SD14- the story Hey John John, I am sure you have received this from Christopher but some of the guys might not... CUTTING REMARKS - The Quarterly Newsletter for Card Modellers. D

Yup, getting the resolution just right is the hardest part I have used 612 x 792 to yield a 112 - 156 Kb file. But I fear trial and error is my approved method! D

Cool! D

I would have to state a liking for the pre-refit Fuso... Which has an very European - even British look. While the later tower is an impressive structure I think the original was one sleek looking dreadnought! The refit was so graet I doubt the available kit would be more than a...

Awwwww.... Jim, These are great big barn door railings compared to the stuff you have done! Still my first try and I am content if not delighted with them. I hope to "finish" this weekend and give V108 the full photographic treatment. Till then.... D

The unsurpassed Cleo thread http://www.cardmodels.net/forum/showthread.php?t=249 inspired me to try this on V108. A little patiece and trial and error and it worked fine. I used a cylindrical lead-in to get the taperd tube tight and ran in thinned white glue to lock it up. I also...

Railings and rigging... Hi Guys and Girls, A lot of hours and several different materials later I have made some ralings and rigged V108 with fine linen thread. All traditional! More later. D

I hadn't thought to turn the hair dryer on the nylon thread! I have something to do tomorrow when the girls are out... D

So why are you unhappy with her? They sure look like good results. What did you use for rigging - don't say fly tying silk, I have not sourced any in the UK yet. D

Woo that's so cool... I have some images of the Rose to scan and post... BTW what kind of crazy lens are you using? D I have copies printed out, one on 180gsm paper the other on 90gsm.

Perhaps an experienced ship modeller could advise what should be used as a DATUM or RFERNCE marker to set the line of planking? Does one go with the keel of the deck? D

Foam was fitted pretty much as you say if a bit more brutal in the execution. I hacked the corners off where reinforcing triangles interfered! I tried to use as little blue foam as possible and you might be able to see in the photograph that it does not go right the way to the keel save bows...

Hi guys, You are making me blush. I think I get on with ships better than aircraft, though I can do Fiddlers Green The mono filament is sold for invisible mending not the fishing but I guess it is the same thing- remember "cat-gut"? - this stuff is as fine as my 4 year old daughter's...

I suspect we shall see some rather fantastic efforts at riggings and ships railings on this forum soon, so I present my humble efforts. I used Nylon mono filament painted black. I do not really like it and may try again with a different material. I guess I have to just keep on going...

My ability to type in English appears to be failing too! Going to have a go in Photoshop... D

I second that! Still not printed it; excuse trial sheets seem too small...am I missing a to fit tick bok or something? D

What sort diameter? Try paper tubes? D

My goodness, does the postman only come once per year when the snow melts? Now I have quit smoking and cut down on the booze I have limited the card models to 1 a month. My wife has no idea how much or little they cost... but I think she is jealous of the time they take! Do you have a 2 or 3...

As he man says leave them shouting for more... I can not take all the glory, a piece of software called Comic Life came on my new Macbook (the old iBook died about the time my other build thread stalled). So thanks to the boys and girls at PLASQ (Windows beta available http://plasq.com/...

I am all for it. I have stalled... at the wings. Jonny, you don't neeed luck, just DO IT! D
