    Your Mossie is coming along nicely, Kevin.

    Certainly, stain before gluing. The wood doesn't absorb most anything, once you get glue in there.

    Good luck with the Clinic doctors, Roger.

    Andrew, I'm in, too. It's quite the big beast of an aircraft. Take your; we'll savor the build better, I think.
  5. Canute
    Nicely done.

    Wood fired ovens are great for making pizza. Nice thin crust.

    Good to see you back at it, Alan. Castle is coming along nicely. One hint on that Amodel Yak. The fit is how can I say, challenging. I started a Yak-28 Firebar interceptor and stopped with the engine nacelles awaiting fitting to the wings. The weapons are kind of dodgy,too.

    The Dauntlesses had fixed wings, no fold mechanism.

    They like to demolish bird feeders, too. A friend had his feeder turned into a pretzel. Now they no longer put anything out. Deer are my biggest problem; they enjoy flowers. Your steamboat is progressing nicely, Rod.

    Grant, I'm in. Anything with Bogart and Hepburn, I'll follow too. Will you include figures?

    Denis, take a look at model RR gladhands, used to connect locos or cars. The semis use a very similar piece. Do the trailers have a document box or similar for paperwork that stays with the trailer?

    Don't know if you've heard of Solvaset. It's a pretty strong decal setting agent. Some of the older decals were pretty thick and Solvaset helped to get them set on car sides. It's pretty much a last resort. to get decals laying flat.

    Your execution of all those vignettes really elevates this build. Tells a story of hard work. Bravo!

    Best in Show - Structures!

    The USN had hangar deck catapults on the Yorktowns and early Essexes. I saw a picture of a Hellcat going off that way. Took up a lot of space and limited the ship to only the starboard catapult on the flight deck. It was a short shot and usually with some kind of crosswind. They were removed in late '42 into' 43.

    Welcome aboard, from an "airdale". And thank you for your service, Chris.

    Nicely done mini dio, Greg. 👍
  18. Canute
    Well done, Javlin.
  19. Canute
    Piece of cake (for you). Nice little jewel, Greg.👍

    Don't forget rule #1, mates: Happy wife, happy life! Else you'll be living in a foxhole or doghouse.

    Well, I've heard the nickname for the F-35 is Battle Penguin. The wall is superb. Bring on the Legions.
  22. Canute
    Great steer, Craig.

    Thankfully the trailers were cleaner graffiti wise back in the 50s. Dirty for sure by maybe only some chalk marks for routing in a yard. And you got the scale correct, Dennis. A lot of the brake plumbing isn't modeled in this scale, thankfully. Get the number of axles correctly positioned and get the landing gear type close enough. The bodies are what we normally see. I'm looking at 24 to 32 foot trailers by Fruehauf and Trail Mobile. Mostly box bodies, but some flats and open top boxes, too.

    Folks back home were doing their bit living with rationing. My Mom and aunts told their tales to us Baby Boom kids.
  25. Canute
    I'm in, too, Denis. I've developed an interest in these trailers as train loads. Tying these things down to flat cars evolved pretty rapidly from a mass of chains and come-alongs to the moveable hitches on the flats. Your build is a nice size reference for me.

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.
