1966 Buick Riviera by CDW - FINISHED - AMT - 1:25 Scale
Jack12477 replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
At about 19 cents a gallon as I recall. (10 cents if you were filling up at an Army motor pool.) -
The thick white/yellow strips are the hull planking first layer. The 0.5 mm thin walnut strips are the 2nd planking, the 0.5 mm thin yellow strips are the 2nd planking above the wales, also deck planking. This is how most of AL kits come, the ultra thins strips are veneer.. See my build log, link in signature below

Perhaps Dr Per (aka @Nirvana) at Therapy for Shipaholics could address that question 🤔 😉 😀 😄

I would recommend Hydrocal plaster, it's lightweight but extremely strong, been used by Model Railroaders for decades to make lightweight hard shell scenery. See my discussion here.. Also school kids white glue, Elmer's is one brand, diluted 50-50, plus toilet paper or Kleenex style tissue can be used to make pathways, roads, trails, etc.

I almost did that but chose a '65 Mustang instead as more practical. If only I knew then ....... -

Micromark Micro Miter box super value. Includes wood handle, saw blades and miter box. I have one and I find it very good for small work. -

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.
