    Very nice. Just hope some gull won't mess with the "bird". 😁

    You continue to produce outstanding builds, Rob. This one looks like it's factory fresh. Yes, sometimes you have to pay the price for the better looking models. In the hands of a master, it's well worth it for the eye-candy you produce. Thanks for sharing your work.

    I'm in. What's the wingspan, about 7 feet?
  4. Canute
    It's already looking miserable and cold. And well fed rats. May become a meal for somebody. 😝

    I'll follow, also, Michael. Operable brake gear? I love it. 😄

    Banshee II is coming along nicely, Glen. Working in that scale is no longer an option for me. Arthritis in my hands. I got some of those ants in a load of mulch for the house. Nasty buggers, those fire ants. Took 3 trips from the exterminator to eliminate that Blankety-blank problem. They were heading down the hill towards the neighbors.

    Congrats, Brad. Very well done by you and the club.

    Oh, it's always O-beer- thirty.

    That she has. I've heard the names/words before, but now I know where they go. Thanks a bunch, Toni.

    Well done, Peter. 👍 About the paints, write down your formulae for drop counts, if you mix that way. Put a sticky label on the bottle, with that drop count. 😉

    That scene is well appreciated up here in the normally cool mountain of western North Carolina. We're high 80s/low 30sC today, other parts of the eastern US are well into the 90s/mid 30s. I spent the weekend in northern Alabama. where it was a juicy 96F/35C with high humidity, making for a very bad Heat Index.. The diorama looks great.

    Gary, nice work with all the decals. You might want to use distilled water for decalling. Tap water may have "extra" ingredients that can affect the process. A gallon jug is a dollar or so at your local pharmacy.

    Looks great, Rob. The tank and exhaust polished up beautifully. Sorry about the chain issue; white metal just doesn't seem to be the best choice. The stuff is notoriously brittle. Glad you've overcome that issue.

    Might try vacuuming the keyboard to get any dust and such off the 'board.
  15. Canute
    Cross-eyed yet? 😁
  16. Canute
    No rush, Peter. It's a hobby, not a job. 😄 Understand the creaky back. Occupational hazard of a former job for me.
  17. Canute
    Good looking SLUF, Phil. 👍
  18. Canute
    Good save on the signage.She's looking good. 👍
  19. Canute
    Excellent job on your paddlewheel.
  20. Canute
    Like John said, the bow fender looks very good. Used tires in N scale? Small O rings could fill the bill. I don't know if you can get separate tires in N. I need to consult my N gurus, probably tomorrow. Your dicing of the styrene tubing should work. Very nice progress to date. 😄

    Ras, you may want to look at Tamiya German Gray, a Gunship Gray or possibly NATO Black. They're more of a charcoal gray, so you don't suck all the light out of your object.
  22. Canute
    Congratulations on a job well done. 👍
  23. Canute
    Phil, that color is pretty close to the belly color on most Viet Nam era jungle camo paint jobs, It's too light for the later Ghost Gray schemes, though. Coming along nicely.
  24. Canute
    This era of ships is one I keep coming back to for study. The blockade runners are ones I know little about. Lead on, Glen.😄
  25. Canute
    Nicely done, Papa.

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.
