    I saw it advertised on Scale Hobbyist website as backordered. Presumably they can still get it. I have it on a watchlist.

    Is this Tamiya kit the same plane ? Looks like decals may be included
  3. Jack12477
    Probably had to use pack mules to get over Snoqualmie Pass

    But Andy, first they had to fell the tree, carve out the dugout canoe, season it, then paddle down the Great Lakes to you. And you know how treacherous those Lakes can get ! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

    Yes, that's why I replaced all of Model Shipways kit rope with Artesania Latina rope at first until I discovered your rope. Now I replace everybody's kit rope with Syren rope. Good stuff, Chuck. Forgot to mention, same applies to kit supplied blocks, they get replaced with Syren blocks also,

    Ah, here it is. Man is it ever heavy ! Whew !

    The snail mail is a tad late back east 😁😁

    Speaking of detail, has anyone seen the Ramin Shrimp noodle kit by Bandai which they posted to Instagram ? My son thinks they did it partly as a joke and partly to say see what we can do. Bandai also makes the Gundam kits.

    I retired 4 times before I made it permanent in January 2008........ Enough already ! Don't miss it a bit.
  10. Jack12477
    Wow! By that time I've been up for at least 3 hrs, had full breakfast, coffee, watched the morning horror show and mowed the lawn! 😎😎😎😎 And I'm retired !!!! And an empty nester !!!! <yawn>
  11. Jack12477
    Yep !
  12. Jack12477
    I know ! He keeps elbowing me ! 😁😁😁
  13. Jack12477
    Ok, I guess the west coast and the Brits beat me to the show but I'm here too. Getting to be too many to keep track of like Lou said.
  14. Jack12477
    Ah ! But it was 9:30 AM on your coast when I posted, Lou. 😴😴😴😴😴
  15. Jack12477
    Do you also ride a unicycle and juggle bowling pins at the same time ? 😁😁😁😁

    As did mine after I said NO and pointed out to him that the risk to a person over 75 of a perforation is far greater than the benefit of finding cancer early. Even my Oncology Epidemiologist daughter agreed with me and recommended Colaguard. I also pointed out to him that a close family friend who had survived pancreatic cancer and was cancer free for 8 years was coerced into having one at age 65 and died - never woke up from the procedure, was on a ventilator for 2 weeks before dieing. He stopped dead in his tracks and suggested colaguard instead.
  17. Jack12477
    COLAGUARD is a good alternative, less invasive. Ask him about that.

    Ironically my youngest daughter used to live in Keene! She was Guidance Dept Chair at Keene State College. When she first moved to NH, they lived on Gilmore Pond in Jaffrey before moving into Keene. Now she's in Maryland. Used to drive up to Keene a lot, only about a 3 hr drive for us.

    Good on the decal solutions. I see they added satin to the mix, that's new. And I second OC's advice on the Sol. Go easy and don't touch after you apply it..
  20. Jack12477
    Thanks Craig, Ken
  21. Jack12477
    Craig, where do you get the Mr Colot/Mr Hobby paints ? The 3 online hobby stores I use only carry the primer and maybe the leveler but no paints (Free Time, HobbyLinc, Megahobby).
  22. Jack12477
    Ummmmm, Denis ! How big is this work shop of yours ? The size of a B52 hanger, maybe ? I count at least 8 concurrent active builds going on in your shop right now ! 😁😁😁😁😁 I have difficulty just keeping track of just one build let alone 8 ! What's your secret ? 😀😀😀😀 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
  23. Jack12477
    This is such a cool kit ! Don't think I would have the patience to build it but it is so unique and well done.
  24. Jack12477
    Looks like I got here before Lou. Taking front row center seat.
  25. Jack12477
    Tell me ! I got my 1st 35mm camera in 1954, Kodak 35mm, upgraded to Pentax H3 SLR in 1960, then Pentax SP500, then Pentax K1000 (2 of them). Now I have a Pentax iST 35mm and Pentax K50 DSLR. All the cameras work fine still except the K50 which has an electronics problem. My Canons are just pocket cameras for grab and go, or models photos since the K50 is down. And, yes, I have a 35mm darkroom in basement, mostly for B&W. The Canon DSLRs are real good, got my oldest granddaughter one of those packages, she loves it. Does some good work with it.

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.
