    Hand buffing isn't cutting it? Hmm, try running the Dremel at its slowest speed?

    I'm in on this, Denis. Yes, they designed the A-10 around the GAU-8 30mm cannon. The cannon is in the center-line of the fuselage; the nose gear is offset. Lots of well thought out defensive features, too.

    Sorry to read about Sunny's demise. Pups become a part of our family and the loss of one hurts. The shipyard should get your mind off this, Jack.

    Allan and EG, I watched that video and almost cried when the "bird" caught fire. There's a lake near Eielson AFB, near Fairbanks, AK with a B-29/50 in it. Or at least it was, back in the mid 90s, when I was on temporary duty up there.

    That would be a cool tribute, Allan. Greenamyer was a hero of mine.

    You have any Cook Outs? Grilled burgers with fresh ingredients. Made to order, so they are slow. .

    If it tastes good, it must be bad for you. I'm with Carl on the Diet stuff. Too many chemicals that aren't good for us. Juices and water for me. With the occasional adult beverage as needed.

    Here in the Southeast, the outlets are Hardee's. Same company. Culver's is better.

    Just catching up, Mario. very nice work! Your cannons turned out well.

    Bull's eye!

    Hmm, I haven't built a tank in forever. 😲

    It's an MRAP ATV with all those goodies. Imagine the Abrams TUSK kit they have. One version is a full interior.

    Yeah, really like a large moving map display. Extremely detailed. Is it a full detailed interior?

    Alclad makes lacquer based metallic paints in several different shades, but it's sprayed on. AK interactive also has a line, Xtreme metal paint, but it also is an airbrush product. I read their how to Here: http://www.ak-masters.com/ak/NEWSMARCH2015/XTREME_METAL.pdf It supports polishing and masking with good results, but it's a spray.

    Well done, Denis. Nice commemoration of a famous plane.

    EG, it's looking good. 👌 You've buffed the paint?

    Waiting with bated breath, EG. Ya know, you could leave it in overall black, apply national markings like the US Navy VX-4 Phantoms at China Lake, the ones with the Playboy logo.

    EG, the primer looks very good. I suspect you may see a few minor blemishes, but you'll overcome them. 👍 I've never attempted a BMF, although I have built up a few plated passenger cars.

    Time in Das Afrika Korps?

    Jeep's looking good, OC. Looks good to go.

    Need some lemonade or, dare I say, iced tea? With the Kink's "Lazing on a sunny afternoon" playing in the background. 😁

    Hydrocal or molding plaster could work, although you need some forms to put them in to keep their shape. Hydrocal dries to a very hard consistency. Molding plaster is very shape-able, when dry.

    Read them twice. Read Dudley Pope about Ramage, too. Authors Stockwin, Lambdin and Bond. Engrossing books. But this log is about a vignette "somewhere in England" and a night-flying Mossie squadron. 👍
  24. Canute
    Well now laddie, get crackin wi th dio!😁

    Edward, thanks for the steer. I've read Cornwell. Good stuff. I'll see if my library system has the Forester books. I devoured the Hornblower series many moons ago.

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.
