Trap him & eat it. No, better yet, just bury the little rodent. Tried 'skrat once, a swamp delicacy along the Delaware. Too greasy for even a fighter pilot's ( or a Marine's) unrefined palate. Just shoot the varmints and be done with the lot!

All the best with your recoveries. (Is that a word?) I feel that with the skills needed to make planks back when SOS was built, the planking would be coarse enough to be seen, even though it was painted. So, I'm with you on this one, Dave.

Nice tip on the Tamiya paints, Bob. The few remaining brick and mortar hobby shops out this way do stock it, along with Vallejo paints. Many of my old solvent paints are going away, so I'm doing more water based paints. Keep filling the bag of tricks, but gotta clean out some of the old stuff.

Brian, you could search on the card websites. They seem to go for that scale, along with 1/250 scale.

Mark, thanks. Sort of figured there had to be outside influence for some naval commanders, too. Most of my study has been on the Brown Water ships along the Mississippi, which were novel with the Army built and run City class ships. I've also heard it called the "War between the States", "War of Northern Aggression" and "War of Southern Arrogance". I usually call it the American Civil War or ACW for a quick reference.

Well done, Ken. A great idea to make those rings look consistent.

Brian, don't do too many at one sitting. It will take a little longer, but you won't go cross-eyed. I did that when I built some N Scale houses with double hung windows with all the sashes and sills. About seven pieces, counting the glazing, for a window about a half inch tall. And then I put shades in some of the windows.

A company named Archer Transfers http://www.archertransfers.com/index.html makes rivet decals in many sizes/scales, but you'd need to seal the wood where you intend to place them. You can use Pledge with Future for the sealing. It's an acrylic floor finish.

Very well done on the companionway. Love the hasp! Hope the only thing hurt was some feelings. May make it hard to get the clans to agree to much after that.

Today I made a Light (box) Stand
Canute replied to AON's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I was about to unload a light table my Admiral has, laying around the basement. Once upon a time she was a graphic artist in NYC. Having seen it's usefulness here, it won't be going out in the trash. Thanks for the tip. -
Wow, I usually have a good eye for alignment, but I can't see it. Beeyootiful work, Grant. Keep on inspiring the crew.

frolick and Wayne, both sayings were and are true. It is how we react after that first contact that decides who wins or loses. Always have a Plan B and a Plan C and... Just look at WW II in Europe with, as I think it was Churchill, calls the Battle of the Beams between the RAF and Luftwaffe with the radar/night fighter/night bombing battle. Or in the Pacific, Japanese night optics versus Allied shipborne radar.

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.
