    Wow, what an improvement, Craig. The metal spokes will look great. Are you going to use metallic paints for the new chrome?
  2. 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,

    Thought that went without saying.😉 It is impressive work to date.👍
  4. Canute
    Looks good so far, Rob.
  5. 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.
  6. Canute
    Nicce, Rod. Credible Ubon jet.
  7. 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.
  8. Canute
    Very well done on your clutter, Grant. Gives a busy "worked in" look.
  9. Canute
    Having followed several of your recent builds, I'm signing on to observe a master at work.

    Great to see you've got your mojo back, OC. Looks like a real tussle coming up.
  11. Canute
    Very good looking a/c, Craig. She's a beauty. 👍
  12. Canute
    Well done, Javlin.

    Magnification and light are the keys. Although some fine tweezers and cutting tools are also helpful. Age and decreasing physical abilities are unfortunate limiters.
  14. Canute
    Ditto. It's been a while. But, we are patient. 😄
  15. Canute
    Great for gluing PE to plastic and resin or wood to plastic or resin, too.
  16. Canute
    Nicely done. Congrats. 👍

    I use tape when working on alignment issues, but some parts are OK to use clamps. All depends on what the situation requires. And I'm glad to see a model of the Big E here. She was a mainstay for the US Navy. She should have been preserved after the war.

    Slog, I have a similar Hakko and really like it. I may need to acquire that particular tip, tho. I really like this solder station; the temp settings are spot on.
  19. Canute
    Front "office" looks good.
  20. Canute
    What's your rig for doing this fine soldering? Those guns turned very nice.
  21. Canute
    Your build is coming along nicely. 👍 USAF F-4s had a gray cockpit with black instrument bezels and control panels. The cockpits were pretty beat up, with flight crews and maintenance folks walking on many panels. For night flyers, we taped over a lot of the dings, because of the stray white light points interfering with our night vision. Night lighting was red.
  22. Canute
    Dan, some do; others could say the real deal.😄👍
  23. Canute
    Good start, Grant. Scenery happens via multi layers. 👍
  24. Canute
    Very well done, Javlin. 👍
  25. Canute
    FineMolds makes some nice kits. Looking forward to following these builds.

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.
