The D-cup "No shit! It's a Tit!" spinnaker is in place. I'm calling this a win! The Catamaran model instructions will go this far. The sunshade for the helm was the pain I imagined it would be. My own 1/700 Lagoon 46 model will wear another solar panel on top of the

A little more headway on the 1/350 scale USCG Island class cutter master. The flying bridge windscreen is up. Application of superstructure P/E details continue....

In the Model scene in UK, has anyone heard about any developments concerning Fly 1/72 F7F Tigercat kits? scalemates.com/kits/fly-72066…

The 1/700 scale FRC Masters are ready for RTV. Find the popular 110' freezer trawler kit filling the empty space in the mold. The big trawler was due for a few improvements and a new mold. One more casting of the 1/700 Lagoon 46 catamaran mold will yield the 4th SATCOM /dome

12 hours at 70 psi produced these two molds. The 1/700 Fast Response Cutter and SATCOM/dome antenna mold. The molds cleared as hoped with minimal damage to the Masters. Following Smooth-On instructions, this RTV silicone will fully cure in 24 hours. First castings after 1800

We celebrated the seventh anniversary of our first pillow-fight on Monday. 🥰 (I let her win.) The Cracker Barrel was our chosen dining spot. When you order the BBQ bacon fat-ass cheeseburger, it comes with a cute little wooden barrel stuck in it. This may very well become

I'm really pleased with these results! The RTV mold picked up the Danforth anchor in the FRC's bow and her distinctive bow profile is faithfully reproduced! The RB-M's forward towing bitt is too tall, but that is east to cut down to scale height. The dome antenna mold did it's

Minor improvements were made to the popular 1/700 110-foot freezer trawler masters, and again, the new RTV mold performed as hoped. I usually take the time to remove the molding pedestals on larger (?!) resin model parts. The new 110-footer should build very much like the

The Postmistress brought a package from Japan yesterday. I just retired and I know money is tight right now, but I plainly lacked the ability to continue Life without these Sweet 1/144 model kits. If a guy is feeling blue, the box art on these little gems never fails to bring

I had a short cast (not enough material) on HMS Bounty. Well, waste not, want not! A little shaping gives us HMS Bounty in her historical (for both ships) sinking guise. This Bounty is going down off Banshee Rock, unless the current carries her to deeper water and Davy Jones'
