    Soak the bow in isopropyl alcohol to lossen the glue, then you can correct the alignment and reglue.

    Could you install the tracks, then the drive gear?

    Something "interesting" I found out about Sketchup today, at least mt 2017 version. Well really two but one lead to another. I'm designing an interior for a brass HO passenger car I have. So I designed it to a scale 10 7/8" length on my regular CAD program, and transfered it to SketchUp using an old Pro version I have, just for such activities. I had earlier discovered that when I do this, I use inches in my regular CAD, but when I import the drawing (DWG) into my older version converts it from inches (say 100") to feet (100')! So for this interior, I went ahead and shrank it back to the 10+ inches. Then I started to work with it, SketchUp does not like to use fractions of an inch smaller than 1/16th or 1/32!! This makes generating small parts difficult, you start to run into gainyish issues.! I can manipulate the original I imported, but sometimes trying to generate new "things" causes it ti cought. So from now On I design my stuff Full scale, then shrink it down!

    Use acid free paper, though I'm sure regular paper would probably be good for 10 or 15 years, before it starts to yellow.

    I finally go there! I had to Google Naval Academy Museum and go through their menus.

    For some reason I can't seem to get to it on my computer. Strange, I tried Firefox and Edge.

    Yes, leave a way to see all that detail!

    And they can bury me with it, after the admiral kills me for buying it!

    According to the information I found on the movie, that King Kong was, like the original, supposed to be about 25 feet high, if that helps for scaling.

    Roger, which ship are you building?

    I can see a 3D CNC carving of this in my near future.

    The Sherman used a radial engine also. If the engine in your kit is as detailed as the illustrations show, you might want to display it next to the tank, rather than hide it inside.

    This was posted on another thread, but I think it fits.

    Unfortunately, none of the buildings will be tall enough for him to climb.

    I'll be watching, and thanks for the download link! This is just the type of ship I've been looking for for the pier area of my model railroad! And I love that version as well as the original version of the King Kong movies!

    1350mm, I'm sorry dear, I thought the catalog said 135mm! Must need new glasses! Why do you have that gleam in your eye, and why are you holding a knife?

    Check that Chitubox supports your brand and model of printer.

    Man, Chris put a lot of innovation into this kit! Great design and detail!
  21. thibaultron
    Opps, that one is out of stock too, sorry. Maybe try Ebay?

    Jim, best wishes for a full and speedy recovery!

    Pointy, sharp, depends on the overall shape. After all a bluff front could hardly be considered sharp.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
