    Those wheels look the real deal, Craig. 👍

    Looks like you have just the correct amount of tension on those chains. We'll sit here waiting to hear the sprong of the tension. 🤞 And it looks like you have a leg up on your starboard side weathering. 😉

    Amen, Chris. Nice to see your crew deployed around the boat and especially their back stories. We did that in the papermill on our club layout and the visitors liked to read the vignettes.

    You could use a ratter dog, some kind of terrier. Wise move on quitting smoking; I lost several relatives, including my Mom, to smoking. Lula is looking good, but as some have said, it needs some clutter.

    Opened fine on my HP and the links worked well. Running Windows 11 and Adobe Acrobat

    Good luck with your doctor, Keith. Hope it all gets resolved safely. We're rooting (and praying) for you.

    Excellent finish, Craig. Go Speedracer!

    Excellent work on your engine. Looks like it just came out of a shipping crate. 👍

    I vote for Glen's story.

    Blairstown is looking great. You've nailed the Lackawanna paint job. 👍

    Very plausible explanation for the "flying" mast. Blame it on the cat. Maybe my launching of parts into interdemensional space has the wee people snatching them? 🤔 Iron Duke turned out well, Alan. 👍

    That's some big model, Phil. I have a few hours in these beasts, since we converted to them from F-4s. Job was OK, the operating locations were fun spots, usually.

    Turkey ended up with a good number of my unit's F-4Es back in 1991. I missed the delivery flights because I was the trial WSO to go to tanker school at Castle AFB, CA. Later on, when we were in Pisa, supporting the shenanigans in Bosnia, the Turkish F-4s sported our nose art of the Tiger heads. The rest of the markings reflected the Turkish AF. I look forward to seeing your build of one of those Z-M Phantoms. 😁

    Mine, too, OC. A simple and quick procedure, no skin grafts required. We spent more time sitting in the waiting room than the actual procedure. Busy clinic.

    He's a long time supplier to the model rr folks. Supplies a craftsman kind of kit with very good instructions. Lots of cutting and fitting.

    Nice work on your instrument cluster.

    The cardio docs are tracking this via the echocardio tests and some blood test. The test measures an enzyme level that is a signpost for how hard your heart is working. My last test showed my heart improving with the stents and medication I'm taking. 👍 Used to be some serious operation opening the chest and heart to implant a new valve. Nowadays they can go thru an arm or femoral artery. And implant either a mechanical or animal based valve. The medical field has so many options now.

    We used the fences as part of the recognition clues for a test. The very similar MiG-17 had 3 fences per wing. Not too useful if you really encountered them in flight. Who had time to count fences?🤔

    Quite a lineup, Craig. And this was mostly local area modelers?
  20. Canute
    Wow, there's finally a break in the action for me to answer a question or 2. I think the bad valve may have started back in the Dark Ages - mid 1990s - while in the Air Force. It became noticeable about 2018 and my cardiac doctors have been tracking it since then. We changed cardio docs last year, mostly due to some over treatment issues my wife had encountered(shes an RN and not to be trifled with in medical affairs). The new crew was/is much more aggressive in treatment. They believe in their tests. Anyway, the leaky valve is still there, but I have an echo scheduled next month or whenever it is Medicare allows them to do another test. Bureaucrats - phooey. Good luck with your medical processes.

    No comparison there, at all, Greg. Vast improvement.
  22. Canute
    Congratulations on the medals, Craig. Well deserved. Did you bring your lucky horseshoe for the raffles?
  23. Canute
    Nicely done, Jav. it has a well used look about it. 👍
  24. Canute
    As your normal, the red finish looks superb, Craig. Ferraris should be red.
  25. Canute
    You're both on my prayer list Keith. I'm in a similar boat with wife being the sick one right now. I'm under a watchful waiting period with my leaky aortic heat valve, too.

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.
