    Should be an interesting build, Alan.

    Aw, shucks, Kevin. Sorry for you. But your Admiral is a gem without flaws. Good luck with this new build.

    BikerMart, nice layout. Looks good. You may want to try operations. Find a club nearby where you can see things live. And participate. We get fellas in our club who say "I'll just watch" (afraid they might break something?) I tell them to get involved. We can pair the newbie with an old head operator. I have fun at the various ops sessions. You need to dirty up your structures and plant weeds and trees. Its very pristine as it stands.

    You can brush it on top of already placed decals. If the decals are still silvery, you can reapply and touch a pin tip into the decal to get the solution under the decal.

    It's starts out looking hapzard, but once you've glued and painted the various sections, it looks good. Keep on truckin' 😁

    Denis, I saw this this morning in my AF news and immediately thought of your ongoing project with KG200. They made a movie: https://www.military.com/off-duty/movies/2022/01/12/wolf-hound-wwii-movie-inspired-secret-nazi-air-combat-unit.html Could be interesting.

    Oy, tough decision. Can you cobble up a fixture to do the vee parts of the boom with the thicker rod, since they look symmetrical. Thicker only because of the strength needed.Then another jig holding the vee sections vertical, so you can attach the top parts. If it was brass rod, I'd go thinner, but my soldering skills are better employed doing electrical work. 😉 In prior endeavors, years back, I attempted a corrugated engine house and a car kit. Kept unsoldering prior work. Thank the stars for CA.😁

    Nice trade. 3D is better here.

    very nice work with the painting, decaling and pin striping. Avery makes a lot of office supplies, one line of which is stick-on mailing labels. A reliable product line.

    Turning out nice. Good fix on the ignition cabling.
  11. Canute
    Very nice work on the sleeping car.
  12. Canute
    Great looking weathering on the truck bed. Looks real. 👍
  13. Canute
    Nicely done, Dan. A significant development in early jets.
  14. Canute
    This build will an epic journey, Kevin. I'll be following along.😃
  15. Canute
    Nicely done. 😁
  16. Canute
    I'm for the second option. Save wear and tear on your plaque. 😉

    OC, I think Gator Grip glue is available, but you need to email Kenny to get it. I'll second Alan's recommendation for using it. I apply the regular (thicker) with a paint brush. I keep a cup of water handy to clean the brush. And I let it tack up for a minute or so. Parts seem to stick well.

    I've had similar issues with clicking on the star. Should take me to just after my last entry/view. Sometimes it does (usually), but sometimes it just geets me to the page.

    Will be another great build, Greg. I seem to remember Gambier Bay was sunk off Leyte. Launched her birds to harass the Northern pincer. Ziggy Sprague's task group flagship? Read "Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors" .
  20. Canute
    Michael, sounds like the phone apps we have for model railroaders using Digital Command Control systems. Do you have room for a speaker? 😁
  21. Canute
    Beautiful work, Michael. What pressure can you use, if it's going to operate?
  22. Canute
    Nice one, OC.
  23. Canute
    Chris, that has everything but the kitchen sink in there. All that's missing is the wiring and tubing. WOW!
  24. Canute
    Sounds like an inertia system. We had them in the F-4 and I suspect most fighters would have similar systems. We have them in cars now, too, since most everyone has some kind of upper body restraint system.
  25. Canute
    Nice work on the tins and you "other" diorama, Alan. 👍😁

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.
