    You're on the right track for the horses, OC. The ones across the road are pretty shiny, when they're clean and dry. The cavalrymen had to keep their horses clean and fit, or they'd become infantrymen. 😉 That slight sheen sounds about right. 👍

    Well done, Greg. Big oops.

    That tiny miter box for this razor saw is pretty small. Recommend you screw it down to a larger piece of wood with a pair of flat head screws. Then you can clamp the whole assembly down to your workbench. I think these saws came from the Czech Republic. The aircraft and armor folks have used them for years. I hold/clamp a steel straightedge to a car body and cut against that. Very narrow kerf.

    Rob, I echo your use of these tools. The fine bending tweezers is new to me. I'm putting together an Internet order and those Tamiya tweezers will be at the top of the list.

    Yep, Gator's Grip is good stuff. 👍

    I remember my Mom sitting down to dinner with the chicken feet in her soup bowl and my Dad asking her if she was going to eat them. He was a city boy and fresh chicken was a novelty for him. I chalked it up to trying them once and realizing the feet were best left in the soup pot. 😉

    Superb!

    I'll follow along, too. We'd have car building contests with lots of customization.

    You're making great use of your outdoor kitchen, Eric. And dinner looks great.😃 I still remember going to a shop for roaster chicken, processed right there in the store. Mom got everything except the head of the clucker. A lot of it (neck, back, feet, etc.) went into her chicken soup.

    You may want to contact a sign shop. They use stryene sheets for a lot of their work. We have one just across the street from our club and we've gotten sheets from them. And they may have off cuts/remnants, too.

    Looks like not much if any print artifacts. Excellent print. For sure, 3D printing is revolutionizing the hobby.

    Another outstanding build, Craig. 👍👍

    Wow, nicely done Falcon. 👍 I gave a Lego version to my nephew, once upon a time, for Christmas. We spent the morning putting it together, ignoring all the rest of the goodies he received. And this was 20 years after the original movie.

    Looks like an interesting build, especially as it's short run characteristics. I think your superior skill and cunning will let you turn out an excellent model. 😉

    True, Jack, but both (D&S, C&TS) of these now tourist lines were part of a narrow gauge division of the Rio Grande, until the 60s. I have a few videos of these rotaries in action as tourist action. Impressive tossing of snow.

    Another section of the rabbit hole: D&RGW had 2 rotaries in snow trains of 7 cars. They were based in Chama and Alamosa. Lots of snow in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado.

    Jolle, your details are outstanding and your weathering is superb. I can see why Model Warships and ION gave you the medal. Well done.
  18. Canute
    You can use an external DVD player, connected by a USB cable. But yes, a printed booklet is always welcome.

    Shame about the decals, but your plow and tender look good. The coal pile looks very good.
  20. Canute
    I'll tag along too. Looks like an interesting build.
  21. Canute
    Fantastic build, so far, Jolle.
  22. Canute
    You've turned out another fine piece,
  23. Canute
    Nicely done. 👍

    I'm in, too. My F-4 squadron in Germany had a visit with the Italian AF squadron of the same number, the 22nd. Great deployment, excellent home cooked pasta and an Italian white wine. Tragedy struck the next day when their squadron commander decided to do a departure flyby under the low hanging clouds and took all 4 jets into an Eifel hillside. We were all destroyed by this disaster. A very bad day. R.I.P.

    Sounds like it was more that a basic cataract remove and replace. Good luck with your recovery. Now take two tots of rum and call us in the morning. 👍

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.
