Check photos of your subject. Black and white or color.Sometimes the B&W photos show the wear and tear better.

Hard to like that, even though at the time it was the enemy. As General Sherman said, "war is hell".

Paint some white glue into the space. You'd have to touch it up with more paint, since it will dry clear.

OK, practice on something you're not heavily invested in, like a CV with all the aftermarket. 👍

I'll second that. R&R is in order. -

Nicely detailed. Can you get a tougher resin to print this or will that affect the printable detail. Are you doing any of the external plumbing, like the bleed air lines? -

Sure does look more aerodynamic with the rounded shape. This engine is really shaping up. Good luck today. -
Wow, what a great tour, getting to see everything close up. Mr Hamel needs to be thanked profusely. Great trip. Small factoid about the big coal chunks. At least in the anthracite areas in northeastern Pennsylvania, these were "run of mine" pieces. They were hauled by the railroads to breakers, where they were broken into sizes for use in homes and factories. There were 9 sizes, ranging from about 1/8 inch up to 4-6 inches. This largest was called "steam" coal. Since steam boilers back in those days were hand fired, the stokers had to toss a hefty shovel full into the fire grates. Looking at pictures of locomotive crews from that era, the fireman was the most fit looking guy on the crew.

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.
