    Well done, Javlin.

    Piece of cake (for you). Nice little jewel, Greg.👍

    Don't forget rule #1, mates: Happy wife, happy life! Else you'll be living in a foxhole or doghouse.

    Well, I've heard the nickname for the F-35 is Battle Penguin. The wall is superb. Bring on the Legions.

    Great steer, Craig.

    Thankfully the trailers were cleaner graffiti wise back in the 50s. Dirty for sure by maybe only some chalk marks for routing in a yard. And you got the scale correct, Dennis. A lot of the brake plumbing isn't modeled in this scale, thankfully. Get the number of axles correctly positioned and get the landing gear type close enough. The bodies are what we normally see. I'm looking at 24 to 32 foot trailers by Fruehauf and Trail Mobile. Mostly box bodies, but some flats and open top boxes, too.

    Folks back home were doing their bit living with rationing. My Mom and aunts told their tales to us Baby Boom kids.

    I'm in, too, Denis. I've developed an interest in these trailers as train loads. Tying these things down to flat cars evolved pretty rapidly from a mass of chains and come-alongs to the moveable hitches on the flats. Your build is a nice size reference for me.

    That turned out well.

    There are HO (I/87) scale turnbuckles in plastic. I've used them with 10 pound monofilament fishing line. #78 drill to core the turnbuckle.

    A large problem with solid fuel rockets is any bumps could create voids in the solid fuel. When the burn gets to that space - boom

    We got into the Space Race in the late 50s. We designed our version of a Mercury capsule and I "volunteered" my sister's doll. Had it fitted with a pressure suit (electrician's tape). Planned to launch with an M-80 someone "acquired". Unfortunately, my sister threw a hissy fit and I had to return the astronaut. We launched the "capsule" but it didn't get very high. The 2x4s may have something to do with the poor thrust.

    Glen, your masonry work turned out well. Very interesting subject, I'll slide in here to watch the build. Hope the recovery of your S.O. is progressing well.

    I read somewhere that the Arados were used as recce birds over the Remagen bridgehead.

    Jeff, it looks like it'll fall down in a strong wind. That shed is beat. Well done.
  16. Canute
    She looks fast. The Italians built some good looking aircraft. Best of luck for this build.

    Rob, I have an old source book on the Luftwaffe and may be able to dig up some codes. Then again, I don't think these jets actually flew combat missions, so the codes would be speculative.
  18. Canute
    Superb work with all the details and "clutter". Very well done. Jack's video steer is spot on. Just make sure you have no openings where you pour or you'll end up repouring the water. Don't ask how I learned that.
  19. Canute
    Wow, what an improvement, Craig. The metal spokes will look great. Are you going to use metallic paints for the new chrome?
  20. Canute
    I'm in, Eric. Be interesting to see your plans, since there apparently was a similar boat out here in western NC on the French Broad River, a tributary of the Tennessee. I've only seen 1 picture of that boat, the Mountain Lily,
  21. Canute
    Thought that went without saying.😉 It is impressive work to date.👍
  22. Canute
    Looks good so far, Rob.
  23. Canute
    Nice, tidy installation, Eric. And as Brian said, having a business standing by their order. Can't wait for you to do up and oven fired, thin crust pizza.
  24. Canute
    Nicce, Rod. Credible Ubon jet.
  25. Canute
    Do you have enough material to pin the joint? Clean up the old glue, insert a pin to line the parts up and reglue.

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.
