    Willys Jeep from Modelik

    Looking good! This one is near the top of my todo list (so maybe I'll get around to it next year! :) ), anxious to see it go together.

    I have finished the Kettenkrad, my first model

    FIRST build? Are you nuts? :) Seriously, this is great. Very bold move doing something like this for a first! It looks great!

    Better Modeling with Meta/Pep/P.N – Tutorial 1: Introduction

    Thanks for continuing Jay! For anyone reading that has used Blender, how easily would these instructions transfer, or do the programs work so differently that it would not apply at all? Thanks! Rick

    Better Modeling with Meta/Pep/P.N – Tutorial 1: Introduction

    Jay, another thanks for doing this. It will be a big job to do all of the great tutorials you've outlined! I've been wanting to learn to do this, but find the tools to be a bit, err.... unapproachable... And this from a person pretty handy around a PC. I'm looking forward to seeing stepwise...

    Building the GPM ME262 Schwalbe

    Great job! And that was REALLY fast! Thanks for the tip about the circle template for petal forming. I hate petal parts and always struggle with them. I'm sure I can make use of this tip! I've often stood at the craft store staring at various drafting tools (templates, erasing shields, etc)...

    A hint - something else with a North Carolina connection. But back to aircraft.

    Build: USS North Carolina, JSC, 1:400

    BB 55 is in Dry Dock At this point I'm shelving this build. As I reached the back of the main superstructure and tried to build upon it, I ran into a real mess. The deck was very uneven and I could not correct it by this point. Then the next parts to go on did not fit well at all and once...

    Build: USS North Carolina, JSC, 1:400

    No, I have no other 1:400 to compare. I'm just saying that for similar size structures that have to hold shape, regardless of scale, it seems thin. But I'm not a boat guy (yet), so I may be off a bit :)

    Build: USS North Carolina, JSC, 1:400

    I've noticed that the card stock on this is thinner than other books I've got.

    Build: USS North Carolina, JSC, 1:400

    eib, Once I saw the problem I should have gone ahead and started reinforcing but I didn't (lazy). When I realized how bad it had become and how it was going to affect subsequent steps it was really too late, as I had the main superstructure (which was the worst culprit) in place. I don't...

    Build: USS North Carolina, JSC, 1:400

    Just a little progress. Main superstructure first, then most of the fore superstructure in place. I have noticed 3 things about this model that I don't like. First, there are color registration problems here and there. Not a big deal, but still... Second, parts fit is kinda hit and miss...
