she,s getting there....just bear in mind that the kit is a vacform/mixed-media,not exactly a simple snap-fit!

just plodding along. most of the real dirty work is done already. it went surprisingly fast.

Ah awesome, dirty work is often the worst...

i think the part i hate the most is just waiting for paint,cement and bodyfiller putty to dry/cure/stabilize.

just goes with the territory. i,m a modeller of The Old School.

the best one, in my opinion...

there are some others too,who do even better work. but some of those guys{self-proclaimed perfectionists} will spend a year or more just fiddle-farting around on one kit! i do not have time for that,and i do want to get things done in some sort of timely manner. i would rather make a good collection to a decent standard in a more reasonable amount of time.

that makes enough sense, although i've seen one of those "perfectionists" models fall apart very badly once...

i do try to make mine fairly durable.

ah okay, makes sense...

just my nature....i can,t stand flimsy stuff. got to build things strong and rugged,so they,ll survive.

true dat-- if you want something done properly... DO it properly...

i usually prefer to buy things that are Industrial/Commercial/Military grade. might cost a bit more,but they do last,and i know i can count on them to work when i need them. Stubborn Old Cat,very set in his ways.....

concaholic thought so too!

must have tooken you forever to such a large model like that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
not quite forever,but not exactly a quick-build!

reminds me of my building of a LARGE titanic model i had, until it got distroyed. every time i get a liner model it always gets broken some how to the point of no return.
BTW tomcat do you know if any model company sells a kit of the SS United States.
i always wanted to build the fastest liner in the world.

2 kits of the ship i know of,Revell and Glencoe{ex-ITC mold},both a bit difficult to obtain. Revell would probably be the better kit.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
