    Oh tay, 'panky.

    The relative simplicity of our auto engines back then. Your engine looks good, Gary.

    The splotches with some small sponges, apply randomly. Very, very dilute black of brown India ink in isopropol alcohol. Brush top to bottom, let dry, then add next coat. Repeat until the wash is dark enough for your eye. Careful with acrylic paints, they might run. Spray Dullcoat or similar to seal the paint before applying this wash. You may want to look into weathering pastels. We have a brand on this side of the pond called Pan Pastels. They sell several sets of colors and their whole range is available as individual colors.

    Best of luck with this build, Bob. Kurt's gonna get busy soon.

    Jawohl, Admiral. I'll have us rated Experten by a week after the launch. 😁

    Well done, Rod. That's a very creditable Tiger Moth, despite the materials used by the manufacturer.

    Tamiya and AK interactive make gun metal paints. I think they are acrylics. And if you can find it, Testors makes an enamel gun metal. So you have options for the Billy.

    Like the fact you're including interiors from the start. My club had to retrofit the interiors of some buildings, mainly stores. Although, we do have a firehouse responding as a later alarm for a simulated fire across the tracks from the depot. Its fun when you can tell a story. Look forward to your continuation of your railroad.

    Two coaches to guide you. Very nice. 😉👍

    Nicely done, Daniele. New Airfix makes some nice kits, for sure.

    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. 😄
  16. Canute
    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.
  18. Canute
    Well done, Phil. I think you've got this card modeling gene now.👍
  19. Canute
    Nice build, so far. Have a happy holiday vacation. Hope your pooch weathers the surgery.
  20. Canute
    Well done on the build. Working boats are always interesting builds.👍
  21. Canute
    Well done. Decals are excellent. 👍
  22. Canute
    Your Arado looks excellent, Ian.👍
  23. Canute
    Go for it, Eric. Good logic for doing it.
  24. Canute
    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.
  25. Canute
    I think you've successfully captured the look of that hand-painted letter board. 👍

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.
