You're off to a good start. Two tidbits of information regarding photos: 1) We have an onboard photo resizer -- the control panel for that will pop up when you double-click on the photo after you insert it; 2) You can add multiple photos to each post if you'd like. Cheers! P.S. Photo size is a matter of taste. I resize all of my photos to 640 x whatever to keep them a uniform width -- medium-sized photos seem just about right to my eye.

Update: Fillets are done. These are always a tricky part of any airplane build, and these were even trickier than usual because there is a cutout for the wheel wells that leaves a strip only about 1 mm wide at that point for attachment. And now we go back to the empennage. So far, I have only finished off the internal frames for the horizontal stabilizers. That's all for now!

Midwest Maine Peapod for Next Build?
ccoyle replied to JacquesCousteau's topic in Wood ship model kits
Someone with personal knowledge of this kit can correct me if I'm wrong, but I suspect that this kit isn't 'planked' in a manner that will be applicable to the more usual POB or POF types of models. It is probably built over a mold, and the internal structure is added after the basic hull is removed from the mold. Cool boat, though. -

Check this pinned topic for a reminder. But don't fret -- I don't keep a record of past violations! 😉 -

Wow, great job! (I had to delete your tags, though. We don't use tags other than 'done' in this area.) -
Nicely done, Dan! She looks the part. Cheers!

I'm not sure what they applied, but it's supposed to replace some of the binding agents that are lost from the original pavement due to wear and exposure.

A bit more progress. I needed to take a slight detour and make the rudder so that I could confirm the positioning of the vertical stabilizer skin. Unlike many kits, the rudder has no internal framing. And then the vertical stabilizer was skinned. And that's it for the moment. Next up will be the wings' internal framing, but first I need to take a break and watch the Champions League final (I'm strictly a neutral for this match).

Congratulations, Jeff! She's a beauty.

Good luck on this project! I built the 1/100 scale Agassiz from Modelik many years ago. I also have the HMV kit of USS England on pause; it's another product of Agassiz's designer, Darius Lipinski. He has a few 3D-printed parts available for Agassiz at his Shapeways store. https://www.shapeways.com/product/AWDN9DUAN/agassiz-js-0005-upgrade-for-paper-model?optionId=62825248&li=marketplace

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.
