    Be on the lookout for D'Artagnan and his Amis.

    I'll follow along, too. The big BBs were neat.

    Dan, the Like is for the fine work you're doing. Has to stink to be doing roof work in the winter.

    Where I used to live in South Jersey, there were four or five hobby shops when I left in 2009. Only train place left is Sattler's, in I think Westmont, NJ. It's been around since WW 2. The other model train place is in Piscataway, the Model RR Shop. There is also AAA Hobbies, Internet selling as MegaHobbies, in Oaklyn. There are others, but I don't remember the names anymore. Here in western NC, we have places like Michaels, HobbyLobby and HobbyTown USA. There is one "hobby shop" in Hendersonville, with random hours and minimal stock outside of some Lionel Trainsets and the owner's knife collection. Needless to say, I do a lot of shopping online.

    Ekis, that is one outstanding diorama. 👍👍 Hopefully, we'll be patient as you continue with this adventure.

    Craig, yes I knew the place. Whenever I got down to MacDill AFB, I'd pop over there at least once a trip. Found a few bargains and several oldie but goodies. And his stuff migrated all over the country. I bought kits up in Jersey with his store stamp on them. Probably consignment sales from passed away modelers. A good place to hang out for a few hours. We had a few shops like that back in the day. Owner comes in, fires up a coffee pot and opens for business. Spent many a happy hour in places like that socializing and shopping. 👍

    Sounds good, OC. Give us a head's up next time. We'll bring suitable adult beverages,

    Party bus, I'd guess.

    Something to keep in mind on the base color. You may look at a dark gloss gray instead of the black. Scale passenger car painters say the black base is too dark for the the Alclad chromes and some shades of stainless. May require some testing.

    That'll be fun....

    CV1 or AV3?
  12. Canute
    Hippo/pigs, eh? I almost feel like I could run into a Knight Templar turning a corner in there. Great work, Ekis.
  13. Canute
    Yes it will, Don.
  14. Canute
    Oh, but you'll know its alright inside the tank.

    Kevin, James, et al.. Thank you all. The inactivity is making me nuts. The Admiral listens to my whining, but she has enough other things to deal with. I'm marking up the part sheets today, so I can feel like I'm participating in the build.
  16. Canute
    That's a little jewel, Mike. Well done.
  17. Canute
    Somebody must be the lead rabbit; just not me. I'll do what I can, like marking the various part sheets and such. I'm working under a rather bright light to read any fine print. I have 3 weeks to the first op.

    They sell some handles with a lobe to one side, but the one's in many shops are the blister pack with their usual round metal handle. Tape a piece of a toothpick to the side if you want to stop them from rolling.
  19. Canute
    Crikey, Greg, that's very good. You're capturing the ship admirably. 👍👍
  20. Canute
    Ekis, this is best in show material. Outstanding.
  21. Canute
    Aha, welcome to the "Hotel California".
  22. Canute
    The box showed up fairly quickly via FedEx. Inventoried the parts and read over Tom's instructions (well, looked at the pictures😁). I'll be slow diving into this, waiting for my eye surgeries in March. But, I'll be here following along with the rest of the mates.
  23. Canute
    The parts are cut out by a CNC machine and the builder must fit and final-shape the parts.
  24. Canute
    Well organized tests, Bradley. Great food for thought.
  25. Canute
    Getting artsy with the mantlet shot. Well done, OC.

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.
