    We've had 2, over the years. I think those cats themselves are decorations. I had other cats on our farm that were extremely efficient ratters. We had no varmints in the feed bins. The Maine Coons wouldn't leave the house.

    Nice little biplane, Javlin. Check out Tru-Color paint. They probably match it. If you remember Accu-Paint, it's a reformulated solvent paint, like Accu-Paint was. Acetone base I believe. Only issue I've heard about is it needs to be used over primer on resin. Wants to slough off resins.

    What were they thinking? 😮

    Superb work, Rob. And like EG says, great looking base.

    I think Woodland Scenics has some ditch water effects, Alan. Merry Christmas to you and yours, also.

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and the Admiral, OC. Here's to a better year for us all.

    Thanks EG. That's what I thought. I normally use Future to gloss coat under decals. Not much call for clear windows on freight cars. Just cabeese and passenger cars. 😄

    Sounds similar to the CA fumes that can fog the clear plastic. Will the Pledge help?

    The candle for CA is new to me. Do you just puddle some on the tea-candle? I've usually used an open blister pack to put a few drops into, the dab it on the model with a unfolded paperclip or Glue looper.

    Your weathering is superb, Rob. And your explanation of the methods you employ is also. Thank you for sharing your artistry.

    Your wounded look good. The washes really make them pop. The dismounted Cuirassier looks to be an interesting project with his weapons and that helmet. looking forward to how this turns out. 😄
  12. Canute
    Superb craftsmanship, Grant. I'd rebuild a layout to make that the centerpiece. 👍
  13. Canute
    That's some mill, Craig. No mufflers. And 24 plug wires? Yahoo. Can't wait to see that wired up.
  14. Canute
    Good save, Andy. 👍
  15. Canute
    Extremely well done. Congratulations.

    No, I believe these are from forgotten stashes, recently come to light. I think there are plans afoot to resurrect the kits, but I could be misinformed.

    What a novel way to add a vent/window. Looks good.
  18. Canute
    Nicely done. Looks like a lot of the jets I flew, back in the day. Well worn.
  19. Canute
    Topic is good. Can you edit the links or at worst, delete them?
  20. Canute
    beautiful work on Cairo. Superb display. 👍
  21. Canute
    Mike, looks suitably mangled. Enough damage to require local shipyard time, but not so much it has to go to a major base for rebuilding. 👍
  22. Canute
    Those vehicles look suitably grubby. Weathering is nicely done.
  23. Canute
    Nice Hurricane from BoB. I've been a fan of the battle for years. Very close run thing. There is a build review of the Airfix kit here: https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/builds/airfix/build_airfix_2067.shtml
  24. Canute
    Great find for your display base. beautiful piece of wood. 👍

    Good start, LWARD1291. Fun and games building resin kits. I had a friend build an HO Sylvan tugboat. He had similar travails fitting that kit. I've built a few vehicles of theirs and they too needed much cleanup. That being said, they are often the only way you'll get a particular model.

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.
