    Same for me with drawing. I can give a sketch to a friend of mine with a laser cutter for special pieces/ parts. And that's a rubber room for that straitjacket, Carl. White room is a super clean space, which ain't gonna happen either. It's a basement. Floor is dark, hides dirt. Also hides anything dark, like many model parts.

    Yes, sir. It's just as easy to launch a 3D part as a PE one. I need to do my work in a white room, so when a part goes pinging off into the next dimension, I stand a chance of quickly finding the pieces/part. Luckily,of late, it's been a tad easier, since the basswood & styrene shapes I'm working with are light colored.

    I'll second that book recommendation. Excellent read.

    Beautiful prints, Greg. Superb detailing. WOW.
  5. Canute
    OC, applying a mottling will be insane at your scale. Your figures are the focus here.
  6. Canute
    Your gray is looking good, OC. There is one in the corral across the street, on the farm.

    Some could be water, Lou. Our guys carry 2 sets of Jerry cans, color coded for fuel or water. I think I fired a few Maverick air to ground missiles at a few of those, during some live fire exercises we flew in.

    That trailer hitch is called a fifth wheel, over on this side of the pond, Kevin. It allows the tractor or cab you're building to haul a semi trailer. The semis have a pin on the bottom as the other part of the hitch.

    Nice! Great start. I'm in.
  10. Canute
    Very cool discovery.
  11. Canute
    Those KGL wounded look pretty good. Will be superb with your paint job.
  12. Canute
    Looks like you captured the appearances quite nicely. The horse and tack look very good. And all the riders are up to your usual standards.
  13. Canute
    Quite the range. I see many that will be of use. looking forward to your comments on use.

    Nicely done, OC. The cavalry of that era were the peacocks of the army. In a time gaudy uniforms, the cav alry were the gaudiest. Your detail painting is superb.
  15. Canute
    Check the Tamiya line. They make a number of tweezers.
  16. Canute
    Your tail feathers have a nice burned metallic look to them.
  17. Canute
    My prop knowledge is limited. I'm a jet guy. 😄
  18. Canute
    Props look great, but the hub? Looks like it's for an inline engine.
  19. Canute
    You can also read the late James Hornfischer's "Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors". Very interesting read.
  20. Canute
    OC, they could have "bobbed" tails or something similar. They may have trimmed tails versus letting them grow naturally. Your choice, mate.
  21. Canute
    OC, your second horse looks like it's trying to lay down. 😁 At least, that's what mine looked like as they laid down. And yes, horses do lay down. If I had mine in their stalls overnight, they'd be walking out with light colored wood spots in the morning. The models are looking good.

    Your dio will be chock full of soldiers, I guess in several mini-scenes. It'll be pretty busy. Nice, since every time you look at it, you'll focus on a different scene. 👍
  23. Canute
    I use that saw also, Per. Very thin kerf. 👍
  24. Canute
    Your engine stand is looking the real deal, brother. These prints are great for prototyping; the skills for many of us in scratchbuilding in styrene or brass are lacking. Many model railroaders are collectors of ready made models, not builders anymore. Those of us who do build are sometimes talked about as if we were practicing magic. We learn by doing, as you are so eloquently showing us. Thanks.

    I got to fly on the wing of the RAF version of the Buccaneer; I think 208 Squadron, at a Red Flag in the late 70s. Very professional crews. 👍

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.
