Got all caught up on this tonight Brad, This is going to be and impressive ship when you get her in the water, as well as on the shelf. It is not easy to cover both worlds but from what I see you will do it easily. What is also nice is that you already have a tug in the same scale to help with ship handling! Looking forward to future installments.

Vincent Black Shadow by CDW - Revell - 1:12 Scale

I have done this as well for a couple of my 1/24 early Ferrari's, even though they were from kits you used to be able to buy. It is not easy to do even from a kit. Yours turned out great, congratulations. -
Welcome Igor I am looking forward to seeing your work. Is there any chance you live close to Cherkasy? I have a close friend who grew up and lived there but is currently in the US. слава україні

Great work. I will find following your site with interest. слава україні

Haven't been around lately for a number of reasons but catching up on this build in a binge read was worth it.

F-86F-30 Sabre by Egilman - Kinetic - 1/32nd scale
lmagna replied to Egilman's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
There are a few useful things the older generation can still do in our old age other possible infirmities, and advice on how to survive society is high on the list. Sometimes "Been there, done that and came out the other side" is a powerful persuader. I think she will be in good hands. -

My sympathies are with you. It took me almost a month to empty out and furnish our third floor to make it into a studio apt for our Ukrainian house guest and her son to live. Made my older grandson jealous when we were done! But we had offered it to him years ago and he chose the guest bedroom closer to the kitchen instead. Too late now! Thanks for the measurement of the base. Now I know how much space to clear to make room in my house! -
Back in 1979 we had almost the same situation here in our area north of Seattle. Back then we had a few hobby shops but little else to support the model boat fans. There was a relatively small club of primarily static ship builders that met monthly in Seattle but little else that we knew about. I happened to run into another RC boater while running my boat one weekend and we decided to hold a regatta for RC boats on our local pond. We posted flyers in all of the local hobby shops but on the day of the event still had no idea how many would show up. It ended up raining that day as well, but we still had over twenty five boaters show up that we didn't even know existed! That event lead to the eventual establishment of the Northwest RC Ship Modelers that still has about 80 members and has meetings and events every month, and even more on some months. This all started with only two guys who happened to meet on a local pond with little more than a common interest.

Nice to see what you ended up with Mike. A true masterpiece to be proud of. For smoke you might want to look into fine needle felting wool, or roving wool depending on your need, in dark gray or black My wife does a lot of needle felting projects and I have found a number of uses and as it is already died no need to worry about the color. Congratulations

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.
