    Sorry for your loss Carl.
  2. 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.

    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.
  4. 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.
  8. 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
  12. Jack12477
    I know ! You just love those old rust buckets !
  13. Jack12477
    OC, that's the same link I posted. Problem must be at COG's end.
  14. Jack12477
    I can link to it. Anybody else havin trouble with the link?
  15. Jack12477
    Carl, don't want to hijack your group build log so I will keep it brief. Here's a link to a little info on the History of Irish Navy. Also I'm trying to find other information but I did find this one model of an Irish OPV (Offshore Patrol Vessel) L.E Roisin. Other than this I haven't found any models; still researching the history also. Here's a link to photo of finished model.
  16. Jack12477
    Yes, but Ireland since 1922 or maybe 1938, has it's own Navy (or more precisely - "self Defense Force") with their own ships. designated LE or Long Eireannach, example LE Samuel Becket P61. BTW, Carl, if I remember my history correctly, RBN includes Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland only - it does not include the Republic of Ireland.
  17. Jack12477
    And Ireland ????
  18. Jack12477
    That it does !
  19. Jack12477
    Happy Birthday, Kevin ! Hope you are enjoying the day.
  20. Jack12477
    Happy Birthday, Denis !
  21. Jack12477
    WOW ! Beautiful model. Are you going to build it for R/C ? Would look cool cruising around a small lake or pond. What's the overall length as she is built now?
  22. Jack12477
    You got that right Lou. They're about the size of a WWII Navy Hellcat, fly in tight formation, and can dive bomb better than Navy Aces. Only thing worse is their "No-See-Em" stealth black bugs. I've been in Florida in July. <evil grin> You planking looks good, Lou. That's similar to the way I did my two AL kits.
  23. Jack12477
    Just a short update to let everyone know that I am still upright, ventilating, taking nourishment, and on the green side of the sod, as my Dad used to say. It's been so humid around here this summer that I've had no ambition to get into the shipyard and work. And summer activities have also interfered. I did get the two sails cut out and sewn. I just need to attach the bolt rope, make some decals for the numbers, and attach them to the masts/spars. I decided to forgo the grommets, couldn't get anything that looked right at this scale.
  24. Jack12477
    Those look even better than RR figure, CDW.
  25. Jack12477
    CDW, N-scale Model Railroad is 1:160 , might be close enough, if not, Z-scale is 1:220. You might find a set with Railroader workers.

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.
