    A stair stepping would look better, like your last picture. You're looking for a nice waterfall in a stream, not Niagara Falls. 😄

    The brass banding on the green barrel looks spot on. The early loco designs for valve gearing are fascinating. Very nice work, Kev.

    Spiffy little flivver.

    Very well done, Andy. That name board is the frosting on the cake. 👍And Happy New Year.

    Hat's off to you, my friend. The dazzle is dazzling. 😄

    Well done Chris. Very nice build.
  7. Canute
    Nice work. 👍 I had a '68 Dodge Charger that I said very similar things about. Had a large hole in the gas tank, draining into the engine.😉

    Not to worry Rob. We'll all be here after the holidays. 😄

    The F-104 had a J-79 engine in it. Similar to the F-4, B-58 and A-5. There were probably others. Loud, but outstanding throttle response.

    The F-104 had a very high wing loading. Went fast as all get out, but don't try to turn very hard. Seems like it took many miles for a 180 degree turn. Bouncing one while flying in Germany, back in the 70s, was a bit of sport for we Phantom Phlyers. Something we turned better than. And it was actually NATO sanctioned, as they were pushing good visual lookout. Can't do that anymore. Merry Christmas. y'all.

    Merry Christmas to you and yours, Andy.

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, OC.

    Alan, that is a very nice selection of aviation books. I may chase down several of them, like the Mosquito raid. Thanks for sharing. Hope you're feeling better soon. Merry Christmas.

    My condolences on your Dad's passing, Brad. And you're spot on about dispositions of your "estate". Nice save on your "holes". Gotta keep the water away from the electrons. 😉

    The 2 tones look better. I really like the low rider.😁
  16. Canute
    Yeah, the modern DCC module (Digital Command Control) adds sounds and lighting controls.

    Maybe a gloss charcoal gray. Tamiya German Gray maybe. The gloss black may subdue the steel.
  18. Canute
    The rare Sicilian longhorini hornusmaximus. 😁
  19. Canute
    What are "allies" for? 😁
  20. Canute
    The word shoehorn comes to mind.😉 A good sealing dust mask is also a good idea when working with dust producing operations on resin parts.
  21. Canute
    I, too, think it's Calvados, a spirit distilled from apples.
  22. Canute
    I'm in too, George. The American Civil War has been a major historical study for me. I'm more of a Brown Water fan, but Kearsarge was one of the ships I built back in the day.
  23. Canute
    Craig, my condolences, too. The drug issue is so pervasive. I see the lives lost or screwed up by this insidious killer where I work at our county courthouse.
  24. Canute
    I know what you mean Andy about smacking the old wallet. Tangent, Moloco and Scale Trains are Kryptonite or me.😉
  25. Canute
    Your case is a fitting display for your Bismarck. Both superb!.

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.
