    This has turned out so cool. Hope the vessels aren't too much of a pita to arrange.😄

    Well done, Chris.

    Well done McLaren, Rob. Yes the red was fooling my eyes in the initial pics as an orange. I vaguely remember watching a Marlboro car zip around the track in Zaandvoort, Holland in the 75-76 time frame. A handful of us aviators decided to go to a few F1 races and the Dutch Grand Prix was easy for us to go from our base in Germany. I think we went to the Nurburgring and decided it wasn't fun, because we saw so little of that race.

    Good looking P-40K Kittyhawk model. I've been delving into this whole series of aircraft. I think the Ks were one of of the largest classes.
  25. Canute
    Nicely done. The Campbell kits had some of the best instructions and added some techniques to the builder's bag of construction tricks.
  26. Canute
    Glad I could help. 😄
  27. Canute
    Rob, very nicely done. The Ma👍rlboro scheme is classy.
  28. Canute
    I believe your colors are appropriate for the mid 1700s. I refer to the decorations and paints used at Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. They do extensive research in that pre-American Revolutionary period.
  29. Canute
    Excellent build, Ras.
  30. Canute
    Roden is hit or miss for their kits. Popeye/Denis has built some and he has had similar issues. Unfortunately for us builders, they make some interesting subjects.

    That's pretty much what I've seen and heard about painting resin kits. I just got a freight car in a 3D print. Cleanup was removing sprue/print finger artifacts and a wash in Dawn and warm water. The resin felt sticky right out of the box. Tamiya fine primer to cover. Some paints don't stick to these resins, so why take a chance as you discovered with this body..
  32. Canute
    Craig, did this gentleman say what type of resin had this issue. I've shot Tamiya primers onto styrourethane resin with no reaction. Maybe he's talking about the resins used in 3D printing. The resins I've worked with have been generally from flat molds, so older type resins. I do have a few new cars that are 3D prints, but they're not ready for paint yet. Then again. I'm not using the more exotic paints on a railroad freight car. Rusty reds, grimy blacks and assorted grays. 😎
  33. Canute
    I'm still rooting for this, Glen.🤞
  34. Canute
    He's gutsy, not being tied onto that infernal drone. Or in communication with the .... drone pilot. Hope he's got a parachute. 😁
  35. Canute
    Coming along nicely, Andy. Paint looks very good. 👍

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.
