More details on the decks Salut à tous! More details on the decks means that the end comes, but details take a long time to be locate. Here the "masts" which will support the fishing net, and the butresses of the masts strictly speaking: Then, to put my mistake right, I made rails on...

Hi evryone! I carry on with more details: Here, the windsocks : they are orientable as in true ships. The pipe is in poplar wood, and the air entry is made from a WWII british helmet and two-paste cement! Inner "furniture" of the wheelhouse! Made of the previous two-paste cement and some...

Funnel or not funnel ?? That is the question (see title above)! It gives a good aspect: But it doesn't allow butresses of the rear mast: And the original model had no big funnel. So I did as the original model... To be continued... Thanh Thuy.:wave:

Hello tout le monde! It's time to acheave the decks : I have put planks on them , made of coloured drawing paper. First deck is Ok; than the flanks of the hull, and the second deck: A pre-view of the guns: The yawl: To be continued... Thanh Thuy.:wave:

The lights... Salut everybody ! En exclusivité, the lights will run : Fiat lux, HE said... The roof, and the LEDs that I shall use. The schemes done by my younger son (I don't know anything in electronics) Holes done, and first external aspect of the roof: A place for the...

Salut tout le monde! I carry on with the OLRY. Now, here is the cabin on the first deck. After drawing its location on the deck, I built a massive cabin, where I placed the doors and portholes, and cut the roof of this cabin, to become the floor of the second deck (a bit longer and larger than...

Fine model and original topic. And a correct size, isn't it? Thanh Thuy.

Hi everyone! There is not only paper in my modelist life... Here are some pictures of ephemerial dioramas, about French Indochina conflict. Figurines are from the 8th army box, and modified to give them aspect of french soldiers of the CEFEO - (french expeditionary force of the far east)...

Hi again! Here the first pictures. I begin to build a 'skeleton' (like fishbone...) and I precise again that I use my ship as element of wargames, so I built her as a "waterline" model. The french sailor, 'kitbashed' from an "Atlantic" figurine is here to show the scale (1/72)...

Salut à tous! As whishes Steve aka 'Mysteroid' , I begin a post concerning a gunship which I built some years ago. Her name : "OLRY". I think that it is the name of a french admiral. The ship has been built in the end of the '90s' (I mean 1890!!) to protect the french (and occidental) people...

The pilot cabin Salut à tous! Voici la suite : la timonerie (The wheelhouse). As I previously wrote, I decided to change the aspect of the original cabin, as to allow me to put batteries and LEDs into, and put straight glasses (easier than curved ones). That was after painting...

If people has any interest, it makes me happy : from my point of view, it's a sure sign that I contribute to enhance the paper as a 'true' material for modelers, recycling what is generaly devoted to the bin ('trashcan' in US english!)...hum! Do I protect environment and am I eco-aware ? I don't...

A very original model ! Congratulations! Thanh Thuy.

Eu voi continua mâine montaj !;-) Je continuerai le montage demain I shall continue the assembly tomorrow... Salut! Thanh Thuy.:wave:

Hello happy tax-payer! What will now follow? I wrote : the cabin, remember!:rolleyes: Some details in stain sheet: As I was working with stain sheet, I prepared the separation lines of the hull's shells with rivets : I did rivets as follows: Here you can see the...

Hello papercard planet! I continue... You've seen above, around the winch, there are the rails of the hull. As I build the pieces sometime together, on the last picture, rails are glued. How did I do? I used a heavy card from a calendar... The poop, completed... Next post : the...

Well!...so, I carry on! The following post will show you how I have built the hull. I put shells of card all around the "fishbone-skeleton" you've just seen above. You can see that there is some work to adjust the shells. And you also can see that the glue distorted the card. It...

I only add some facultative pieces to the trawler, but she could be a discret one. Thanh Thuy.

Salut à tous! I introduce here a new naval thread, made from a 1/100 pattern, transformed to 1/72, of an old Polish Trawler of the brand "Modelarz". Why 1/72 in place of 1/100 ? Because I am a "wargamer" and play with 1/72 figurines, and there is a lot of opportunities to use them in...

Ới chàu Tuấn ! Chú cúng là vui vẻ chú gạp Tuấn dây ạ ! (I mean that I'm happy to meet my friend Tunny on this site too!) Bye... Thanh Thuy.
