    Rob, this looks like a very interesting build. This bird looks quite the beast with the shark mouth motif. Hope you get minimum hassles from this ungainly bird.

    Richard, looks very good. 👍 Some of the design ideas these models represent are pretty esoteric. Radiator lines running along the cockpit rails. Wow.

    Andy, the Hurricane could be a weather divert. Had those happen any number of times. The dio is shaping up nicely. I'm waiting to see your "mud" treatment.😄

    Alan, great work on your castle. I really liked the night shots; reminded me of a night illumination of a French castle in the Loire Valley, once upon a time. 👍

    I've got one of these buried in my stash. The Five Star PE adds to the interest. I'm in on this one too, Mike.

    She's definitely a novel vessel, Mike. I'm in.

    One of my buddies was in the Porsche club and they did a trip. That's the number he quoted. And his Porsche didn't have power steering. It beat him up pretty good.🙄

    That would be way better. 318 curves is more fun in a Ferrari. The Yank tanks just slow things way down.😄

    Come on up to western NC and drive the Smokey Mountain Parkway and the Dragon's Tail.😁

    Craig, your work is always impressive. This is another beauty. 👍

    Well done. I especially like the lit photo.

    Rode in one, once. Just about rattled my fillings out.

    Flying boats are cool. I'm in.

    I'll have to remember that tip, too. 👍 Those wipers are light years beyond the kit blobs. Very nice.

    What would they say about playing the Doors.?

    Glen, it was a very long time ago (mid 80s). I'd guess it was some kind of pillow stuffing.

    The Rye Field models are some of the most detailed out there. 👍 Almost anything by "The Who" works for me. 😁

    I read Jablonski's books on the air war in Europe for the US. Eye-watering losses. That led me to read the RAF side. Again, heart rending losses. Then I went to Viet Nam and ended up escorting B-52s at night. Quite the air battles. I've read some decent appraisals of that battle, tying in the sorties from both sides. A pretty balanced read. I forget the title, but the author, Marshall Michel, is a fellow fighter pilot and an acquaintance of mine. I second EG's recommendation of reading the US CoS's recommended reading list. The current CoS is USAF and a bit of a cyber fan. He includes podcasts to the usual book list.

    You could use Q-tips/cotton buds to smooth the putty. Moisten with a little water; think damp. Rub the putty very lightly to smooth it. Do this right after applying the putty.

    You might try some thin slivers of white styrene in the bigger gaps. You won't need as much filler to cover the opening. And put some tape next to the gaps to protect the rest of the area. Older kits really have some glaring fitting errors, so we modelers have to get somewhat creative in turning a sow's ear into a silk purse.

    Excellent work with your diorama, Richard. My Dad was over on the Yank side, St. Lo, with the soon to be stood up 3rd Army. I remember him saying the place was a mess for road signs. 👍
  22. Canute
    Looking very good, Phil. Waiting to see your red dragons completed.

    The Delaware River, above Trenton, was like that. The Army Corps of Engineers built diversion channels to prevent flooding due to ice jams. Below Trenton, the Delaware was a tidal river; barges could bring coal and oil up to Burlington, NJ and Fairless, PA. The coal stopped when the steel mill in Fairless shut down. Jet fuel is transshipped to McGuire AFB.

    Alan, I think once your grasses go on, you'll forget the ground paint. Nicely done.👍

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.
