    How visible is the finished area? Main decks (very visible), I'll bet you redo with appropriate woods. Lower down, probably leave it. But, like Patrick said, wait for that clear head before you do anything. Hope that beer was good and you let your problem cogitate in the ol brain juices. However you decide will be the correct one.

    Some of the hobby primers, such as Tamiya, go on pretty thin. They are formulated with finer pigments, to keep them lighter. And it comes in rattle cans, too. Here in the US we also have Scalecoat, which is solvent based. It comes in rattle cans, too. It's a finely pigmented lacquer base. You'd have to find a local shop catering to model railroaders for Scalecoat. Many shops don't stock it, since mostly the hard core prototype modelers use it. I like it because the final colors dry to a gloss. Very helpful for decaling.

    Tom,s is still in business. Different owner.

    Elijah, I'd like to follow along, too. It's good to encourage our younger brethren in this hobby. You're off to a good start.

    Same for me. R.I.P. USS Thresher

    Dan, great to read your logs again. Glad your treatments are done. I'll follow along, too.
  7. Canute
    Hang in there with your build, Jesse. You have a lot of friends with you in their thoughts and prayers.
  8. Canute
    Sounds good, Len. The American Civil War is an area of interest to me. I have one of these in my stash, too.
  9. Canute
    Well done, Len. Looks like she was worked hard.
  10. Canute
    Like the lad says, me too. Interesting semi-kit.

    Elijah, your backdrop works just fine. In fact, it blocks out distractions and your closeups are excellent. Very nice work.
  12. Canute
    Nice work on the base. Pretty job.
  13. Canute
    Jesse, your health is job one right now. Syren will be there when you're ready. There's a bunch of us thinking about you and praying for your recovery.
  14. Canute
    Well done on your base, Jack. Nifty little diorama. I'll have to keep that in mind. Like Mark said, didn't know you can get miniature seashells.
  15. Canute
    Nicely done Frank. And good clear explanations, too. Like Mark says, that table is interesting.
  16. Canute
    Dan, I'll tag along, too. You might check the Shapeways folks. The warships guys have done up some of the early US dreadnoughts with those lattice masts. Don't know if any liner folks have done up drawings for the Shapeways folks to print up, but I've seen those battleship lattice masts and they are sweet.

    Len, "borrowing" stuff from your Grandkids? Tsk, tsk. But they do look good and the bell looks OK
  18. Canute
    Dan, welcome. Will be interested in seeing your Egyptian build.
  19. Canute
    Here in the US, we call them T nuts. A good, sturdy mount you've made, Chris. Nice job, so far.
  20. Canute
    Len, the lighting effects look outstanding. Well done.
  21. Canute
    Doug and crew, put some fine sandpaper on the underside if your steel ruler to keep it from shifting. I work some in styrene and had a bit of a time keeping cuts straight before I wised up.
  22. Canute
    Nice, Frank. I'll slide into the second row and follow your excellent work.
  23. Canute
    Bug, very nicely done. You have paid honor to a fine gentleman. Thank you for all your work.
  24. Canute
    As long as you're not gluing parts to yerself, mate. Acetone is not good for your longevity.
  25. Canute
    DR, I'd like to follow along, too. And good luck chasing down some torpedoes. They're as scarce as hen's teeth. I do like the Flak 38 version. The Prinz Eugen site has a section on these "boots": http://www.prinzeugen.com/SBOATIND.htm

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.
