Jack, It looks like you're off to a great start! My brother-in-law purchased the same kit a couple of years ago but hasn't started building it yet. (How do you like the kit and instructions so far?) Keep up with the photos, I look forward to watching your build. Cheers, Tim

Popeye, My original choice was to paint it gray, the color it was delivered to the Navy from Elco, but a "Little Voice" in the back of my heas says paith as the "Dragon PT Boat".... Cheers, Tim

Popeye, What scale is your PT Boat kit? If it's 1/48 scale you should be able to get some parts from BlueJacket if you have any missing from your kit! Cheers, Tim

Thanks Russ, It's been a joy to work on, BlueJacket Ship Crafters did a fantast job with this kit. I'm also currently working on their half hull kit of the Endeavor, that kit is also exceptional, which makes me look forward to building their kit of the USS Kidd. Thanks again for the kind words! Tim

Greetings, As you can see, I didn't get the hull painted. It seems like you have been hearing the same old story, actually the weather hasn't been good for spray painting on my screened in porch. There has been too much wind blowing, and I really need a calm day to use the air brush. So, I figured I would go on to the next step. In my earlier post I was working the chart house and cockpit to the correct height, once that was completed I needed to make sure the chart house conformed to the camber of the hull. I accomplished this by placing a piece of sandpaper on the deck and slowly worked it back and forth until it had a snug fit to the hull. A word of warning, I probably wont be able to paint the hull this weekend, my daughter is getting married on Saturday and the Admiral has given me my marching orders... Cheers, Tim

I agree! Anytime you can do the actual work rather than simulating, always looks better in the finished product! Cheers, Tim

Nice job on the planking! I look forward to seeing the second layer of planks on the hull, if you do as good of a job on the second layer she will look great! Keep up the good work!!! Cheers, Tim

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.
