    Very intriguing build, Michael. What is the ducket 's purpose. It looks like a smaller version of the observation position on a bay window caboose/van. Excellent work.
  2. Canute
    I'm in. Interesting work with this styrene.
  3. Canute
    The lacquer thinner doesn't affect the styrene or do you remove it quickly?
  4. Canute
    Nicely done, Dan. These early container ships are hard to find good data for accurate modeling.

    Eric, glad to read you've recovered. And starting this build. I'm in. I've been eyeing this kit, but wanted to see a build before I pulled the trigger.
  6. Canute
    You are chock full of surprises. I am in!

    Nice increment with the external pieces. Look good. 😁 This isn't a race, brother. We appreciate what you can do, despite feeling as you do.

    Very nice. 👍😊 Yes, Champ was another line for model railroad decals. The usual story, owners retired, no one to keep the line going. It was bought out, but just to sell off remaining decal sets. 😞

    Classy looking markings, settling in nicely. I used to have a bottle of Champ setting solution. Champ had some of the thickest decals out there. Walthers was a close second. Definitely need a range of solutions for your situations.

    Looks just like the work done stretching the P-80 into the T-33. Very nice job with your paint job, Craig. The finishes will be great.

    Grant, I plan to try these out. And Jack thanks, I've used some Hunterline stains and like them. They're about as good as the old Floquil stains. I miss their Driftwood stain, but there are suitable substitutes available.

    Super job, Kevin. The lighting effects make this pop.
  13. Canute
    I think you've got the coloring on these boards down nicely. And the knots make it even better. Looks just like wood that's been out in the weather a long time. 👍 I'm going to try your technique on a wood flat car deck I have. Once upon a time there was a company, at least here in the US, that made a weathering solution that replicated this coloring, but he closed up shop a while back, with no replacement. I'll continue my search for a suitable substitute stain.

    Kind of tough to see the ball in the race for those, eh? I just make jet whooshing sounds, while doing aileron rolls. 😉
  15. Canute
    Cripes, I thought you'd be finished before I signed on for this little adventure. Looking good.
  16. Canute
    Well done. And yes, the old Airfix decals were a chore applying. This one looks great.
  17. Canute
    I'm in, too.

    Craig, it does look like a 3D print. They removed the print rafts to fit into less space, the reviewer said. The resin used looks good.
  19. Canute
    Nice job on this one. Looking good.
  20. Canute
    Informally called a Loach. Had something to do with the identifier.
  21. Canute
    Lots of PE, resin and 3D in that. I'm in on this one.
  22. Canute
    Nice collection. Their callsign in Viet Nam was Nimrod. And they worked nights along the Ho Chi Minh trail.
  23. Canute
    Well done on the prop and spinner.
  24. Canute
    Ouch. Most unlucky.
  25. Canute
    I think you'd bring home ribbons for those 3. Nicely done.

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.
