Deadman Disciple

Thankyou so much for the link to Tom's Modelworks. Those photoetch sets look treemendous. Ive sent him a message via the "Contact Us" page & fingers crossed.

Hi guys, Sorry to bump this. As Shapeways has gone, i tried China 3D prints, but nothing at-the-time, as they mainly specialise in 1/700 or 1/200. I did message Tyler (US/Canada agent) but its been a year since he got back to me. I still have had no luck finding the Britannic 1/400 aftermarket conversion parts. Any thoughts? Cheers, Wayne.

Ive messaged the seller, hopefully they'll respond. Im hoping the cost wont be too bad, a seeing as they are USA based.

Hi Mike, A quick question, If they are unwilling to resize, would there be much size difference between 1/350 scale to my 1/400 model?

Hi guys, I want to convert my old 1/400 scale Revell 100th Anniversary RMS Titanic into HMHS Britannic in her hospital ship livery. Ive seen 3D printed parts for the larger davits & the stern raised deck platforms in various scales:- https://www.shapeways.com/product/5SLR2FQQQ/hmhs-britannic-life-boat-davits-and-crosses-1-700t?optionId=301515960&li=more-from-shop https://www.shapeways.com/product/WUMGEN3SX/britannic-aft-decks-and-forward-cargo-doors-1-700?optionId=299283321&li=more-from-shop 1/700 (most common) 1/570 1/350 1/200 Unfortunately I cannot find these anywhere in 1/400 scale, do any of you know of anywhere else I could try to buy these (as ive drawn a blank) or maybe a link for the .STL files (as I know someone who might be able to print these) Also, maybe some 1/400 scale decals for the "Britannic" lettering, although I can do those myself, if i can find the proper font. Cheers in advance, Wayne

I did use a toothbrush to scrub in the Dettol indeed. Ive bought some "Elbow Grease" brand oven cleaner spray, as ive seen people use "Easy Off" brand oven spray in the USA on Youtube. It foamed up really well in my tub, so fingers crossed that works.

Hi guys, I bought a Belkits Skoda Fabia off ebay already built for £13 & it needed some attention (like in Wheeler Dealers, lol) I decided to strip the bodyshell with Dettol diluted & everything came off with no problem. But then i was left with a lot of gunk & then saw on Youtube that I should have soaked in NEAT Dettol from the start to eliminate the gunk. So i re-soaked the bodyshell in neat Dettol & while it has taken most of the gunk away, im left with little bits that feel literally welded on & i cant remove them. Ive tried label remover spray i got from work, re-soaking in soapy water, WD-40 and nothing wont shift those last few bits of gunk. Is there anything else I can try? Cheers in advance, Wayne.

Ive used white decal paper in the past, with mixed results. But for the white driver/co driver lettering would disappear & blend in with the clear rear side window part & you wouldnt be able to make them out. TBH, I wouldnt really want to cut around each letter with some small scissors & at 1/24 scale the biggest the lettering would be is about 3mm (captial letters) & 1.5mm (lower case) Ive had a look at Patto's place, some interesting options for other builds ive got, TYVM for that link.

Cheers for that. Ive dropped him a message over Facebook, he's going to see what he can do & the price's he's quoted me are really very reasonable.

Looking at the Halfords Camo range, they also carry 2 browns. One just called Brown & the other Khaki Brown, im think the first brown might suit, id have to pop down to my local store & have a look at the color label. Ive also read that RAL7013 is really close to the Brown Bess, but Ive found that camo spray paint that you can use for airsoft guns could suffice & they list them in RAL colors, but some of them say on the can/instructions on website you dont need primer & you can just spray it directly on, but a sanding is required, im a bit dubious about doing that, as id rather spray a coat of primer on first. Along with the fact that the shiny plastic that the nerf gun is made out of, will need to be sanded down a bit first, as the shiny part dont like to take a coat of paint.

Nice find there. There some interesting stuff on that site up for auction. Liking the Visitor's uniform & weapons to go with it, along with the Battlestar Galactica TOS Colonial Warrior uniform & helmet, even the William Shatner screen worn away team overcoat from The Wrath of Khan. Shame I aint got a few grand, id love to own them for cosplay.

Hi guys, Im wondering if you can get white lettering decals for 1/24 model cars for the driver names. Thinking about getting a Belkits 1/24 Hyundai I20 WRC model kit, but they dont have the lettering for Craig Breen for the rear window, an example in the below image. There are some made by MF-Zone, but are very rare, I have seen some white lettering decals made by Microscale, but they list them in train scale, im wondering what the train scale would be suitable for 1/24 cars? Cheers in advance. Wayne.

I know it takes time between drying time apllications. But the end result is totally worth the wait. Nice job on both.

Yer welcome OM. Hope this helps with yer progress.

Not bad at all there fella. On Youtube there is a channel called MarklinofSweden & his scenery how-to's are really imaginitive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TwpB7sVMn8 I used the above link to make my 1/72 RNLI Lifeboat sea diorama, using his method of toilet paper & pva glue & came out really well after painting. My Lifeboat Diorama Cheers, Wayne.
