    Ha! For some reason she seemed somewhat supportive of the idea - or at least didn't hit me with a frying pan or anything.

    Very nice! Love the added sails, great job!

    Great subject Craig, and nice save. It's amazing how much better the molding is on newer kits compared with the ones from a few decades ago. Too bad for cars like this you generally need to look at the older stuff. I'm jealous! I was driving my mom's old Nissan Sentra in grad school, and with three kids, I was driving a minivan for the last few years (though just bought myself an SUV). I told my wife I'm getting a 60s-early 70s muscle car when I retire. I'll be old and not single, but still worth it!

    Great job as always Kevin. That green paint job is stunning. I haven't been as enamored with the Japanese planes because of the green, but after seeing your build it's growing on me.

    Nice job!! Looks fantastic!

    Nice! Funny you mentioned this - my parents saved some fantasy miniatures I painted 30 years ago as a kid. Recently I found them in a box in my basement and put them out for my kids to take a look at. Surprisingly they held up well all these years.
  28. Landlubber Mike
    Wow, that looks amazing! Just saw they have a 1:200 Bismarck upcoming as well 🤩
  29. Landlubber Mike
    Fantastic work Bob!
  30. Landlubber Mike
    Coming along nicely OC! Looks like it will be a nice sized model.
  31. Landlubber Mike
    Nicely done Kevin!

    Great job Denis!!!

    Wow man, relax. From everything I've read - and I read a lot when setting things up on my end - having a dust extraction at the tool itself is one of the best things you can do. If the Rabbit works, that's great. Good for you. I wasn't denigrating anyone or anything.
  34. Landlubber Mike
    Thanks man! Every time I see your log I'm so tempted to start my Yukikaze, but I'm trying to have only one plastic ship going at a time. Still need to finish my 1/700 Hatsuzakura destroyer which hopefully I can get done by the end of the year. The PE is just so small I need to be of a particular mindset - i.e., masochistic - to work on it

    I run my Byrnes tools through a Fein shop vac, with a Dust Deputy cyclone canister to lower the load on the shop vac and save on bags. I also have an overhead Rikon filtration unit that is supposed to pull in dust that doesn't make it into the Fein. If you are going to use a shop vac, be aware that you might need an adaptor if the tool is imperial and the vac is metric or vice versa. Fein being German, I had to use a combo of two different adaptors to connect the Fein to the Brynes tools. I'd be curious if that Rabbit is sufficient for dust collection. My Byrnes tools kick out

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.
