    Did they have anti-glare panels on the engine sides facing the cockpit? I used to know, but haven't been in those books in eons.

    That point on the coast has had few hurricane landfalls, but....

    Glen, you've got a future in adding scenery to model railroads. 😄 Those cattle turned out well. You keep parading them around and somebody will think you were from Fort Worth. MMM, nice juicy burger. 😁

    All too true Craig. We had barrier islands and pre-Labor Day crowds. Local EM wouldn't move their populations early until after that holiday. Skating on thin ice, they were.

    Hopefully, y'all are outside the inundation zones. When I worked emergency management, there were many who encroached these zones and took damage from the storms. They'd come to us looking for the "FEMA insurance" because they didn't want to use their homeowner policies. That might have been true40 years ago, but laws changed and FEMA could only pay your deductible after that. I think that may be the nub of the problems in Hawaii, unfortunately.

    Nicely done, OC. A short primer on figure painting.👍

    I believe it was off the west coast of Sicily

    Coming along nicely, Glen. Better get ox #1, up on the parapet wall, in the game or the Sicilians/Syracusans are going to be roasting beef for dinner. 😁

    The Hunterline Driftwood stain gives your wood pieces a worn, well used look. And the stain is absorbed differently in each strip of wood, to give you a little more dissimilarity.

    Very nice, Andrew. And your sea looks spot on. 👍

    I'm in, Rob. Back in days of yore, I watched a P-38, painted up as Tommy McGuire's "Pudge" fly into McGuire AFB, NJ. It was mounted flyable on a display in front of the passenger terminal. Every few years they take it down, tow it to a small hangar and clean it up. They also fire it up, but don't taxi or fly it. Unfortunately, no photos. 😞

    Nicely done, Scott. Great modeling.

    I remember building the plastic kit back then; forget the brand.
  14. Canute
    Four's in!

    Eric, that's a beautiful outdoor room. Well done!

    The steering gear looks like the driver needed to be able to walk, chew bubblegum and pat his tummy. And it'd rapidly running out of space for much of anything. Very nicely done, Craig. 👍

    Well done, once again Rob. You're a master. Gary, Micro Scale makes a liquid decal film to use on these old decals. Coat and let dry. If they're discolored, I'd get new decals.

    Hmm, looks like a Steve Martin comedy sketch. 😁 Keep on building.

    Turned out great, Chris. Appropriately spindly. 👍
  20. Canute
    Interesting beast, Craig. Looking forward to this build.
  21. Canute
    Beautiful work, Rob. really nice.👍 Take notes as you work. A couple of highly respected modelers I know stress that in their presentations. Keep a pack of stick-it notes handy as you work. Compile them in a full size notebook.

    Sorta like my grandparents home in Garfield. I remember the banging steam heat lines, before they updated the systems. Good luck with this extensive remodel.
  23. Canute
    Very well done, Scott. Had a flashback to a similar windup tank I had as a 7 year old.👍
  24. Canute
    Do you have the URL for that Canadian company? That's a fine looking cigarette machine. 😃

    Similar product to EGs is Canopy Cemrnt. The RC aircraft folks developed it to hold their canopies on. I've used it to bond brass parts to plastic. Holds up to variations in temperature for the dissimilar materials.

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.
