    The Eduard sets may have some stainless steel PE. Pre-plan your bends, the stainless may only allow 1 bend. I like your build. HMS Hood is one of my favorite ships.
  23. Canute
    Good planning, Eric. The railroad owned structures would all share the same palette. Private structures here were mostly brick, showing some prosperity. We had a number of camps around the area for the Low County area around Charleston, SC to leave the mosquito ridden, hot and humid dwellings for the cooler, drier mountain air in the area. Some hotels were quite posh. Most are gone, but some camps still operate over the summer.

    How did the prototype do them? You would need a color photo of the car in San Francisco versus what the model company put on the box. It's your railroad, so do what floats your boat.

    This scene looks great, Eric. I like your adding the tavern interior. Will you do up figures? The differing sizes and colors looks spot on. Love your work.
  26. Canute
    Very impressive, Alan. The yellow looks great. And the lions do, too. I get a kick out of the war hammer he's carrying. Looks a lot like the Halligan tool firefighters use to pry open doors in a hurry.

    Here's a site for paper models of all the shuttles and their cargoes/payloads: https://axm61.wordpress.com/ We need a space pickup truck like the shuttles to haul the follow-on space station. I think "Alpha", the current facility, will get decommissioned in 2030. Of course, that could slip. My flight of aviators had just sat down for lunch in front of a big screen TV when the news came over the news feed. We were stunned. Crikey, that was a long time ago.

    The fuselage looks good. The carb and machine gun attachments will be an interesting modeling step. 👍
  29. Canute
    I suspect it's insurance to prevent a car using that space for wheel flanges if it rides up on an object in the flangeway. Railroads/railways were notorious belt and suspenders folks. 😄
  30. Canute
    Nicely done, Rob. 👍 The driver's "office" was so much simpler back then.
  31. Canute
    Maybe it was an elevated viewing station/crow's nest. The mast wasn't usable, but elevation was needed to see over whatever was being barged around. Railroad tugs had higher wheelhouses to see over the multiple floats they moved around various harbors.
  32. Canute
    My gosh, a fire breathing penguin. St Elmo, protect this poor navigator!
  33. Canute
    I learned the term from railroaders explaining the once widespread heaps in the Scranton-Wilkes Barre area. The heaps are gone now, as is the haze from the heavy industries of that area.
  34. Canute
    Nice match, John.
  35. Canute
    Yes, yellows are a pain to paint. Your multiple coats is the best route. The lion as a decal should 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.
