(...) LFB, I've had a very simular idea for handrails on a boat model i've got in the planning stages right now. Glad to see great minds thinking alike! Derek Hawkins (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.military)

(...) Dear me, either way you go you'll have lovely heavy cruiser for yourself. Have you thought of how to deal with that bow flare yet? It's got an awful curve to it by all appearances! I've said before, I'll say it again: I can't *wait* to see (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.military)

(...) Hmm--now I'm confused. When I looked yesterday, the image seemed strangely dark and difficult to see clearly. Now it's still darkish, but I can see it pretty well. I suspect some sort of elaborate plot to keep me from viewing your (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.military)

(...) (URL) is the pattern. My intent is to do the interior of the ship in light grey, and the exterior in dark grey and tan. It should be possible; for the layout, machinery, and deck fittings, I have a copy of Janusz Skulski's superlative _Heavy (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.military)

Hmm... the railings look good to me... My big question is: HEAVY CRUISER!?! *ahem* Sorry, that came out a bit abruptly... let's give it another go: HEAVY CRUISER? Some elaboration *please*! Got any specific class in mind yet -- a Baltimore? A (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.military)

(...) Wait, is it too bright, or too dim? I'm a bit confused as to what you're asking me. But yeah, I've thought about the sheet styrene angle, and I decided against it--I'm a purist at heart. It's hard enough for me to even cut the straws, though (...) (22 years ago, 15-May-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.military)

Hi everyone, This is the solution I've come up with for warship railing. I'm eager to hear anyone's suggestions or further ideas; I intend to cover the whole ship with this stuff, so it's going to be very part-intensive. (So anyone who's willing to (...)
