    Last time I heard they were in administration - search MSW - there is already a topic on this -there may be updates.

    Its his deadpan look that always gets me. Funny guy I think he did all own stunts - some pretty dangerous situations in that small segment alone.

    Has anyone ever considered a MSW sanctioned group build for a plastic model kit? - This was not in the voting options.

    Quality HD photographs and I am still struggling to find any faults - those railings and stairs look magnificent. I would have been scared to fit the railing until I had fitted all the other parts - Can I assume you have appropriate above the line controls in place 😉

    I Model Kit brings up the many alternatives for SC03 - using the software the best matches I can see from the main brands are Tamiya XF75 or TS66 Val Air 71.050 AK 733 All are very slightly darker but I am certain you would never get an exact match when switching between brands.

    I use the Tamiya pin vise - their model 74112 is their best one as it takes 0.1mm to 3.1mm bits https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/74112pinvise_d_r/index.htm If you shop around you shouldn't have to pay more than $17 for it.

    I use the H&S Evolution AL Plus (Gravity Feed) with a Hang Sen Compressor - the Airbrush cost more than the compressor! You are paying for top quality with the Airbrush but you get great after sales service. Irrespective I have seen people with $25 airbrushes produce top quality work. Iwata is another popular airbrush. Badger are produced in the States - they have great videos on Youtube - you should spend the time and watch one of their airbrush guides. The compressor was a little over $100 - if you are thinking of cutting corners and getting a cheap garage compressor - don't ......unless you are going to buy the whole family ear plugs.

    According to Scalemates the 2006 version is a rebox, and it could be of the 1961 kit, therefore not much or indeed anything has changed. Of course there may be other versions in between that have not made it to Scalemates yet. I also noticed there is a detail up set for the guns - not sure if its still available. Anyway here is the link for the newer kit - https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-05603-civil-war-steam-ship-uss-kearsarge--103477 with kit reviews and walkarounds and of course your version https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-h-391-uss-kearsarge--194949.

    Sorry $700 was an understatement or maybe a different seller - its over a $1,000 with PP - Maybe you should put it back in the box and get it on Ebay Anyway here it is https://www.ebay.com/itm/1960-S-REVELL-USS-KEARSARGE-MODEL-KIT-No-H-391-1200-CIVIL-WAR-STEAM-SLOOP-SHIP/123317340811?hash=item1cb6494a8b:g:9eQAAOSwUZZbdu3p

    Great work Danny. Puts my current efforts on the Tamiya 1/72 spitfire to shame .
  22. Richmond
    Can anyone comment on applying clear coats to models when living in the tropics? would humidity be a factor with clear finishes? Regards Richmond

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.
