    Sharpe and the Sergeant in action. 😁

    The boat's coming along nicely, Eric. Good luck with your presentation tomorrow.

    Another maker/retailer of these kinds of tools is UMM-USA https://umm-usa.com/onlinestore/index.php?cPath=21&osCsid=67a8726df77727687a7e33be11c6ecf1 That link takes you to their tool pages. The folding tools are mid page.

    Good purchase. Getting those 90 degree bends is easier with this tool. You may want to scrounge some short lengths of dowels/tubing to use as mandrels for your curved railings amd other rounded metal pieces. 👍

    Glen, nice shot of the corona. We're too far east and had cloud cover ruining the event.

    Flagship had one in development, I believe. With Rusty's passing, that one is on hold.

    Flagship Models had an extensive line of ACW ironclads, primarily in 1/192 scale, but the owner passed away. Luckily for modelers, the line was picked up by Squadron Models. I believe they intend to re-release these kits in the future. 🤞

    What did you say? I can confirm hearing loss and that buzzing in one's ears, called tinnitus, due to 28 years of jet noise. Hearing aids are a daily thing now. Luckily they are rechargeable, versus putting those tiny batteries. All courtesy of my Uncle Sam.

    Looks very good, Jeff. 👍

    My F-100 crewchief buddy confirms that the tail section was all Titanium.
  11. Canute
    That seems to blend in fairly well, Chris.

    Good luck with your maiden flight. The twist in the airframe is there to counter the torque of the motor and prop.

    Looking forward to the start of this build, Craig. This was a big, rugged bird.
  14. Canute
    Nicely done with the orange. It's eight up there with red and yellow for getting good coverage, due to the translucency of those colors,
  15. Canute
    Head movements like that could induce vertigo and or tumble those tiny gyros in our ears. The Sky Blazers was based at Bitburg and were the USAFE (Air Forces Europe) version of the TBirds.

    I don't know, but I do know a fellow who crewed D models in Viet Nam. I'll ask him Thursday when I see him at work. My semi-uneducated guess is it's the heat effects on those sections, since that's where the afterburner/reheat sits. The F-4 had that area sheathed with titanium. Don't know if the Hun used any Ti in the aircraft skin.
  17. Canute
    Sign me up, too.
  18. Canute
    You've definitely turned that sow's ear into a silk purse, Craig. The finish is outstanding. 👍
  19. Canute
    Looking very good, Craig. The tonal variations of the panels worked out very well. And the decals really are stand out. 👍
  20. Canute
    She has very nice lines, Nils. 👍
  21. Canute
    A very nice feat of engineering. 👍
  22. Canute
    Nice work, mcb. The brown you're using looks spot on for the Lackawanna marine boats.
  23. Canute
    Like the color of your web seats much better than the US birds. 👍 Usually ours were faded red.
  24. Canute
    Salute smartly, say Yes, Ma'am and proceed to tap USS Visacard. 😁
  25. Canute
    Nice bargain, Jack. I'll be following. 😄

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.
