    Magnification and light are the keys. Although some fine tweezers and cutting tools are also helpful. Age and decreasing physical abilities are unfortunate limiters.

    Ditto. It's been a while. But, we are patient. 😄

    Great for gluing PE to plastic and resin or wood to plastic or resin, too.
  4. Canute
    Nicely done. Congrats. 👍

    I use tape when working on alignment issues, but some parts are OK to use clamps. All depends on what the situation requires. And I'm glad to see a model of the Big E here. She was a mainstay for the US Navy. She should have been preserved after the war.

    Slog, I have a similar Hakko and really like it. I may need to acquire that particular tip, tho. I really like this solder station; the temp settings are spot on.

    Front "office" looks good.
  8. Canute
    What's your rig for doing this fine soldering? Those guns turned very nice.

    Your build is coming along nicely. 👍 USAF F-4s had a gray cockpit with black instrument bezels and control panels. The cockpits were pretty beat up, with flight crews and maintenance folks walking on many panels. For night flyers, we taped over a lot of the dings, because of the stray white light points interfering with our night vision. Night lighting was red.

    Dan, some do; others could say the real deal.😄👍

    Good start, Grant. Scenery happens via multi layers. 👍

    Very well done, Javlin. 👍

    FineMolds makes some nice kits. Looking forward to following these builds.

    May get lucky enough to see a launch by SpaceX or one of the other commercial launch providers. I saw one last January from Cocoa Beach.

    Mike, that canister looking ordnance may be a smoke float/marker dropped to show where the sub was

    Nicely done, Harry. He turned out very well. 👍

    If you can, take a tour of the Cape. There is a lot going on there.
  18. Canute
    Coming along nicely, Andrew.

    Another great build, Greg.Well done. 👍
  20. Canute
    Always wanted to build one, so I'll tag along for this ride.
  21. Canute
    I'm in for this one, too, Chris.
  22. Canute
    If so , it looks like a vacu-form with a large flange to cut off.
  23. Canute
    I hear ya. Good luck.
  24. Canute
    Coming along nicely, Rob.

    Great plan. Hope the wildlife stays away. We have to grow inside a stockade to keep the deer and rabbits away.

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.
