    I remember building the plastic kit back then; forget the brand.
  2. Canute
    Four's in!

    Eric, that's a beautiful outdoor room. Well done!

    The steering gear looks like the driver needed to be able to walk, chew bubblegum and pat his tummy. And it'd rapidly running out of space for much of anything. Very nicely done, Craig. 👍

    Well done, once again Rob. You're a master. Gary, Micro Scale makes a liquid decal film to use on these old decals. Coat and let dry. If they're discolored, I'd get new decals.

    Hmm, looks like a Steve Martin comedy sketch. 😁 Keep on building.

    Turned out great, Chris. Appropriately spindly. 👍

    Interesting beast, Craig. Looking forward to this build.

    Beautiful work, Rob. really nice.👍 Take notes as you work. A couple of highly respected modelers I know stress that in their presentations. Keep a pack of stick-it notes handy as you work. Compile them in a full size notebook.

    Sorta like my grandparents home in Garfield. I remember the banging steam heat lines, before they updated the systems. Good luck with this extensive remodel.

    Very well done, Scott. Had a flashback to a similar windup tank I had as a 7 year old.👍

    Do you have the URL for that Canadian company? That's a fine looking cigarette machine. 😃

    Similar product to EGs is Canopy Cemrnt. The RC aircraft folks developed it to hold their canopies on. I've used it to bond brass parts to plastic. Holds up to variations in temperature for the dissimilar materials.

    That yellow covered nicely.

    I like DAWN dishwashing liquid on plastic and resin parts. After washing you can wear cotton gloves to keep finger oils off. For resins, I wipe them down with alcohol prep pads before priming. And some resins may need a second washing to get the mold release really cleaned off.

    Amen to that, Jack!

    Eric, thanks for the generous offer. I travel with several other fellas and I don't know if they can take the extra time.
  18. Canute
    She looks great in the pond. When are the speed trials? 😄
  19. Canute
    Good looking update to your engine, Rob.

    We 2 hopped to Collinsville. Stopped in Paducah, then railfanned southern Illinois the next day. A few different rilroads, but just one active while we were there. Did see one CN train flying north in Du Quoin.

    Another fine build, Javlin. Well done!
  22. Canute
    Great job with the breads and pizza. Bellisimo! And so right about having an outdoor oven. I shared your weather over the weekend. I was on the Illinois side in Collinsville at a Railroad Prtotype Modelers meet. 3D printing is the wave of the future, especially for the one off items. Your breads look excellent. Bet they taste great, too.
  23. Canute
    Finishing supplies and clamps are your friends on this build, eh? Well, it wouldn't be fun without some challenges.
  24. Canute
    Well done spraying the yellow. It and the red shades are the worst to spray.
  25. Canute
    They also supply tools for working with PE.

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.
