    I'm with Mark. The PE is a big improvement.

    Neat build of the monitor, Chris. And a very nice display.Well done.

    OC, the pond started out looking good. The color is very good. Like others have said, let the resin do it's own thing as it sets.
  4. Canute
    Amen to that. Be safe.

    Another nicely done project, Denis. Spruced up an ancient kit and included a history lesson to boot. Thanks.

    You may need a mask capable of handling organic solvents. I use it with acetone based plastic glues, such as Tamiya Extra Thin and MEK. I don't seem to have issues with the plastic cement sold thru Deluxe or the Testors liquid on the black dispenser.

    very nice, another take on the Hood. Model on, Roger.
  8. Canute
    Yes, they needed a skilled pilot.
  9. Canute
    OC, that should work. The resin can find the most minute pin holes, so go around the edges twice.
  10. Canute
    OC, make sure the seal of the paper on your base is super tight. Any pinholes will be an avenue for the resin to escape, either 1.) flowing onto the floor or 2.)gluing the base to your table top. I have been involved with doing the first boo-boo, so I have an acquaintance with this stuff. It works great and looks good when it's done.

    Superb scratch-build. Best in show! Full points.
  12. Canute
    Midship companionway (stairway) near the bridge.
  13. Canute
    The Old Covered Wagon is looking good in the paint, Greg.
  14. Canute
    Can I take it on the Autobahn? High speed cars and I go waaay back. I promise I won't make it take off.
  15. Canute
    Craig, I'm in. Will be interesting for the finishing of this staff car.
  16. Canute
    OC, my wife, the Registered Nurse, agrees with EG on the heat and ice routine. Take good care of your wife, we can wait.
  17. Canute
    Yeah, that's a good rendering of a teak deck. Might add tire scuffs, too.
  18. Canute
    OC, hopefully she gets through all the bruising OK. The purple/yellow stage looks the worst. Thankfully, no concussion.
  19. Canute
    Wish her well for me , mate. That's serious stuff. Once we get to a certain age, we not longer are Gumby. Keep her comfortable.
  20. Canute
    Making good headway on the Lib, Denis.
  21. Canute
    Looks good, mate. Very nicely done.
  22. Canute
    They did that with steam locomotive drivers, too. Heat the tire rim in a furnaces so that it expands, move it quickly to the actual driver wheel and place it. Then cool it into place. Since the driver was two parts, occasionally the rim would separate from the wheel, with catastrophic results. The dynamic forces on the drivers were significant with the spinning wheels and the drivers and connecting rods moving along.
  23. Canute
    Oh, nice a Prinz Eugen. Another gem. I'm in Brother.
  24. Canute
    Beautiful work, Craig. She was a gorgeous ship. Thanks for sharing your work.
  25. Canute
    Looks like a good time/spot to build the dio. The KGL rallying to repulse the French units. Waterloo was such a wide spread battle, one needs to focus on just one unit's actions.

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.
