    They didn't believe you were spraying for mosquitoes?

    Mike, carrier decks were natural wood until 1941, then went with the blue stains. Like EG said, they had a stain for the wood, paint for the metal portions.

    I've had similar tales shipping items from Savannah, GA to Hendersonville, NC. Box made it from SAV to Greenville, SC in 2 days; had to go to Jacksonville first. From Greenville, it should go to my PO in a day then delivery to my house.. Nope, box left Grenville for Raleigh, sat there a week and came back to Greenville. Sat 2 more days, then Hendo to my house in 2 days. And lately, UPS has been handing packages over to USPS for more shenanigans. Oy vey!

    Evergreen Scale Models makes a number of styrene channels of 0.060, 0.080, 0.100 and 0.125. They go a little bigger, too. Check this page: https://evergreenscalemodels.com/collections/14-35cm-opaque-white-polystyrene-channel

    Bratties would be good too, with some good mustard/senf in German.

    Choices, choices. Plus laser cut formers. The White Tail intrigues me more.

    Chili dogs. Real heart burn makers.

    Mike, a small, thin flexible ruler or some of that old Dymo tape works well for aiding your rescribing. I hate when a scribed line wanders off into an area of pristine plastic.

    OC, very cool. What scheme will you do? I see RAF and RN markings.If I may be so bold as to make a request, RAF 19 or 92 would be nice or that Tiger marking. Looking forward to whatever you decide.

    Interesting a/c. Be interested in how the camo comes out.

    Big, interesting personalities back then. Waltrip, Earnhardt,Wallace, etc. Nowadays they seem all button-down corporation fronts. Too bad.

    Nicely done, Dan.👍

    Sorry to read of the demise of this build. Understand the stopping when it's not fun. You'll be back, better than ever.

    Marvelous job there, Craig.
  15. Canute
    Yes they do. One brand is Jumbo-tron. I know there is a setup at Charlotte (NC) Motor Speedway, and most of the other big tracks that the NASCAR Cup series run on.

    Thanks, Chuck. Good thing I asked. I'd be working on 8 planks. Okay, back to the shop.
  17. Canute
    Frames faired in. Ready to start lining out the hull. One question with the planking fan, since this is a first time for me. I lay the tick strip perpendicular to the vertical axis of the fan, centering the strips between the fan lines to give 9 tick marks.

    Very nice work on these KGL men, OC.
  19. Canute
    Sign me up. NASCAR hot rod, woohoo!
  20. Canute
    Denis, what were you thinking (or not). Sounds like something I'd say, though.
  21. Canute
    Coming along nicely, OC. Good looking KGL infantry.
  22. Canute
    Oh, nice a pub crawl, too.
  23. Canute
    Those kits were pitched to kids, so less painting, I suppose. I was a MOPAR guy in those days. My brothers in the frat had Chargers and Barracudas; my roommate had a 440 GTX. Me, a 68 Charger. Hot machines all.
  24. Canute
    Nicely done.
  25. Canute
    Any hints as to your playlist, sir?

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.
