Tsukuba-class BCs

[shigure]

Well I got the mold made and cast about 10 ships or enough for 5 sets (Tsukuba & Ikoma). I will post pics tomorrow night of all 10 units.

Learned a lot about making molds and casting resin models. Must make sure you get all the bubbles out. Biggest problem was the smoke stacks. If you don't get all the bubbles out this is where the major problem will be.

Attached are pics of the 10 ships that I molded of the Tsukuba class. If you are interested, I will sell two models for $ 8.00 plus shipping (same price as Panzerschiffe). They will go on a first come, first served basis. The mold still seems to be in good shape so I could do more if required. You will notice that some have white funnels. This is due to air entrapment, which I learned you must be careful when pouring the resin in the mold. So I added the funnels with plastic rod the same diameter as the originals. I would take payment via Paypal, check on US Bank, or money order on a US bank in US $$. There are some other areas that have small voids, but these can be filled with putty or Superglue gel and sanded down.

Just send me a message.
