Stegosaurus finished.. Finished model..

Stegosaurus Designed by Michal Dudas. One out of a series of four from my ABC magazine subscription.. As with all Michal Dudas's designs, the graphics are outstanding. A fun build, and a nice change of pace from other projects. Here's the base glued to backing. Parts.. Base...

Here I thought of a way of getting my windows to have the "leaded glass" look that was on the printed part.. Used mesh from a sack that was holding some sort of veggie.. Cut to shape.. glued on the back.. painted gunmetal, and then coated with "Kristal Klear".. Came out better than I thought it...

Thanks for all the comments.. The "paper on paper" method so far is working quite well. Though if the spacing between frames was wider, I would have tried something else.. Did not want to end up with a "starved cow look" when I start putting on the outside planking.. Have just been following...

Have finished the first layer of planking below the deck line. Here I've given the hull a light sanding taking out any high spots.

Hello Jerzy.. I know about the foam method, and was debating on whether or not to use it. Decided to give the paper method a try, and if I wasn't happy with the results, I would use foam on the next model.. I think if the openings between frames had been further apart, I would have used the...

Time to start laying the first planking. Hard to tell in this pic, but I've sanded and beveled deck and frames to where it feels smooth and flush. Parts for the first layer of planks.. Planking started..

Very nice work indeed.. What did you use for the final finishing coat?? Looks great.

Have cut out and added the main deck.. So far no problems. Deck glued.. Showing hatch opening, and the deck below....

Thanks Jerzy... Much appreciated. Cheers.

Jim.. Thanks for the compliment...Your the best cardmodeler I know...;-)

Jerzy.. Your friend has definitely raised the benchmark.. Outstanding workmanship.. Would love to know how he painted the markings on the sails? Cheers.

No... Just card, and good quality. Their new model of the "HMS Alert" is going to be released as a multimedia kit, and as a double kit (HMS Alert/Le Courier) that will be card only, as far as I know.. Off to work I go... Cheers..

Have added the deck that will be seen when the cargo hatch is opened.. Boxed it in with black stock so the frames would not show..

Richard... Thanks for the compliment.. I tend to be a slow builder, so this will a on and off again project.. I'm thinking of getting the box set of the "Alert".. When your double kit arrives, how about a write up/review of the models..

Thanks for the help... Was able to change the name on everything except the title..

Had a little trouble at first remembering how to include the pics.. Seems to be working..

One of the newer Shipyard kits, that includes two models.. Santa Maria & "Niña". As the "Niña" is the simpler of the two, I decided to go with this first. Both of these kits have excellent graphics compared to earlier Shipyard kits that I've seen.. Pictures show the cover, plus frames and...

Beautiful clean work, with a great set of photos showing her off...

Hello Jim.. Thanks to you and others for the comments... Not sure about OrangeCon.. Peter
