wowzers what an impressive box! this is a big model.

Boat goes out with 4 torpedoes loaded and ready. Even if there was room to store torpedoes, which there isn't, how would they get them up onto the deck and loaded into the tubes? Most Destroyers didn't even carry extras or reload their tubes during combat. And this hatch/hole/plate/whatever...

That thing might look like a "plate" over the keel, but it is not a "keel plate". I don't know what "keel plate" references in your instance. I did find a reference to the "keel plate" in the confidential construction specifications (US Navy). The model thing looks more like a trapdoor or...

Does the kit indicate why there is this big hole at the front of the hull? I've never came across this when researching these Elco boats, and I wonder why it's there?

I had wedgies like that back in the 70s! I don't think that is proper snow gear.

I see a lot of grease, which is commonly used on artillery pieces to keep them protected and working. Lots of sliding bits spreading that grease around and flinging it everywhere. Thats not weathering, that well maintained and functional! Oh, and some camouflage paint...

These are some amazing bits of model work. And between the political rantings, I am enjoying studying each photo that is posted. I am a diorama lover! No. Snow is awful. I hate it. I hate having to shovel it. It's disruptive and cold and really wet. There, I said it! I just wanted to make a...

Cobblers? why do they lie alot? Are they the ones responsible for the 96.7 +/-3.1% of internet bullpoop? 100% of Cobblers. They have no soles. LMAO I did not write "bullpoop".

"Smell the paint. If your nose sticks to the surface, it's not dry yet." As Edbert said, not enuf reducer. Thin that paint down some more. Turn up the air pressure and spray lighter coats with plenty of overspray. Give each spray a moment to set up. If you lay it down too heavy, too quickly, it...

You proved it with an incorrect stat!. LOL It's more like 96.7%.

"The Final Countdown 2" ?

That kit does not appear to include Invasion stripe decals.? I'm not sure why the stripes have been mentioned, but it wouldn't be wrong for this aircraft. How well invasion striping was applied, depended a lot on the amount of time to get it done. If possible, tape was used to mask off some...

So apparently if you say "pipe bomb" + "al queda" + "sexual intercourse" all in one post, the FBI, ICE, and Mark Zuckerberg, will all show up your house. I'll let you know.

On my paper model website I offer various Flag sheet sets. Printable flags that can look quite realistic when done. Many ship builders have used them. My US Naval Flags sheet covers all Navy vessels throughout WW2 up to 1959. There is a second sheet that has all the radio signals and various...

LOL I saw a "sensitive content" warning a few minutes ago blocking a video on facebook. I was required to click my acknowledgement to see the video. It was a short video trailer for the game War Thunder. (Computer game with Planes and Tanks shooting at each other) LMAO

wait!....paint a tiny little iceberg in each porthole window. oh, that only works for one side of the boat, doesn't it? well then, paint james cameron's face on the other side.

glass reflects, it has no colour. if the boat is on the ocean, the glass would reflect sky or water depending on your angle of view. I might paint the 'glass' a sea green with a horizon line of white (fading upwards). the glass area itself would be fairly small. the porthole frames eat into the...
