    Greg, the aftermarket details really give Yamato some added pop. And the turned brass barrels look super. Looking good.
  2. Canute
    Steve, I have one of these in my stash, so I'll follow along to see how this goes together. Your build is progressing nicely.

    Jack, thanks for your support with ME. I'll deal with that tomorrow. Zoltan, thanks. I kind of figured it out when I heard the "snap" of my strake. I think the basswood was pretty well dried out, since I have a very dry basement shop. The first few strakes were bent with the water technique, so I may go back to it.

    Jesse, a belated Happy Birthday, brother! You've accomplished some very good work.

    Sliding into a seat, with my popcorn in hand. Looks very interesting, Cap'n Bob.

    David, pretty slick, using Sulfuric Acid for that.

    Thank you all. I am having a fitful restart. Tried the blow dryer bending techniques and promptly broke the wood. In 2 places. Will need to trace the part onto some of the excess or else I will be requesting a new part from the fine folks at Model Expo.

    Thanks for sharing, Eric. My condolences.

    Maybe the multi-part hull was to make it fit into a somewhat smaller box. The 1/350 scale Essex class ships had separate bow pieces, so getting the hull straight was a concern for the builder.

    Welcome back. Nice job blackening the buffer boom.
  11. Canute
    Well done, mate.

    DR, I'd give you a New York minute to get moving. May not use the Chrome Horn, but I'll be flying close formation. Enjoy the trip. Jesse, sorry about hijacking your thread.
  13. Canute
    DR, you will lose your mind walking into Freetime. Aftermarket for many kits. Kits from places I didn't know made kits. It's a good thing it's about 3 hours from me or I'd go broke there. :D

    Greg, what color will the treadplate get painted? I have a 1/700 Mogami in the stash and the painting instructions are less than stellar. Lucky they reference Tamiya colors. No Model Master or Vallejo cites in their instructions.
  15. Canute
    Good technique, Jesse. Glad to hear you're OK after the Hurricane. I was up in the Hampton/Norfolk area last week and the local news shows were reporting on the flooding and devastation in eastern NC. The Tar Heel State took a massive hit.

    You might check out Loose Cannon. They do/did an HMS Furious from 1917/1918. Two separate decks with "taxiways" from the aft platform to the forward one. Power projection in it's infancy.

    How does sprue work for those little linkages from the fret to the part?
  18. Canute
    Think I'll follow along, too, Dave. I have an MS version in the stash, so hope to pick up some tips along the way.
  19. Canute
    Carl, it could be worse. You might be working in 1/700 scale, bending radars to shape.
  20. Canute
    Beautiful work, Bob. Two thumbs up!
  21. Canute
    Greg, count me in as you tackle this beast. Your handling of PE is superb. Build on!
  22. Canute
    Take a look at the Model Master line from Testors. They have enamels and acrylics and should have a number of these shades. And don't forget Vallejo and Tamiya. They are acrylics in these shades, although some of the Tamiya may be voc based.
  23. Canute
    Nicely done, Grant. Smooth finish and the stain looks great. I did a cherry blank with a scraper and really liked how smooth it made the wood.
  24. Canute
    Nice blending of colo(u)rs on your decking. Making plastic look like real wood is an art.
  25. Canute
    Greg, all I can say is WOW. She's a beauty.

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.
