(smaller one for practice) Couple questions. 1) what is filler and can you use regular paints on it? 2) what paint is best to use when a brush is required? Especially white paint - i've been using white acrylic for wall sections and stuff on the 1:570 scale titanic and its not looking too good. 3) anyone cover the larger portholes and windows on either of the models with anything that looks like glass? 4) To the person (sorry forgot your name) who was questioning how to light his 1:350 scale titanic, have you come up with anything yet? I'm about to use fiber optics but there are just so many portholes! Thanks everyone, Bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) From: "Ron or Julie Hillsden" Subject: Majestic Class Carrier You can ask the Canadian Public Archives www.archives.ca for drawings for HMCS Magnificent or HMCS Bonaventure. Maggie was completed in WW2 and had a straight deck. Bonnie was post war and had an angled deck. Browse their site. You may have to fax or write to get them to research, but I know they have builder's drawings. Thankfully they have been converted to microfilm so you get them on 11x19' sheets of paper rather than the old 1/4" to the foot ammonia copies which were 50' long!
