BlrwestSiR Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I picked up another BSG kit. These are getting harder and harder to find, especially at reasonable prices. Just need to find a Galactica herself now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 That's great price for the two of them. Just don't try a double build with them like I did. Or let your son test fly it once it's done. Carl 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty44 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 When I built my HK Lanc I didn't install a seat as it was crap. So I left the cockpit glass unglued knowing a good seat would be an eventuality. Enter Resin 2 Detail. They have three seats they released, basic to super deluxe. This is the deluxe. Very nice! 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep 'em comin Peter Peter, I agree. The LHS didn't have it listed on their website and it wasn't with the rest of the kits in the series that they had. If you can find it online, it's easily double what I paid for it. As for the size of my stash, it's not too bad. It has gone up a bit but the boys "help" when they raid my dwindling 1/72 kits for new projects. Carl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 After a long journey, the Mitre cutter appeared at my door today. The first package from AK was lost somewhere, but they immediately sent me a new packet. Very good service, I have to say. The cutter should be the same as the DSPIAE one but branded by AK.

Peterpools Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Rob Nice miter cutter. Yours look a bit more substantial then mine (Micro Mark but it does do the job). Enjoy your new cutter Keep 'em comin Peter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your new cutter Thanks Peter, I hope I'm able to cut wooden planks for my sailing boat project with the cutter, without squeezing the wood. The wood is not thick, but it needs precision cuts.

The Le Renard is an slowly ongoing project, where the next step is the second planking. My next winter project could be the Duchess of Kingston. I bought the kit some month ago. It will be a tempting project with lots to learn, but Vanguard kits are a bit like Tamiya in wood. They make it easy for the builder and that is well appreciated for me being a novice wood ship builder. I plan to do a WIP about my Duchess of Kingston adventures. Royal Yacht, Duchess of Kingston – 1778 – VANGUARD MODELS The cutter made a good job, cutting the planks. There are two different types supplied with the Duchess of Kingston, the lighter is cut perfect, the darker has a very slight squeeze. One second on the grinding machine will make it perfect.

Peterpools Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Rob Holy smokes a wooden ship model build and looking mighty good. Keep us posted on your progress and can't wait to follow your Duchess of Kingston build next winter Keep 'em comin Peter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard good things about the Lady Nelson. You should give it a try Phil. Those Kutters, like my Le Renard and the Lady Nelson are great first builds. Relatively large scale, due to small original ships, only one mast, which reduces rigging and hopefully in the case of the Lady Nelson double planking, which I find important. It's much easier to achieve a good looking hull with thinner decorative planking on top oh the more sturdy ones. Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
