    Coming along nicely, Phil. I'm following , too.
  2. Canute
    3D prints look so good. Biggest issue I have is removing all the little "fingers" from the parts and then cleaning them up. Many parts are scale thickness, making for delicate builds.

    Another superb build, Chris. May I add the Dauntless to your list? I think some were in use until the Battle of the Philippine Sea, also known as the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot.

    Detailing is superb. Glad to see you back.
  5. Canute
    Sure do look painted. At least the hand holds. Model on.
  6. Canute
    Congratulations on a job well done, Phil. Looking forward to your next one.

    The Eduard sets may have some stainless steel PE. Pre-plan your bends, the stainless may only allow 1 bend. I like your build. HMS Hood is one of my favorite ships.

    Good planning, Eric. The railroad owned structures would all share the same palette. Private structures here were mostly brick, showing some prosperity. We had a number of camps around the area for the Low County area around Charleston, SC to leave the mosquito ridden, hot and humid dwellings for the cooler, drier mountain air in the area. Some hotels were quite posh. Most are gone, but some camps still operate over the summer.

    How did the prototype do them? You would need a color photo of the car in San Francisco versus what the model company put on the box. It's your railroad, so do what floats your boat.

    This scene looks great, Eric. I like your adding the tavern interior. Will you do up figures? The differing sizes and colors looks spot on. Love your work.

    Very impressive, Alan. The yellow looks great. And the lions do, too. I get a kick out of the war hammer he's carrying. Looks a lot like the Halligan tool firefighters use to pry open doors in a hurry.

    Here's a site for paper models of all the shuttles and their cargoes/payloads: https://axm61.wordpress.com/ We need a space pickup truck like the shuttles to haul the follow-on space station. I think "Alpha", the current facility, will get decommissioned in 2030. Of course, that could slip. My flight of aviators had just sat down for lunch in front of a big screen TV when the news came over the news feed. We were stunned. Crikey, that was a long time ago.

    The fuselage looks good. The carb and machine gun attachments will be an interesting modeling step. 👍

    I suspect it's insurance to prevent a car using that space for wheel flanges if it rides up on an object in the flangeway. Railroads/railways were notorious belt and suspenders folks. 😄
  15. Canute
    Nicely done, Rob. 👍 The driver's "office" was so much simpler back then.
  16. Canute
    Maybe it was an elevated viewing station/crow's nest. The mast wasn't usable, but elevation was needed to see over whatever was being barged around. Railroad tugs had higher wheelhouses to see over the multiple floats they moved around various harbors.

    My gosh, a fire breathing penguin. St Elmo, protect this poor navigator!

    I learned the term from railroaders explaining the once widespread heaps in the Scranton-Wilkes Barre area. The heaps are gone now, as is the haze from the heavy industries of that area.
  19. Canute
    Nice match, John.
  20. Canute
    Yes, yellows are a pain to paint. Your multiple coats is the best route. The lion as a decal should work.
  21. Canute
    I salute your machining and soldering skills. Well done.
  22. Canute
    Those coal spoils look good. Don't know if that stuff could be culm. That was the rock and stone remains around the breakers, after the mine run chunks were broken into commercial sizes and loaded into twin bay open hoppers. There were culm hills in the Scranton area with all the leftovers. Locals mined these hills to extract any remaining hard coal. I had friends who still heated their homes with this anthracite.
  23. Canute
    She looks good. She worked NY harbor for years.
  24. Canute
    Those are some beautiful street lamps. 👍
  25. Canute
    I can hear "Proud Mary", the old Creedence Clearwater tune made famous by Tina Turner, playing in the background. Your paddle wheel is coming along nicely.

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.
