The Ship Model Forum

Hello,

3 days ago, I decided to try my first scratchbuild project by using 1/700 templates in ModelArt 22 IJN Seaplane Tenders. I think those templates makes things relatively easier but not sure at the moment

I tended to modeling ships after seeing those magnificent works of Mr.Jeff Lin almost a year ago that Mr.Baumann nailed it ) and making this IJN Kamoi was something that I wanted to try when having templates in ModelArt magazine.

However ModelArt templates are different in shape and ( dimensions I guess) with Mr.Lin's built and I do not have any other source about vessel as scale dwgs or plans, so I guess I will follow ModelArt templates. On the other hand, hundreds of details and things are missing in ModelArt's templates and build so Mr.Lin's build will be primary source for fixing up those issues. Actually I already banged Gilberts head about German Hien-mat ship used and I guess I will more

So all helps, ideas and recommendations are wellcome..

Hi Serhan:


She looks great so far.

Did you use the sandwich method for making the hull in the first picture?
