    Tamiya sells a tweezers similar to Chris's. Been happy with mine, although it doesn't lock.

    Superb craftsmanship. Masterful execution of the build. Well done.👍
  3. Canute
    Shaping up nicely, Javlin. 👍

    Paint some white glue into the space. You'd have to touch it up with more paint, since it will dry clear.
  5. Canute
    Very effective, OC. Not an easy thing to pull off. Can't wait to see this in the dio.
  6. Canute
    OK, practice on something you're not heavily invested in, like a CV with all the aftermarket. 👍

    Looks like they're already in work. Like Carl sez, what's the goal of your project?

    We had one in my squadron and it ran from early morning until the end of the duty day (4:30 PM).

    Fire it up, Kimosabe!

    Interesting way to build up the colors. I remember an early experiment with the Eagle in a pale blue. Didn't last long.
  11. Canute
    The three dots in the upper right corner give you that option.
  12. Canute
    Wow, those castings look good. I'm in and following.

    Congrats on the 2 years, Brian. She's looking very good. 👍
  14. Canute
    I'll second that. R&R is in order.

    Interesting base coat, Dan. Can't wait to see the mottle gray paint.
  16. Canute
    Nicely detailed. Can you get a tougher resin to print this or will that affect the printable detail. Are you doing any of the external plumbing, like the bleed air lines?

    That crew looks really hard-bitten. Wouldn't want to get on their wrong side. 😉

    Sure does look more aerodynamic with the rounded shape. This engine is really shaping up. Good luck today.

    Wow, what a great tour, getting to see everything close up. Mr Hamel needs to be thanked profusely. Great trip. Small factoid about the big coal chunks. At least in the anthracite areas in northeastern Pennsylvania, these were "run of mine" pieces. They were hauled by the railroads to breakers, where they were broken into sizes for use in homes and factories. There were 9 sizes, ranging from about 1/8 inch up to 4-6 inches. This largest was called "steam" coal. Since steam boilers back in those days were hand fired, the stokers had to toss a hefty shovel full into the fire grates. Looking at pictures of locomotive crews from that era, the fireman was the most fit looking guy on the crew.

    Don't rush it.

    The combustor cans are mostly round, but the aft 1/4 begins to flatten out and ends up as curved openings; like they took a race track oval and bent it into a curve. And that opening may have vertical supports for some strength. How I learned that was we lost an F-4 when a couple of the rods broke off and went into the turbine blades and punched a hole through the engine casing up into one of the fuel cells and thru some hydraulic lines. They caught fire and jumped out just north of our gunnery range, attempting to get home. Guy in the front seat quit flying after that..

    Nicely done, Dave. The woods you used really make it pop.
  23. Canute
    One well done vessel. Superb.

    EG, good luck in the medical department. You'll be in our thoughts and prayers. The Eduard story highlights one of the best produces out there. Some of the small producers I've dealt with are like that, but many just don't respond to we builders. You're onto something with the SLA resin printing. I have an acquaintance who has been making masters of model railroad cars with that kind of printer for a number of years. He uses them as masters for some high quality resin castings which we can buy. His kits are some of the best; too bad he doesn't do more in my scale.

    Like Jack says, OC. The antibiotics do a number on us as they fight the "bug". The antacids can cancel out the antibiotics when taken too soon. I have this on solid medical authority, my Admiral the Registered Nurse. Your fields and hedges are really coming along nicely. Looks a lot like the pasture across the road from me. For your trees, you might try a spray can of inexpensive hair spray on the bare stems. Do the spraying outside; it can be smelly. Have a couple of small boxes of your leaf materials to hand. Pick up a pinch of one color and sprinkle it onto the stem. Start dark and work out with lighter colors.

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.
