Hello Corbin,
Thanks for the introduction to “wonder wire”.
What kind of adhesive works best?
Do water based glues work?

Hi Mike,

I just use the same white glue that I use for the rest of the construction. Since the ceramic fiber is stiff and keeps itself straight, it only needs to be tacked on at each end as there is no tension on it. If there is a hole it goes into on each end it really doesn't even need to be glued at all.

Cheers, Corbin

Hi Jaska,

Yes, that's the sister ship of the one I am building. Thanks for the link to the video. It's always fun to see different areas of the ship.

Cheers,Corbin

I am so glad that I finally got registered. Please hold it
for me. Thank you.

I scarecely find such a detailed model. It challenges the patience
and capability of the builder. The design itself is marvelous, but the outcome is good or not depends on the builders themselves.

Thank you for the nice compliment. I stopped working on this project after some damage I caused to the refueling rig. I have also been away from this great site for far too long. I think it is time to repair the damage and get back to work.

Cheers, Corbin

CORBIN;
Isn't it funny ? These guys that call themselves model builders will spend many bucks on say a TRUMPETER Missouri, But think Card Models are too difficult ! I have always been amazed by that attitude .When I took my tug , with removable bottom to a model show at our club ,the response was amazing . The most common comment was " I couldn't make those round parts , No Way and the prop too uh.uh."
The tug was the American made Tug " Two Friends " Also known as the " Filibustering Tug " She was owned by William Flagler and another gent .William Flagler is a name synonomous with Florida history and politics of the twenties and thirties .I believe I got the time right ?
That was without a doubt one of the most fun card models I have ever built .It now resides ( Still ? ) on the model train Layout at Just Trains ( A model railroad store ) In Concord, California .
Everybody that saw her, loved her .
She was without a doubt the card model that cemented my love for the genre . I would someday ,like to find another to build for me !

Corbin :
I have been bouncing all over this build .I can't seem to stop .This is amazing work .Kin I have one too ?
Now you are one of the folks who can understand why I put so much detail in my scratch build ships of another media . Wow ! and other comments come to mind , but don't seem to do you justice .
I don't have the pictures , but , I have created a 1/32 model of my oil spill work boat .with the special gear built by LORI .It's an LCM - 6 . I did it in plastic first and then paper just to see if I could . I surprised myself .
Not as good as what you are doing , but , just as interesting . I like all the little chotski's on this model ! Papersurprise 50
