Costa Passenger Coach by yvesvidal - OcCre - 1/32
Canute replied to yvesvidal's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Nice work on the Second Class compartment. 😄 That Gator Glue is a good product. It's really good for gluing dissimilar materials together. It retains flexibility after it sets, unlike CA which becomes brittle. -
very well done, Chris. I look forward to you next project, wherever it goes. 😄

Nice to help the family realize the completion of a project their father started. And you'll have the MSW crew following along. 👍

Your supposition of the aircraft is spot on, Peter. Double-check the stars and bars insignia. I think they were using a red outline in that time frame, in lieu of the red dot in the center of the star. Red dot could have been misconstrued as a Japanese himomaru aka "meatball".

It's a real beauty, Yves. 👍 -
Chris, have you seen Pan Pastels: https://modelingcolors.com/ They're a powder you apply with a variety of tools, but they'll stay in place a little better than chalks.

I think it's the Latin influence. I'm half Italian and I also like the red. Progressing nicely, Yves. -
Spitfire Mk.Ia by davec - FINISHED - Kotare - 1/32 - PLASTIC
Canute replied to davec's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Well done, Dave. You did a great job on this iconic aircraft.👍 -
Really like your build, Bob. 👍 A couple of items for your painting and staining toolbox: Basswood tends to stain blotchy, so use some Minwax conditioner before staining that wood. Read the instructions on the can for timing issues. Stain before gluing. The glues we use seal the wood, so staining post gluing doesn't work well. Like Chuck says, test before doing whatever on the build.

Looks good. You may want to double check where the crash netting sets up. Your recovery flight deck looks like the whole air wing is positioned on deck. The launching configuration deck looks much better.

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.
