    Sleek and sharp looking.

    I love Vettes, but the low suspension is bad news for creaky legs and back anymore. So I can dream and look at these great car builds.

    I used to give friends tractor bucket loads of the horse manure in the spring for their veggie gardens. kept the stable sweepings pile down to a small hill. The little village out side my base in Germany had many mounds of the stuff, since we were in a very rural part of Germany. Luckily, it was downwind of the base.

    James, I made the CANBUS comment with tongue in cheek, but it's not surprising at all that they have sounds for this car. They've managed to squeeze a sound board and speaker into N Scale locomotives. Use a cell/mobile phone speaker. Where did they shoehorn the speaker and battery in this GT? Fuel tank?

    Does that one have a CANBUS? Got a circuit board and wiring connections.

    I am gob-smacked. This is a scaled down car.

    The only thing good I could think of is after letting the stuff "ripen" for 6 months, it makes outstanding fertilizer. As my Admiral would say. you could plant broom handles in this stuff and grow trees. Is there anything else good about said "muffins" and "apples".

    More like avoid the back end by a few feet, Lou. My horses went horizontal, doing their business. As soon as the tail went up, you scrammed that area. And don't step on the meadow muffins.

    Great paint. You should do a Corvette C6 racer. Similar yellow.

    Very, very strange, Kevin. Been hypoxic, eh?

    This is the windmill in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. It's a copy of a 1631 built English windmill.

    Dan, this is a very unique boat. Be interesting to see the research and build.

    Proceeding slowly, fairing the frames and floors. The Thanksgiving holiday prep took up my shop time. Need some more 220 grit sandpaper, too.

    Denis, nice job with the a/c. Taking pictures of black objects is a bear. Maybe a light gray primer under the white areas could help. I know yellow and red are hard to achieve the right color, unless undercoated with white or light gray. I've been reading in the model RR websites about guys undercoating the typical rusty red freight cars with a yellow primer. And Badger just happens to make a yellow acrylic primer.

    I really like this cross section, Tom. Would Lexan be less brittle?

    Aw c'mon, it's only 1 day a year to pig out. My conscience is clear on the pig out. The Admiral made a great sausage stuffing, candied yams, broccoli, cauliflower and a bone-in turkey breast with gravy. Had some friends over and I think we have half the turkey left. Urp! I've been on a diet since mid April and have lost 38 pounds, so far. Want to drop at least 12 more. Started on a 1200 calorie diet back then; I'm up to 1500-1600 cals now. Plus walking 3+ miles, 4-5 times a week. I burn about 500 cals per walk. It's doable; although the washboard abs will need somebody else's expertise, Alan.

    Seven cooks. Waahoo, buddy. Bet the grub was good.

    You do know eating large amounts of turkey can put you in a tryptophan induced coma, don't you? 😁 Ops normal for the day. We'll all be in the TV room with some football game on and everyone will be snoring in their chairs. Been in that nap time game a time or two.

    The Phantom was pretty cool. Like number of you have said, it's a shame they have to be cut up. Me, I'd like it in triple chocolate. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Yankees and a tip of the hat to all of of our buddies here on MSW.
  20. Canute
    Looking sharp, Craig. And a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
  21. Canute
    Looking good, Grant. Everything is coming along nicely. I'm lagging right now as we have been preparing for our Thanksgiving holiday. Not getting the shop time to fair the frames.
  22. Canute
    Tom, you're correct. It would be "This is No Sh**. The abbreviation TINS is a column header from our quarterly magazine, "Mig Sweep". That's where we can relate well-scrubbed stories from Nam and Desert Storm.
  23. Canute
    Tom, check thru the site sponsors. One more place to look is Free Time Hobbies: https://freetimehobbies.com/ There are a number of online hobby shops, not just ship sites. Try Megahobby: https://www.megahobby.com/ Sprue Brothers: https://store.spruebrothers.com/ Kitlinx: https://www.kitlinx.com/ Hopefully others chime in.

    Well, it's safer than a lot of other topics, Tom. Do you know the difference between a fighter pilot war story and a fairy tale? Fairy tales start "Once upon a time, ..." Fighter pilot war stories start "There I was,..." and there is a lot of hand waving.

    Great paintings, Jim. Thank you for sharing them with us.

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.
