    Definite kudos to Tamiya for that kind of support. Paint is an outstanding cover.

    We've got 3-4 Great Horned owls up here in the woods. The Admiral has a phone app to sort the assorted noises. There are a number of different species around here. Crows, Canada Geese and cardinals predominate.predominate

    Sweet finish. Turning out great.
  24. Canute
    You're doing the Blairstown proud with this build. And lucky that you did find that errant sheave.
  25. Canute
    Those brake linkages look correct; nicely detailed. Glad you're adding the other carriages.
  26. Canute
    Rob, nicely done finish. The paint looks like it lays down nice and smooth. The color looks great.
  27. Canute
    Yellow always seems to be the most troublesome color to apply, followed by red. Your efforts will pay off soon, Andy.

    I've seen several modeling organizations us the various categories working your way up to a Master Modeler. Like Grant says, you're a master here. Unfortunately, many of our glues don't handle big temperature swings. Using CA to attach Photo etch is probably the worst, popping off at a bad time. Best cure for that is canopy glue and similar glues. They stay flexible enough to prevent separations.

    Denis, welcome back. Like EG says, we missed you. And with another cool build. Too bad about Gibbs; tough to lose a well loved pet.

    Jav, interesting method for building up the fuselage. And yes these were very chipped a/c. This will be a cool build. 👍

    I'll second Chris's recommendation. I've been fascinated with the Battle of Britain, ever since I was a young 2nd Lieutenant. There's also a video of this book.I watched in on our Public Broadcasting Network. Seems they played many British programs

    That was pretty common, here in the US. Photos of the first in a series of rolling stock and steam locos were actually whitewashed to show off the underframes and running gear, since these were black and white photos. The practice disappeared with the advent of the post war colorful diesels and color film.
  33. Canute
    Nice recovery, Roel. And yes, the black line is almost invisible.
  34. Canute
    It pays to shop around. And you're lucky to have a "brick and mortar" local hobby shop. Many have closed or are generic craft stores. My last local shop now only does internet sales.

    Most of the castings look fairly crisp, with no marks/flash from the molds. These are pewter cast?

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.
