    Beautiful model. Congratulation on your awards.
  5. Jack12477

    And it tastes very very very good better than popcorn even.

    She only barks to alert not deter.
  8. Jack12477
    I'm here too. Brought the Corgi (dog) along; she'll bark loudly if anyone tries to raid the popcorn machine.
  9. Jack12477
    Ok, Mark, Kevin, Carl, Ken, slide over so I can join too.

    Nice job, OC

    Sounds like a good compromise, Robert. Yes, information on the lightships is hard to come by, especially the early years. When I was restoring our local lighthouse, I did a lot of research and found there's a lot of information on the lighthouses themselves but not much on the lightships. Another good organization, in addition to the USCG Historian's Office, that might have some useful historic information is the United States Lighthouse Society formerly in San Francisco now in Washington State. They have a section on their website which contains a list of downloadable books on lighthouses Your model is looking good BTW !

    Sorry for your loss Carl.
  13. Jack12477
    I guess the little mouse up in the last row of the bleachers should chime in too and say nice job on the colour Carl. I like the camo effect.
  14. Jack12477
    Robert, you could make them a fixed white light, as some early lighthouses were configured that way before the advent of "occulting devices" which were used to "hide" the light for a period of time making it appear to flash (in the days before electric lights). I haven't been able to find a reference that lists the patterns for Lightships - plenty of references for stationary lighthouse tho.
  15. Jack12477
    Robert, don't forget to check the USCG Historian's Office for records of the light list for these Lightships - each Lightship (as well as each Lighthouse) has their own unique light flash pattern. That is, if you plan to actually light the tower lights as well.

    Guess I better grab a seat before it's SRO!

    Glad to hear that you are safe and your home is undamaged, Dave. Stay well. Hope the waters drain away quickly so your neighbors can get help with the recovery.

    Should be in Western NY State by middle or end of next week - with heavy rain forecast.
  19. Jack12477
    Likewise, Dave

    Something else! What you are thinking of is the clear wrap you put over windows to seal out winter cold drafts aka " poor man's storm window". Food cling wrap will work for you.

    How about something like this https://www.walmart.com/ip/Set-of-2-Large-Pop-Up-Mesh-Screen-Food-Cover-Tents-Keep-Out-Flies-Bugs-Mosquitos-Reusable/51252299?athcpid=51252299&athpgid=athenaItemPage&athcgid=null&athznid=PWVUB&athieid=v0&athstid=CS020&athguid=466001f5-d0f1f7a9-f02630adf38f47a6&athena=true

    I'm using Win XP <horrors >, Firefox. No problems here
  23. Jack12477

  24. Jack12477

  25. Jack12477

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.
