perhaps somebody would like to follow.....
...like Christian i also have a long run project. I like flying boats and always loved the Martin P6M Seamaster. I have the Topping model - need a stand for that one, if sombody has one left-
Some time after I finished my B-58, the idea came up to have a seamaster in metall and in a larger scale then the topping. I found a vacukit in 1:72 and luckily the producer lives about 30min driving away and i picked up the kit personaly. To build up a large vacu kit, filler & sanding, seperating this back into pices (3 parts) and make it solid enough so it would be possible to do the sandcasting. This took me around one year. Then my friend who did the casting (just as a hobby) needed another 4 month. Now i have the casting and i cleaned it the last days so that i have a base to work with. Now the long time of sanding and filler will come. It will be build in the tradition of the models of the '50/'60, so not too much details - The shape & look is important for me.
Also i have to think now, where it will be placed when it is finished.... it is large.
If you like the Seamaster too, i recommend the only book about it from Stan Piet
