I'm following. In an ideal world I too would be looking at the box top of a kit like this! Alas, Space (and, at the moment skill) is too limited. Tom

Looks good. A bit too much beam maybe Web says 16m length, 5m beam (45.7 x 14.3 mm in '350) http://freeshipplans.com/free-model-ship-plans/tugboat-plans/saturn-steam-tug/ Tom

First Sherman in 1:35 - RFM Firefly ***Finished***

Your going to need a bigger box! I adapted an old plastic tool box to hold about 35 Vallejo paint bottles. I now have three such boxes! Tom- 69 replies

I think Jamie means the anti fouling paint was grey. As to the crew... Don't know. But if I was the Captain I'd want to enter port with everyone in the same rig for ceremonies etc. Tom

Liberty to Sunderland Steamer (1/350)
Modelholic replied to TomTango's topic in Work in Progress - Maritime
Try using a suitable thickness of styrene (strip or scrap) to push between the steps as you fold to keep 'em all at the same angle. I wish there were more pre/ww2 merchies available in '350 I could have a convoy then! Tom- 28 replies

The seats make sense. I've left mine are folded - upside down maybe! Tom
-
I partially based my assumption on a pic from this site: http://www.scalewarmachines.com/allcontent/valentine-archer-spg which has a few interior shots. Pics #6, 8 and 15 shows the area of the seats. There are two (what I took for) mounting points atop the side sponson that look to be the pivot point for the seat if it's fitted upside down in re. to the instructions. Tom

Hamden, I think I've seen an issue with the interior fold up seats. AS per the instructions they're upside down. E30 is (I believe) the 'bum meeting' part of the seat and E31 the backrest. Turn the instructions upside down and see what you think. Tom

HMS Minotaur (1947 design Z) Modernized

Are you up late or early? Tom -
Sorry, can't help about the buoys. But I'm looking at the angle of the ladder down to the dingy. How would you brace such a thing? Surely the dingy tied alongside/ladder vertical would be much easier! Tom

I think the domes on the masts were some communication/navigation equipment. Scott Domes(?) comes to mind. Tom -
All I need now is an Airfix E Boat! Tom

In the past I've often considered kit bashing the 1/72 Airfix E-Boote into a 110T class R (the dimensions of both in 1/72 are quite close! 6mm in length and 3mm in beam). So this thread is very interesting and I'm absolutely gob-smacked about what you can do with brass. Tom

Some of them Russian subs have weird sticky out bits! Tom -
HMS Minotaur (1947 design Z) Modernized
Modelholic replied to ArnoldAmbrose's topic in Work in Progress - Maritime
I think I'd have landed the superfiring 3" and fitted the Seawolf there (3" are a bit superfluous when you have Seawolf). Then put another 20mm Phalanx on the deckhouse fwd of the Exocet/Harpoon. Whifs. Can you not love 'em! Tom -
Could be Lewis (or Vickers GO) guns in the second pic down (bow on view) as well. Tom
