Denis, DML is Dragon and they've been around a while. And I think they made plastic ship models, too -

Armor is similar to the TUSK stuff, except flat plates vs scalloped. -

Too bad there is no aftermarket parts available for one piece tracks for these. -

Turned out nicely, OC. -
Four's in, with my microscope, too. I'm a fan of Scharnhorst.

Glad things are looking up on the home front. Simple is good. The KISS principle at work. -

Thanks, Edward. Slat armor around the engine compartment, huh? Interesting blend. -

Improving daily. I go to the Ophthalmologist for my second post op today. Doc says I'll meed readers for fine work. That's fine by me. Used my Optivisor for the detail work (up close and personal) yesterday. -

Suitably grimy, OC. Looks good. -
Sitting up on Castle Point bluff in Hoboken, in the 60s was interesting to see all the harbor traffic. The last passenger ferry shut down towards the end of my freshman year at Stevens Tech. The car floats and other traffic were busy, but film I've seen from the 20s thru 40s made the 60s look slow motion. Still had the big ocean liners coming into the North River (aka Hudson) every so often.

Has Anyone Used Surgical Binocular Loupes
Canute replied to rraisley's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I've used them over my readers and they increase magnification, but you end up working closer to your model. Depth of field gets unwieldy, attempting to insert pins into other parts, etc. Takes some practice. -
Has Anyone Used Surgical Binocular Loupes
Canute replied to rraisley's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I'm recovering from cataract surgery, 3 and 1 week ago. I have one normal lens in my right eye and a special one for astigmatism in the left. Medicare covered the normal lens, I paid extra out of pocket for the astigmatism fix. I need nothing for distance and +2.5 pair of readers for some closer/finer print. I can sit at my computer without glasses. I use the readers for my smartphone. Outdoors in bright sun, I use plain sunglasses. Like Gaetan said, good LED lights will help across the board for your modeling. And an Optivisor or similar for fine detailing. -
Very nice progress on the Isis. Glad you found that copy of Transfer. Do you have copies of Tom Flagg's books on the NY Harbor. Not sure if he found any grain elevator pix. But, they have a lot of good color pictures of harbor craft.

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.
