    Wishing you a fast recovery, OC. No fun being banged up, with bad legs.

    The brass barrels really make your turrets pop, Greg. Very nice.
  3. Canute
    Me too. Just remember to release the switch and let the paddle thing stop before you take it out of the bottle. Knew a guy who duck-taped a paint bottle to his jigsaw. The bottle went sailing out of the tape with disastrous results.

    Patrick, thanks. Pretty light for AAA.
  5. Canute
    Sounds like heavy socks there, mate. But warm feet in the winter is a good feeling.😁

    Typical of short run kits like these with a lot of cleanup required. Going to follow these. What is the weapon on the Kfz.4? Early mobile AAA weapon.

    Tamiya Fine Primer in a spray can works well, goes on thin. It has fine size pigment. House paints are coarser, since they're formulated for covering parts of your 1 to 1 scale house. Make sure to mask the vessel so you don't spray paint where you don't want it to go.

    Like Mark says, looks OK to me. Proceed slowly and keep the glue blobs to a minimum. Enjoy yourself.

    John, my condolences, brother.

    Pretty posh; looks like a hotel room.

    Yeah, not bad for an air-dale, Hank. Those things go from bag into printer and back. I saw one of my co-workers drop a red cartridge on the floor/deck in our Mission Planning area once upon a time. Took hours of scrubbing to eradicate. Vowed never to do that.

    Oh, my buddy was the only one messing with the copiers. He came into our train club and offered the plate glass only. I think everybody took 2. Changing toner cartridges is as deep as I want to get.

    I got 2 pieces of glass from a Xerox tech who had removed them from decommissioned copiers. Good sized glass, so I glued down some sandpaper to one to sand parts. The other is used to square up assemblies while gluing. Cleanups are a single edge razor blade to errant glue blobs.
  14. Canute
    Sounds like a microscope or telescope. Multiple lenses? I have a loupe on my Optivisor and it magnifies, but depth of field is wonky.
  15. Canute
    Frustrating when stuff like that happens, OC. Good attitude.
  16. Canute
    Either one would be good. Northern Italy was nice, Germany was fun, too. If he doesn't like it in either, he's spending too much time on base.
  17. Canute
    That's what I said in post #19. get out the single strand version, too.
  18. Canute
    Yeah, for painting fine lines like canopy glass separators in 1/72 scale, 1 would do.
  19. Canute
    The build looks good, Mark. Nice sweet lines.
  20. Canute
    Coming along nicely. You need a 10/0 brush (I think that's the size), like OC has used. Two bristles. And use under lots of light and magnification. I need frequent breaks, due to concentrating so hard to paint something so fine.

    A long time ago, I was in the 307 Tac Fighter Squadron, flying Phantoms. In Homestead, Florida. Now, it's in Aviano AB, Italy, up north of Venice. That unit has a long and colorful history. Nice work, Javlin.👍
  22. Canute
    Nice results, Grant. Those hinge shots at the start of this update looked shaky, but everything looks nice and tight now. The leather looks really sharp. Quite the odyssey. 👌
  23. Canute
    Same here Lou. Can't like that.
  24. Canute
    Hmm, I just got into the British Riflemen book, but it's early days on the origin of the unit. May have to seek out the KGL books. You've sent me down another rabbit hole, mate.
  25. Canute
    Looking good, mate. Interesting fact you present. KGL was clean-shaven except for them. 🤔

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.
