    I'll be hanging around for this one also, Andrew. Really like the RN paint scheme. 👍

    Andy, I'm in this one, too. Lots of bling showed up today for you. Happy to follow.

    Ouch. Similar situation over Laos one night. We turned around and went home. Luckily, radio still worked. Airplane sat in the repair shops for a long while. We needed a few extra beers that night.😲

    Only McDonnell would strap two J-79s to a Mack truck and make it supersonic.😁

    Looks like some relative of a Star Wars AT-AT. Guess I missed out on these when they came out. Interesting contraption.

    Nice, a Clark AB, Philippines jet. Looks like a late model E with the antennas on the spine. Interesting laser cut parts. The spider looking item looks like the AB interior bracing. Will follow along, for sure, Craig.

    Nicely done and including the Lanc gives a very nice reference on their sizes. 👍

    Just need some spray on cement. 😀

    I found the link in Chris's PWS-10 log and it was in English. I've downloaded the BM-6a. Will be laminating parts soon.

    Ditto. Great for your casting. Dries hard, although somewhat brittle for drilling/carving. Best do these operations right after removal from your molds. An alternative is Sculpt a mold.
  11. Canute
    Fully understand the team concept. Reunions of us old fighter types get that way, too.

    Chris, I would go for the simpler model, but can't get the page translated into English. Craig, got it directly from Draf.

    All this card model aircraft building whet my appetite and I pulled the trigger on a Draf Bristol F.2B with laser cut frames in Polish markings. I have a lot of questions, so I'll be firing up a build log soon. Don't want to clog up other builds with basic card modeling questions.

    Sign me up, Alan. Interesting to see how your dio turns out.
  15. Canute
    The carbide drills are problematical. While sharp, they are brittle and any side loads will break the bit. They really should be used in a drill press. I wiped out two using a good pin vise.
  16. Canute
    Painting your cargo must have made you cross-eyed. It does look outstanding. 👍
  17. Canute
    Very cool wandering around that place, Greg. And a nice juxtaposition of the model and the weapon that did her in. 👍
  18. Canute
    Nice finish. And a good save on the tailplanes. Nobody will know.😉
  19. Canute
    I'm in on this one, too, Alan. Interesting boat; tail fins look like some Buck Rogers rocket ship. Brave lads who sailed these into Ka Fjord to attack Tirpitz.

    We can wait with you, brother. The doc will give you a preliminary reading of your close up vision to figure out what power of glasses you'll need for closeups work. It should all shake out in the next few days.
  21. Canute
    They are first class mooches, always finagling a treat. 😉
  22. Canute
    Alan, I think soot would be appropriate in the exhaust. You could dust Pan Pastel chalks for that. The paint scheme turned out well. That's a pretty standard night fighter scheme with Lichtblau over Schwarz with Grauviolett mottling. 👍
  23. Canute
    These new products will be taking over the workshop. The old black India Ink and alcohol wash is a thing of the past.
  24. Canute
    My two lay across my feet at night, while I watch the tube. More so for being able to react if I make a move to get up and possibly find some treats for them.
  25. Canute
    Nicely done, including the ZZ Top reference.👍

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.
