    A B-36? The Aluminum Overcast? There's one in Dayton, OH at the AF Museum. There once was a cargo version, the XC-99. It sat parked out in the infield at Kelly AFB, TX. Don't know if it was preserved. Immense aircraft, both of them.
  2. Canute
    Do you drive it or launch it?
  3. Canute
    That's quite a selection. And your choice wold be a cool one. 👍
  4. Canute
    Outstanding technique, Craig. And yes, the flash really makes it pop.

    I'll follow along, Yves. if this car came from NY State, it was probably American Car and Foundry. a conglomeration of 12 or so smaller car builders. Looks like a beautiful build.

    Could applying a liver of sulfur solution be used to darken the brass. It doesn't stain wood.
  7. Canute
    Those are some long-lived trucks. This will be fun with droids.

    Will be an interesting build. Sharp looking car. Chip Foose cars are really attention getters.
  9. Canute
    Well done, Paul.
  10. Canute
    WOW!
  11. Canute
    Here's hoping for a speedy recovery, Nils.

    Nicely done, Alan. Suitably grubby. 😁
  13. Canute
    Very nice. We see and hear them in our creek valley, flying top cover.
  14. Canute
    This should another great build. I'll follow this one, too.
  15. Canute
    I'm in too, with Jack up in the cheap seats.😄

    Another beauty, Eric. I vote for an overturned boat, due to not wanting to have to empty it when it rains. 😄 More of an aside: I spent last weekend in Collinsville, IL, outside St Louis at their annual prototype modeling meet. 3D printing is taking over the model RR hobby. The folks doing it are the more modern modelers, but the products cover a longer time frame. They even do people in the usual model RR scales. One fellow will even laser scan you and make prints of you.

    You might want to look at Pan Pastel weathering powders https://modelingcolors.com/index.html They don't disappear if you clear-coat over them, like some chalks have a tendency to do. They have a wide range of colors and can be bought in various sets for particular uses like a grime set or a rust set. Really like how this pile driver is coming together. 👍
  18. Canute
    Well done on both vessels, Alan. Your seascape really captures the atmosphere.

    Nice rehab of this kit. Looking forward to your redo. We had a guy in the neighborhood where I grew up that had an E in British Racing Green. Sharp color.
  20. Canute
    Nicely done rails and belts.
  21. Canute
    They've got a good plan to attract new modelers. 👍 Just hope the decals are well thought out for easy application. Model builders are getting rare. 🙁

    If Rob is doing the build, I'm in. This car was and is a classic. 👍

    Keith, I'll tag along too. These marine pile drivers were all over the place in any harbor. I know the many miles of piers in New York harbor needed constant replenishment. I know the Lackawanna RR had 2. I spent too much time staring out at the heavy traffic in that harbor from my calculus classes in Hoboken. Who made the HO model?
  24. Canute
    The turret looks like the ones used on their amphibious tank, the PT-76. Yes, very industrial, Greg.
  25. Canute
    You might look at using a dressmaker's pounce wheel. It will make indented lines of rivet/nail/screw heads.

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.
