It's grown some since I lived there in the early 70's. Tioga, Texas, the birthplace of Gene Autry and home of Clark's Barbecue. "see it and get bored with it" Absolutely not, never.

Brian, you might be able to find a place to display the Cairo in the bustling megatropolis of Tioga.
-
Brian, when you finally finish you could have photocopies of the images showing the internal details displayed alongside/with the Cairo. Some of my favorite remembrances of your Cairo build are the engine room with the boilers and engines.

Brian, fantastic and I do mean fantastic work! The bell and flag locker are super nice and the padlocks are ingenious.

As kids we blew up more nonsense with black powder, empty Old Spice deodorant stick tubes, and a car battery. When I did my stint at Camp Lejeune AIT I loved the explosive training class and playing with C-4. One man's terrorist is another man's Marine.

Keith, sorry it didn't remove the nylon coating. The Acetone I use comes in a metal container. I know it dissolves plastic because years ago when first started doing fiberglass work and using Acetone for the first time I made the mistake of pouring Acetone in a plastic container and had the bottom immediately eaten away. Since then I've been careful when using plastic around Acetone as I've had other incidents of plastic being melted. My experience with chemicals has been OJT, using a chemical to preform a certain function but one not necessarily mentioned on the manufactures label. One time I accidentally mixed chlorine crystals and antifreeze resulting in instant flames. I say this as it's vitally important to read and follow the manufactures warnings and use at all times. Edit: I Googled what would melt/remove nylon and there are chemicals that will work but they are dangerous to work with. Keith, is removing the nylon coating windmill tilting?

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.
