Amazing, I wonder if they were prepared to do that kind of heavy maintenance at sea or did they cary spares like that to have on hand for after they limped into a shipyard? Long ago as a C-130 First Mechanic we carried spare parts but nothing that would require special lifts or cranes. I can only imagine looking at that piston the size and weight of the engine head! Even simply changing the piston on a car is a big job so I am guessing if they carried this as a spare it would be for use in a maintenance facility or am I wrong?

I admire your tenacity sir! I take my hat off to you. It makes me scold myself for my inner whining when I consider my rework troubles and repairs I need to do and keep putting off in order to move forward on my POB II.

First off Mery Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! A little progress in the shipyard. I have cut out all the laser cut pieces. Notice the kit even includes laser cut pieces for spacers between the bulkheads to stiffen prior to fairing. Nice touch! This could of been scratch made but its nice that these are included. I have attached a better photo. After I posted my first I noticed I should have flipped the pieces over to the clean side. It would have made a much more attractive photo. Sorry Toni. I guess that's why I am not a professional photographer or work in marketi

Thanks Gary for the explanation. It is looking good I think the cherry deck and rail sound like they will look really nice.

Hi Mark your work is always an inspiration. I don't mean to go to far off topic if I am please let me know but your health problems with the sanding got me thinking I should be waring a mask too. I asked a friend of mine who does fine woodworking his thoughts. He told me reactions to the dust can be the result of allergies to certain kinds of wood as others have mentioned above but he said the real danger and most issues come from the sandpaper itself due to micro silica. I never considered that or that in extreme cases it could lead to Silicosis according to my friend. So I am

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.
