    Thanks! I followed this guy's technique

    A little side diversion. From the Post-apocalyptic series by Master Box, Raider Reaper in 1:24 scale. A really simple figure kit to assemble, it’s more about painting figures. I used Vallejo paints. After assembly I sprayed the figure with Tamiya's rattle can Fine Light Grey primer, then after drying I airbrushed it with Vallejo black primer. After that cured overnight, I airbrushed it again with Vallejo white primer, except this time I held the figure so I was spraying straight down with the top of his head pointed straight at the airbrush, leaving a white over black misty finish. (Sorry, no pictures, I was following a YouTube video on the technique). Results follow:

    Same weather down here. We're waiting for real winter to arrive. Our favorite winter sport. 😁😁😁 Yes, that is the Hudson River !

    Yes, there's several regions, Southern Tier, Western NY, Niagara Region, Finger Lakes region, Mohawk Valley Region,Capitol Region, Upper/Mid/Lower Hudson Valley, Adirondacks Region (the real "Upstate" 😉😊) also known as The North Country; and then there's "Downstate", basically everything south and east of Tappen Zee Bridge (Westchester, Manhattan, Long Island), or is it Spuyten Duyvil, I can never remember which! 😉😊😇

    Welcome ! Up near Montague? I'm originally from Rochester. Have a daughter in Buffalo. Who will win the Golden Snowball Award this season ? 🤔

    Thanks Patrick. I'm still getting use to needing glasses for Close-up work, used to be I only needed them for distance.

    Veritas also makes a Honing jig for their miniature planes

    Try keeping a bedroom window open about 1 - 2 inches at night while you sleep regardless of outside temperatures. Your bedroom should be cooler anyway while you sleep. Close the window when you awaken in morning. I've been doing that for nearly 80 years and rarely do I get flu. My parents started me on that routine as a child. I can’t stand sleeping in hotels/motels with their sealed windows. Get well soon.

    Thanks, Mark. No, this will be a shelf model. The "team" kit that goes with it has been out of stock for over a year now. Plus I have no place for another diorama.

    Thanks everyone

    Yes ! Had a little trouble getting a narrower spray pattern.

    I live 14 miles from the Aerodrome, just across the Hudson River. Been there many many times. Very worthwhile visiting, especially the airshow on weekends. It was founded by Cole Palen, who hand-built the first Fokker replica for their airshow. It's in their museum. Cole used to fly it and created/portrayed the character Black Baron for the show. Met him on a number of occasions, great guy. Olde Rhinebeck Aerodrome

    Finally ! It is finished !
  18. Jack12477
    Me too !

    Very very very bad ! Both for your wallet as well as your feet, legs, back ! I tell them " I'll be in the Pub! You can roll me home when you're done shopping! "

    You mean you didn’t lay on the couch and watch 12 hours of non stop NFL football? 🏉🏈🏉🏈🏉🏈🏉🏈🏉🏈🏉🏈🏉🏈 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴

    I haven’t used mine yet ! But given that I tried to make a full size shooting board that sort of works with their pocket plane and larger bench plane, I think this will work much better for me on smaller dimension wood like kit planks etc. I still have two antique ice boat models on the drawing board I want to build in scale like the previous one, 1888 Rocket (link in signature). I have not been disappointed with any of the Veritas miniature tools I've purchased thus far. They are well made and very sharp right out of box.
  22. Jack12477
    They also make a Gloss and Flat finish in same size bottles, which I use for smaller areas. And I also use Pledge Revive It (bottle on right in Egilman's post above).
  23. Jack12477
    I'm here also.

    Congrats to her

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.
