    3D prints are the wave of the future. Looks very good.👍

    A few drops of India ink in iso alcohol makes a good wash for dirting up your models. It will collect in any panel lines. It's not as concentrated as the Tamiya washes.

    Well done. Very nice build.

    Nicely done, Alan. I've never attempted figures like these, out side of a few HO (1:87) scale figures in a passenger car.

    very nice recovery on the wingtips. Well done.

    The St Louis Railroad Prototype Modelers meet is in Collinsville again this year. 25 and 26 July. It's a big meeting; with 900 attendees last year,The 3D print stuff is mind boggling, many vendors. Lots of regular vendors, too. And models by the mile. Think about it.

      I am. It's 2 days from western NC, but we do some railfanning in southern Illinois.

      You bet. Hope this works out.

    Excellent writeup on building/growing your layout. 👍 Dead rail is the thing for the garden railway crowd. Our club garden setup is mostly that nowadays, with a few live steamers in the mix, too. Batteries need to shrink a lot for HO, but I can see the O scale guys doing it. Not sure about the tin-plate folks. I need to talk to my American Flyer guy.

    Fasttracks owns Mt Albert. Great products.

    Really like this scene. And your shelf on the fascia. Very important for operations. Having to put car cards on the tracks while switching is very distracting. Looks very good.

    Superb job, Chris.👍

    I don't think any of the early ASW aircraft were particularly "alluring". AD-5W and S-2F anyone?
  12. Canute
    Well done. mate.👍
  13. Canute
    Nicely done. Excellent presentation of an uncommon model. 👍

    Intimidating warrior, Alan. Very nice work. I look forward to your next figure.

    I'm with Richard's vote. The tape is quicker to lay out, but it will dry out and curl (been there). Your module looks great.
  16. Canute
    That rates a double thumbs up from this old aviator. 👍👍

    As a former Tiger squadron member, I think your tiger skin turned out well. Looks good to me. 👍
  18. Canute
    Nicely done.

    Hope you've got a good sea anchor. Some rabbit holes will get you turned about and lost for days. Better have some bread crumbs, Hansel! 😁

    Mike, how old is the kit? Age and thinness of the plastic could make for sporting builds, as does the lack of internal pins to square up parts in many limited run kits.You're doing commendable work here.👍

    I like the #2 base, with a bit of green under the bonsai base. Gives an impression of the tree growing out of the base. My 2 cents. 😄
  22. Canute
    As a once Jersey man, I can appreciate that.😉
  23. Canute
    May have to pull some all-nighters. 😁
  24. Canute
    Lots of details in this kit. A new manufacturer or a subset of an older company looking to enter the armor market.
  25. Canute
    Excellent work. The family should be proud.

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.
