    Looks like a nice day in Graf down in Bavaria. US Army equivalent down there.
  2. Canute
    Three seems best to me.
  3. Canute
    It's looking like a real doozy. I hope and pray you all come thru okay.

    Special Berlin Garrison rules, maybe? Probably some peacetime requirement. If it gets hot, I as tank commander, will shoot out the light. 8-)

    Never, ever believe 100% that the weather guessers got it right. The storms seem to drift a wee bit east of the computer estimates, at least in eastern Gulf. Being west of the eye is better than east, especially for the storm's landfall/coast in.

    MA Deuce looks good, Craig. Ya'll be careful, ya heah? 😄 We're possibly in the cross hairs, but it should be a depression by the time it hits, thanks to being over land on the current prognostication. The threat for us is flash flooding and the usual losses of power. Hope you and yours weather it OK.

    Looks good to me, Richard. Nice work.
  8. Canute
    Well done, Dan. The sunlight shots really show up well.
  9. Canute
    There a PE set for the boat or are you using some ladder stock? Whatever you did, it looks good. 😄

    Interesting, Richard. You bring up some fine points.
  11. Canute
    Your work is excellent, Grant. 👍 Those sashes are the hardest part of any build with windows. I'd work about 20 min on them, then go do anything else to rest my aching eyeballs.

    Eric, looks good. Timber framing looks so good. Norm Abram (This Old House) would be proud. 👍
  13. Canute
    Interesting painting. Looks like some salvage work in progress.
  14. Canute
    Interesting, looks a LSM/LST. I'm in, Greg.
  15. Canute
    Wow, there's a ton of detail in that jewel. Rye Field does a beautiful job and your skills enhance it. 👍👍

    Good tip with the chalk dust on the white. 👍 I made up a plastic jig to assemble wood windows. It's just two strips glued at 90 degrees and thick enough the layer all the parts. Works well with PVA glue. CA isn't a player, but I normally don't use it with wood kits.
  17. Canute
    Interesting build, Alan. I'd like to follow along.
  18. Canute
    Interesting effects on the trim pieces. I'll try it on a mill building I've been contemplating.

    Interesting, Allan. We had a German national at Bitburg AB, Germany, who did the interpretation of the German flight rules. They were in English, but sometimes you need to get the correct spin in things. Anyway, he had a similar tale about minimal training and flying an Me-109 at the end of the war. He was shot down and wounded to the degree he couldn't fly any more. But a great guy to talk with. And that jet was an Me-262. 👍
  20. Canute
    Nicely done, both the board replacement and the flashing. 👍
  21. Canute
    That plan works for me, too. 😉 And the butt joints aren't bad. I've seen well weathered barns looking like that. 😄
  22. Canute
    That is quite the model Craig. Great detail. 👍 Definitely need the seat belts and shoulder harnesses. Masking tape strips work for the airplane folks, why not for armor. 😄
  23. Canute
    Well done with the installation of your comms boxes. Surprised the seats are a solid sand color.
  24. Canute
    Proceeding nicely Eric, despite the admitted woodworking buffoonery. Keeping those chisels sharp to do the finishing around all that joinery. And keep hydrated with just water. Dehydration ain't fun.
  25. Canute
    Would using plastic and resin aftermarket parts be doable or is that just not done by the card modeling fraternity? Just curious, as in my primary area, any part, no matter the source, is acceptable. Just depends on what you're willing to spend.

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.
