I plan to clear the whole boat and add some weathering before the cabin is permanently fixed in play.

Mike me like that's one colorful crate.

I am eating the elephant one bite at a time with this one between work and some JA stole some checks out of the mailbox me been busy.I have the forward and middle gun done and about 90% done on the quad needs a base sit up off the deck maybe 3/8" for scale.I just don't why Revell did not supply mines but I bought some stuff at HobbyLobby some 3/8" wooden balls and have to build the boxes underneath.I am liking the looks of her though.

Yeah I P/U some in FL over ThanksGiving in decent shape not this good for $160 for all four if I remember right.Back in the day a good wood worker probably had quite a collection of planes,saws and chisels for delicate stuff.

I won these in auction today .......cheap https://www.proxibid.com/Art-Antiques-Collectibles/Collectibles/3-ANTIQUE-19TH-CENTURY-WOOD-PLANE-LOT/lotInformation/74141771&rfpb=0#Top

Sorry to hear this Ernie time has a way making things disappear/change.

The mine,statue and turtle were just amazing!

Very Nice Bill!

Tim I am glad you decided to finish and get it off the SOD it looks Splendid!

.............

I thought the same Mike if so limited would be the guess.

I was wondering the other day myself remembering that DR1 I think was the last we saw of him.

You should check out her channel Gus she likes pushing the boundaries.

Rob looking wonderful but I had to about the glue brought back a memory!I had just finished a 1/72 P-61 and thought I added enough up front to make it sit right but oh Noooooooo.So, I added some more BB's and some SG on top and and put on the desk to dry I had to scalpel that beotch off.

Carl after I got through my first four cradles a little change for the next four and they were a snap,yours are starting right off looking great!

I think John you pulled it off. pg18

Liking it Dave with the wings on.

Yes Rob I could see some words coming from that part of the build but looks ATTM you may of prevailed.

Now that green camo perked my interest never seen that before Martin.

Both are looking Nice Chris.

Stunning Peter just Stunning! These old kits can still play with the right attention.

I was going to do some cussing for you about the cowl but have decided to just say Nice fix and looking good Sir.(expensive kits that make one cuss)

Thanks Chris I P/U some antique planers (4) when i was in Fl over Thanksgiving two of them I will have to make blades for.I have a bandsaw but the height is only six inches an old Craftsman I p/u 15 years ago maybe an old then but for $125 yep.I think about a lathe from time to time but most of my work is square/angles for the most part. The front deck is glued in play now I have to PE out the hatch and touch-up some painting to the deck.The main deck is set at the moment not glued checking fit.The two kit supplied guns are built not much PE to the front deck gun and the Quad is about 80% right now first layer of paint going to use some PE on it from Eduard.I can see this flying from here on out with all the boxes,guns and other pieces there will be a quick spurt.

The base is complete now I know why I prefer oils over varnish getting a silky smooth finish is a PIA.I finally used a waterbase over the varnish it levels off better.I know I should of thinned my varnish but after 4/5 coats and figuring that out .......The boat is on but temp the deck is very very close to sliding in and I have been building lotsa sub-assemblies with the PE things will be moving till I get to the railing. The base for me needed to be completed for some reason once the deck is in I like a solid stand to work from even the 1/350 builds.
