    I'm with Richard's vote. The tape is quicker to lay out, but it will dry out and curl (been there). Your module looks great.
  2. Canute
    That rates a double thumbs up from this old aviator. 👍👍
  3. Canute
    As a former Tiger squadron member, I think your tiger skin turned out well. Looks good to me. 👍
  4. Canute
    Nicely done.
  5. Canute
    Hope you've got a good sea anchor. Some rabbit holes will get you turned about and lost for days. Better have some bread crumbs, Hansel! 😁

    Mike, how old is the kit? Age and thinness of the plastic could make for sporting builds, as does the lack of internal pins to square up parts in many limited run kits.You're doing commendable work here.👍

    I like the #2 base, with a bit of green under the bonsai base. Gives an impression of the tree growing out of the base. My 2 cents. 😄
  8. Canute
    As a once Jersey man, I can appreciate that.😉
  9. Canute
    May have to pull some all-nighters. 😁

    Lots of details in this kit. A new manufacturer or a subset of an older company looking to enter the armor market.

    Excellent work. The family should be proud.

    She's definitely a soft coal burner, with that plume. Hard coal -anthracite- was a major mining industry on the east branch of the Susquehanna and was a major home heating fuel back then. When the US Navy was building dreadnoughts, they began buying hard coal to remove the giveaway smoke plumes, since there was a lot of it available.

    She's a definite stand out, Keith.

    Good job on your rock-cut tunnel. It's looking good.

    Your Comet turned out nicely, Phil. The weathering suits it well.
  16. Canute
    Sweet finish, Craig. Good luck at the show.

    Flattery will get you everywhere! 😁 I sure do miss the bird and the lifestyle. The jet was assigned almost every task under the sun and was considered a master of none. The ordnance flight manuals we had were the biggest ones by weight. We carried everything in the inventory that fit on a fighter, so the ballistic manuals had to match. Weren't too many parts of that book I didn't use. Hope you all had a nice Memorial Day. Remember the folks who died getting us to where we are today.

    Well, that's cat-logic for ya. Lula is looking great, Keith.

    Crushed walnut shells were also used to clean jet engines. The GE J-79 engines in F-4s and various other military jet aircraft were cleaned with them.

    Nice work on this Mossie variant, Andy.
  21. Canute
    Thanks to steam exhaust products, like cinders and gases given off by coal combustion, the areas around rights of way were fairly denuded of any foliage. The diesel transition started the recovery of the forests near the tracks.
  22. Canute
    Those wheels look the real deal, Craig. 👍
  23. Canute
    Looks like you have just the correct amount of tension on those chains. We'll sit here waiting to hear the sprong of the tension. 🤞 And it looks like you have a leg up on your starboard side weathering. 😉
  24. Canute
    Amen, Chris. Nice to see your crew deployed around the boat and especially their back stories. We did that in the papermill on our club layout and the visitors liked to read the vignettes.
  25. Canute
    You could use a ratter dog, some kind of terrier. Wise move on quitting smoking; I lost several relatives, including my Mom, to smoking. Lula is looking good, but as some have said, it needs some clutter.

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.
