    Good luck in Boston, digging into the various museums, etc. Very historic city.
  2. Canute
    Nicely done, Paul. 👍

    Rob, good luck with those rivets. I salute your endeavors. 🙏

    Riveting parts? WOW, I haven't had to do that since I built an old Bowser/English locomotive kit. They did include a riveting tool in the kit for peening over the rivets. You two are heroes, in my book.

    Interesting mods, Andy. Looking forward to this build.

    Nice touch by Hiro-san. She'll be a beauty.

    Most excellent, Glen. And the chain base was the icing on the cake!
  8. Canute
    I think you've captured the driftwood look very well. Very bucely done base.

    N scale rivets? I can't imagine laying those decals.You must be working extreme lighting and maximum magnification. 😄 Excellent work! 👍

    Coming along nicely, Alan. Your decks look good. Enjoy your trip.

    Yes, "Pips" Priller. He was one of the few Luftwaffe aces to attack the Normandy beaches. He was immortalized in the "Longest Day"" movie. This was his mount from the Battle of Britain. I did get to meet Adolf Galland at a dining-in we had a Bitburg. Galland was our after dinner speaker. He was some muckety muck in the West German Luftwaffe in the 1970s.

    The "Emil" looks good, Craig. One of the Abbeville Boys?

    I built a model of Gentile's Shangri La back in my "yoot". I am in, Phil! 😄

    Thanks, Mike.

    Mike, what's the name of this Czech PE source? That fret is chock full of parts. Thanks.

    Nicely done, Andy. 👍 Beautiful paint job. What's not to like about a shark-mouth! 😁

    I'm in for this one. Had a housemate back in Germany, mid 70s, with one. His Porsche was a darker blue metal flake. Factory paint. We all had those rubber baby buggy bumpers on our European cars, if built to US spec back then.

    They're a common sight, but a well-detailed model would be a show stopper. 😉

    Look forward to whatever you post on those a/c, Craig. That tow truck looks so cool, but it's way too neat for the typical trucks around here. And that Porsche Carrera will be a jewel.

    I though you had found a Musketeer. 😁 Sounds like quite the pirate. Jacques Lafitte's great grandfather?

    Could even use a brown paper bag as a polishing agent. I've polished watch crystals (the clear part over the face) with toothpaste. I scuffed up several getting bounced around the cockpit. The jet had a timepiece, but it's accuracy and availability were suspect. I'm in, OC.

    RGL did a German battlecruiser a while back, in 1/350 scale. Another of his masterful jobs.
  23. Canute
    Well done, Alan.

    Steam engines are the neatest engines devised by man. All the appliances and appurtenances are out side the boiler, so you see most of the moving parts. I had several classes about steam in college. Most of my classmates went to work in industry and spent more time working with steam. I dig steam locomotives; the sounds of that engine as he built steam is sooo familiar. Thank for including it, Keith. Merry Christmas to all and a prosperous New Year.

    Your derrick legs look great. Keep the photos coming. 😁

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.
