    Rob, that's a bummer. Park it for a while. This will let you decide on a path of repairs. It's too distinctive a livery to consign it to the Shelf of Mis-fit Toys.

    Nice one. New Airfix molds are so much nicer. They fit well. I' in.👍

    As Banyan said, a quirky boat. The colors are close to system colors some railroads used on their company structures. Maybe this fellow "liberated" some paint from the Pennsylvania RR to decorate this workboat. Fun to speculate for a back story. Merry Christmas to you all and your families. 😁

    Merry Christmas to one and all. And best wishes for the new year!

    Beautiful Corsair, Danny. Great memories for you. 😄

    Looks like a nice transition at the stern, Clare. Hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas.

    You have to wonder if the manufacturer actually built the model and then took the time to add some amplification to the assembly instructions. Well, you keep adapting and overcoming. Very nice job, Andy.

    Well done, Phil. I think you've got this card modeling gene now.👍
  9. Canute
    Nice build, so far. Have a happy holiday vacation. Hope your pooch weathers the surgery.

    Well done on the build. Working boats are always interesting builds.👍
  11. Canute
    Well done. Decals are excellent. 👍
  12. Canute
    Your Arado looks excellent, Ian.👍

    Go for it, Eric. Good logic for doing it.

    Eric, one of my local layouts protects his light signals near the aisle with clear pieces of plexiglass. They're 2-3 inches wide and run a couple of inches on the fascia for attachment and high enough to go above the signal heads.

    I think you've successfully captured the look of that hand-painted letter board. 👍

    Nicely done, Eric. Pretty posh barn, with a chimney. Like you said, must be one of the more affluent citizens. My old horse farm was outfitted with lights and water. Needed heat tape wrapped around the water hydrant in the winter.

    Nicely done, Yves.

    Nicely done, Rod. This is a display model; not a rubber-band powered flyer?
  19. Canute
    That's what I was planning to use. I have plenty of that tape.

    . Look at this page to get an idea of the various brands of paint available contrasted to RAL paints.. https://www.cybermodeler.com/color/ral840r_table.shtml Here's a website for DKM info. https://www.kbismarck.org/forum/index.php I had a few more websites bookmarked, but they seem to have disappeared into the ether. Good luck searching for the painting instructions you seek.

    Your yellow looks good on the underside of the wing. Yellow is translucent, so a gray or light blue works as base for it.
  22. Canute
    What adhesive do you use?
  23. Canute
    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.
  24. Canute
    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?

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.
