    Thanks, EG. I thought so, but it was 10 years ago. That info was stored in the sub-basement and a long way from the main aisle way. 😄

    Alan, I took a scenery clinic/class at a train convention that used clumps of plant matter that were in small sticky clusters on a plastic sheet. I wish I could remember the brand. It was real easy to just peel and stick. Maybe EG or some of the other model railroaders remember that stuff.

    Your ground work looks suitably muddy. And your added clutter on the vehicles is a great idea. They look sterile without it. 👍

    Merry Christmas. Black Mountain is a bit east of Asheville; I'm about a half hour south of Asheville. All mountainous. The Eastern Continental Divide runs through here. Most rivers run off southeast. The French Broad River, about a half mile west of me runs mostly north to the Tennessee River and then the Mississippi.

    Merry Christmas to you and yours, Eric. From a frozen "holler" in the Smokies.

    Jeff, same to you and yours. Be well.
  7. Canute
    And Merry Christmas to you and yours, Kevin.

    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.
  12. Canute
    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?
  16. Canute
    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.
  17. Canute
    Your weathering is superb, Rob. And your explanation of the methods you employ is also. Thank you for sharing your artistry.
  18. Canute
    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. 😄
  19. Canute
    Superb craftsmanship, Grant. I'd rebuild a layout to make that the centerpiece. 👍
  20. Canute
    That's some mill, Craig. No mufflers. And 24 plug wires? Yahoo. Can't wait to see that wired up.
  21. Canute
    Good save, Andy. 👍
  22. Canute
    Extremely well done. Congratulations.
  23. Canute
    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.
  24. Canute
    What a novel way to add a vent/window. Looks good.
  25. Canute
    Nicely done. Looks like a lot of the jets I flew, back in the day. Well worn.

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.
