F4U-1A Corsair by DocRob - FINISHED - Tamiya - 1/32
Canute replied to DocRob's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Works great in Rob's scale of 1/32. What happens in the smaller ones? I suppose there are 1/48 stencils for the national markings, but the neat fine print markings, like to fueling and weapons racks are impossibly tiny.. I salute the fine work done on this model. 👍 -

Those painted on stencils are slick. They beat water slide decals. You say only 1/32? Someday they might show up in 1/48 (I hope). -
Camel by RGL - FINISHED - Machinen Krieger - 1/20
Canute replied to RGL's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Well done, Greg. Something different, for sure. I've seen them in on-line catalogs, but never followed a build. -
I look at the Wrights as the first systems engineers, melding airframe and powerplant design, doing their flight testing and trying to sell their designs. One other oddity was they worked with wing warping to turn versus the later development of ailerons. I think Glenn Curtis was the aileron inventor or his aircraft made the early use of ailerons.

Paint for representing galvanized metal
Canute replied to Canute's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Gentlemen, thanks for your replies. This is supposed to be a boxcar roof, slathered with car cement (asphalatum) or paint and the paint failing due to the environment (soot/cinders/dust, etc) I think daubing or spraying a steel paint on the spots for worn out paint, with rust in a few spots, will be appropriate. -
Don't think this is a ship model worthy topic, but I need to paint some surfaces as galvanized steel. Opinions are as varied as the modelers I ask locally, albeit the actual model builders are much less than the folks asked. Anyway, what would you describe the shade as? I've used light blue gray on structures for freshly constructed corrugated metal, but the galvanized I'm interested in is the bare metal exposed by failing paint. I've seen light grays, fresh steel and dark grays. Any ideas, forum mates?

Gonna be a heck of a diorama, Greg. Can't wait.

Those are some nice 3D decals. Can't wait to see them in a build. -
1936 Rolls Royce Phantom III by CDW - Revell - 1:16 scale
Canute replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Turning the sow's ear into a silk purse. Those old kits really make us appreciate all the new stuff. I've got an early plastic freight car kit that I've been doodling with for probably 4 years. Just researching and making mods, turning it into a more correct representation. -

Nice job on your Dr1 -

That's were the instrument pilot sits. Oops, they didn't have much more than a compass and airspeed back then. Sorry, the canvas over the rear seat just deserved that. Old WSO mentality got me. -

My train club started opening as a Black Friday refuge. And we get some nice crowds. 😉 Who doesn't like looking at well displayed trains. The pubs in town are pretty crowded right now, with the Thanksgiving crowds.

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.
