Hi Bryce, You probably get asked this all the time. I would love to try building one of your models, like the F-18G or the F-15E. I read on this thread that you gave the .dat for your F16 to Mattias Martensson (lucky dog) , so I was wondering what I (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) What I do is build the general curve around the blocky basis of the hull--you know, a vertically straight horizontal curve. Then I build the curve outward on that. It does mean that my internal order is square; but it also means that I can use (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.military)

(...) Interesting. I've been trying to figure out a stable solution for strange curves like that for my next wet-navy project... this might be what I'm looking for. Hmm... (...) Small favors, eh? : ) Kenneth Tam (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.military)

(...) The obvious solution for me is a frame-by-frame construction, with each stud being rendered into a "frame." So I'll be building the flare out SNOTwise below deck level. I have frame-by-frame diagrams of _Takao_ which shall be adequate. It's (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.military)

(...) 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)

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)
