    As many wise men and ladies have said, the only dumb question is the one unasked. A build log is the best place to ask questions as you build. Read the FAQs about setting up your log and work away.

    Don't think I've ever had a fresh fruit cake. Usually some store bought brick. Or a re-gifted one. 😝 I've been known to muck down warm Irish soda bread, with currents and those seeds, slathered in butter.

    Coming along nicely, Patrick. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Stay safe.

    C'mon, OC. We're getting into the Christmas cheer a little early is all. Some laced egg nog or some mulled spice wine for you. Virtual party, eh?

    Going to be a beauty.

    Toss a chunk over here, bud. Anyone for ginger snaps?
  7. Canute
    That's the one. Nice. 👍

    Hollywood cranked out a Bogart film during the war titled "Action in the North Atlantic". It was a Murmansk bound convoy. My Father said the Army showed it to them just before the sailed to England in 1943.

    Will this be that PRU Blue scheme? Will look cool. I'm in.

    Very nice, a kit-bash. I'm in, too.

    EG, thanks for the pictures. I have some HO scale ALF close cab pumpers for car loads. They're resin kits. See the picture. Truck is maybe 2 inches long.

    It is, Denis. Seeing the doc on Monday for an exam. Then, get lined up for the procedures in the New Year. Sorry to co-opt the log, OC.

    I'm counting on it, gents. Feel like I've been cranking up the candle power of the lights to do any modeling work. Seems I need a light stand from Yankee Stadium for lighting. Been talking to buds who have had the work and they all rave about the improvements. Some report a yellowish coloration in the bad eye, since they have first one then the other repaired. It's supposed to be a quick procedure. Hope I don''t get saddled with a lot of restrictions.

    Lots of detail in that cockpit. I had to look twice to make sure.

    Good to hear, mate. I'm having some vision issues with cataracts. See my Medway Longboat log for more info. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/26404-medway-longboat-124-scale-by-canute/?tab=comments#comment-777604

    Does your lamp, per chance, have a magnifier? The dimple in the middle, maybe? Or is it a the design feature? Almost never can have too much light.
  17. Canute
    Well, I'm bummed. I have cataracts in both eyes; been there for a few years. Been slowly getting worse and Friday it really was bad. I see the the eye surgeon Monday, so I'm on hiatus for a few weeks (I hope).
  18. Canute
    Looking very good.
  19. Canute
    Cymru(Welsh) dragon looks good. Which frigate is that?
  20. Canute
    Not good, OC. Hope it's a quick bit to get a replacement.
  21. Canute
    Same goes for me, too, mate. Is it a bulb/lamp or is the whole gizmo kaput?
  22. Canute
    Sign me up. I could do up my HO scale version of a 50's pumper - Sylvan Scale Resin. They're going to be flatcar loads.
  23. Canute
    I'm with you there, Lou. Many of the ABDA leaders were pretty wishy-washy and they sent off any who showed signs of opposing their actions. Throwing away good combat forces in fruitless close convoy escorts and similar wasteful missions was downright criminal. Many brave men were lost doing them.

    Kevin, good save on the church. The bell tower looks "right" now. 👍
  25. Canute
    Ekis, the ville has really come alive.. Well done, sir.👍

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.
