    What adhesive do you use?

    I built a few kits as early as the 80s, gluing polyurethane resin with Zap a Gap. A lot of issues with them, mostly due to a lack of skills for construction. The glue held up. So, at least 30 years. You're correct about the odor; some of us are allergic. And don't glue clear plastic with CA. It clouds up. Although, some report dipping the canopy into Future/Pledge/whatever its called today, may limit the clouding effect.

    That will build into a doozy. 😁

    Looks like quite the beast, Craig. See these on the Interstates around here. Do you think this wrecker has enough chrome?

    Looks good, George. 👍 A little tidbit for y'all. Doors open out, hatches open in. At least in aircraft terminology.
  26. Canute
    Wow, I remember going to their store in Bogota, NJ, maybe in the late 70s. I'm in, Bob.
  27. Canute
    🤣
  28. Canute
    Wow, Chief. How many tubes of bondo did that take? 😆 I'd definitely award you the save on this monster. 👍
  29. Canute
    Great build, Greg. The one tanker and gendarme are looking pretty skeptically at the two poilus and their cart of vin/cognac blocking the tank's turn.
  30. Canute
    I really like how you've framed the scene, telling the story with your structures.
  31. Canute
    Your pix show off the classic lines of the Spitfire. Very nice.
  32. Canute
    Robo Cop and Terminators popped into my noggin viewing your handiwork, Yves. I like it. A number of model railroad rolling stock developers are going the 3D print route for being able to design kits of short runs for one off models. here's a link to one outlet. https://3dcentraltrains.com/collections/ho-scale

    That was very kind of them, Andy. Looking forward to your resumption of this build.
  34. Canute
    Nice details Eric. It's getting a lived in look. 👍
  35. Canute
    Well done on this NMF jet. I think you've captured the multi tone look of one of these planes. 👍

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.
