    I did not have an engine for it ,so I took the front bank of 7 cylinders from a 1/32 Revell Beaufighter and sleeved them with aluminum tubing and wrapped with 22 gauge wire to simulate cooling fins.Brass wire serves as pushrods.Too heavy to fly,this will make an interesting ceiling hanger.

    I did not have the decals so I made stencils out of thin plastic and airbrushed them on. Worked well with some touch up required.
  23. philo426
    Yes indeed!Legos would be a great tool to make a building slip for Model ship building !
  24. philo426
    I used Lego plates and bricks as an assembly fixture to set the dihederal.

    I found the plans on line and took them to Kinkos to have them enlarged 200 percent.Most parts cut out of Midwest 1/16" sheet basswood.

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.
