    does that mean that you had to master Organic Chemistry? There's a course that separates the wheat from the chaff!

    I don’t want to hijack my brother’s log, but thanks Keith and Keith. I’ll send pictures of the Xmas festivities

    Keith, bro, I’ve been having some medical issues, but I’ve got 4 doctors pouring over me. They’ll get it figured out.
  24. TBlack
    I love your patience in soliciting ideas and your polite responses. Mom would be proud of you! And your final result looks just fine; don’t agonize over it.
  25. TBlack
    Also, please see Dava Sobel’s book Longitude for more on Harrison

    These "T's" were altered many times over their lifespan, so the model will represent a particular time period in its life. The box that you are calling an armored conning station was the captain's sea cabin on our ship (1123) with the conning station above that. I was going to add, "nice work so far", but we've seen the finished product and the delighted recipient. Tom
  27. TBlack started following Mystery Sternwheeler By Keith Black - 1:120 Scale - 1870's Mosquito Fleet Work Boat and LST 750 by Jimbo1963 - BaD Ship Models - 1:96 scale - a retro build
  28. TBlack
    My Navy service was aboard LST 1123, a slightly later version of your model, but still of the 542 class. Naturally I’ll be following along. Tom
  29. TBlack
    OK, OK, this thread has caught my imagination, not to mention that it’s another Keith Black original. I’m in! Tom
  30. TBlack
    Hank, you might ask Dave Lester how he did it on his model. Tom
  31. TBlack
    Surface sonar? I thought sonar was underwater. Perhaps my ignorance, I’m amphibs. Tom
  32. TBlack
    Jack, As everyone else on this forum by now knows, mom loved Keith best, he being the baby of the family. And all you have to do is look at our respective build logs to see Keith’s marvelous accomplishments
  33. TBlack
    Jack, My brother, Keith, is the hippie. And the better modeler. I'm a little more buttoned down, being the older. But I'm also a Navy vet (engineering & navigation). Petty officer? love to know which dept. Tom Black
  34. TBlack
    Phil, Your memory of who did what with what, plus where various equipment was attached and their model numbers is quite remarkable. You must have been an excellent junior officer. I imagine that your DD214 is festooned with compliments. Tom
  35. TBlack
    If the vessel had been altered post launch, frammed, I guess, would that show up?
  36. TBlack
    Those plans you have must be very detailed, if they tell you how wide the grout is and the precise shade of paint.

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.
