Model Shipway Ratline tool
Canute replied to fnkershner's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Yes, the white glues dry to a clear translucency. The yellow carpenter's glues will definitely leave a yellow/tan coloration. -
Fokker Dr.I by Torbogdan - FINISHED - Model Airways
Canute replied to Torbogdan's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Nicely done. Like your map base, too. -
Jan, I checked my Profile Morskie and Warship Profile booklets and both show the protuberance on the bow in the few post commissioning photos they have of the bow. The drawings also show it. I also have the STM version of De Ruyter, for a someday build.

Go for the wood glue. It has some working time to allow you to reposition parts. Super glues set up quick, so you have to have parts set where they need to be. I presume you don't have a home products type store with things for do it yourself kinds of projects near your home?

What beautiful works of art, Jim. Always a treat. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting technique using pre-shading, Greg. Looking forward to see how it turns out in this scale.

Scott, the PE is already enhancing your build. Don't rush; make sure you put it where it needs to be. Awaiting your next paint session.

The gloss black is the recommended undercoat/primer for ALCLAD2 lacquer paint for a lot of their metallic paints, if you plan on buffing out the metal paint. If spraying their stainless steel paints, the recommendation is a dark gray gloss.

For all of us, this is a site with German radar gear: http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNGER_Radar.php This is part of the NavWeaps website, so prowl around, It covers from WW1 to the present, so steel naval ship builder will have a lot to peruse.

1/72 ADGZ M35 funkwagen armoured car. FINISHED
Canute replied to Baker's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Nice work, Patrick. Short run kits seem to have a little more than the usual fixes required. You handle them well. Have you seen these Archer transfers: http://www.archertransfers.com/index.html -
Jim, that last aurora picture captures the ones I saw flying over to Scotland once upon a time. Very nice work.

Nice crisp work on the anchors and buoys. The flag looks nicely natural. And your bench looks like my bench, too. Ops normal.

Derek, the parts really need a washing to get any surface dirt off. There are oils on the parts from the casting blocks. And I would lightly prime the metal before painting.

What brand of #11 blades do you use
Canute replied to bigcreekdad's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I switched to surgical blades a while back and I really like them. Got a few handles to keep from swapping the common types. Of the hobby blades, Excel over Xacto, better grade of steel for a bit longer edge. I've taken to stropping all my blades every few cuts to keep a keen edge. -
Mike, well done on both the ship and it's display. And that was a first class dedication to Joel. He's definitely missed.

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.
