Revell Gorch Fock 1/150
Decks painted at last. Quite impressed with the mould on these, for a 1/150 there's some nice detail in there.- Bobby Conkers

Revell Gorch Fock 1/150
Some serious detail on these decks considering it's a 1/150. Going to take a while to paint! To try and give a bit of box review, the mould is pretty damn good. The hull could have been chunkier, although flimsiness does make deck fitting easier. Decks are very solid, not bendy at all, and...- Bobby Conkers

Quick update, hull done. Quick note: I love Tamiya masking tape. Three coats on that thin brown line, absolutely no bleed.- Bobby Conkers

Revell 1/96 Spanish Galleon
Finished! Actually been finished a while, just took a while to get the photo spot cleared. I'll take a video later to show the lighting in action, but for now some snaps. As ever, any suggestions for improvement would be very helpful to me. Thanks to all for your help with this. Learned so...- Bobby Conkers

Charles W Morgan ship in a bockle
Well I'm glad I got this out of the way. Terrible in so many ways, comparing it to a "proper" job is embarrassing. Spindly, weak, badly thought out and amateurish. I didn't do my best with it as a perfect execution would be little improvement. Avoid. I did learn about the mechanics though and...- Bobby Conkers

Revell Gorch Fock 1/150
Another boat! I like boats. Bought from a well knowm auction site for not much. Revell sent me a replacement set of instructions without argument. Box is battered to a pulp, but amazingly the sprues are intact. No bits detached. Got the hull together and painted (four coats!). Last coat had...- Bobby Conkers

Thought this might interest some.
While doing my terrible ship in a bottle, thought I'd show you my heirloom - it may interest some of you. It was made by my great grandfather (James Gronhaug MBE) in 1915 or 1916. We're not sure when as he was away at sea when he made it, then gave it to his son when he returned in late...- Bobby Conkers

Charles W Morgan ship in a bockle
Thank you. I'd be interested to see those photos, although what I've done will look nothing like it! I've done a test run - one string snapped so I'm having to repair that, and the holes are very oddly angled in the deck so there is no way to get everything straight. I was fairly lazy with it...- Bobby Conkers

Charles W Morgan ship in a bockle
Hi all. Thought I'd do a quick knock up of a ship in a bottle which I've had for 20 years and hogs cupboard space for no good reason. Not doing anything special on this, it's more to see how much I enjoy it, and whether it's worth the effort to do a 'good' one. I've already put the boat...- Bobby Conkers

DIY Spray Glue
Hi ladies and gents. Just a quick one - if I want to create a pumped PVA spray glue (I avoid aerosols), what mix of PVA and water would a chap use? Also, I presume a couple of drops of washing up liquid would be wise? TIA, Bobby- Bobby Conkers

Slow delivery rattlecans
Good morning all. Without going into my reasons for not airbrushing again, does an option exist for aerosol cans which deliver at a similar rate as an airbrush? All I have used, varnish and primer, would really be for large areas; they're rather unsubtle, not to mention the fact they're...- Bobby Conkers

Sh*t Gift Russian Roulette
No idea where else to stick this. A Happy New Year to all. We are having our annual NYE party with negative LFT friends. This consists of behaving like drunk 8 year olds, consuming vast quantities of beige, and our own favourite party game, Sh*t Gift Roulette. The rules are simple, and nothing...- Bobby Conkers

Revell 1/96 Spanish Galleon
Well chuffed with how the lanterns have turned out. Thanks to all for the advice on epoxy putty molding, they're very sharp when you get the technique right. A tiny bit uneven when really close up, but I'm more than satisfied. Of course, I could have just bought a couple, but wouldn't have...- Bobby Conkers
