    How about just making a horn that is in perspective of the structure.

    Melt & stretch plastic sprue from model kit........ like making a antenna for a model tank....... bingo you have your horn. the horn would look sweet on it.

  25. TOM G
    DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP....... Take a long break, review things. And when you are no longer fustrated come back to the work bench, and it will all begin to fall into place.😉
  26. TOM G
    That's the way to go.👍
  27. TOM G
    Have you edge bent the plank...... useing alcohol and a hair dryer ?
  28. TOM G
    Are you using a set of ships curves when cutting your planks ?
  29. TOM G
    Go to you tube...... type in herbs to improve eyesight...... you can find these herbs on ebay. I use herbs and they work.

    Look's like what is happening is the air brush needle point tip is loading up. ( this reduces your volume output making a dryer coat ) This will realy hapen bad when you set the air brush to the side, waiting for flash time between coats. Take the front end apart clean it, and if your going to set the brush to the side for flash time.... spray Windex through it. Also make sure you have the right needle in the brush, you want the one for a high volume cause your covering a large area.

    You can use , Pledge floor care in a air brush and get a good shine.
  32. TOM G
    I always get amazed at how you can cut your stock at such high tolorences.👍

    I made a model back in my 30's.......... But she dump'd me for a rich guy. 😟

    Great looking build ! I have this kit, and the first thing i noticed was that life boat..... ( went in search of ) and found the prize. I think in time the vinyl strips will loose their grip and start to curl. I've built models where i had to drop the ball on...... But it haunts you, every time you look at the model you see that one area that is not in perspective. These life boat kits are plank on frame, they have the length you need. Get them at model expo type in life boats in the search box. 🙂

    spray slow dry lackuer thinner over it..... you might have to do it 2 to 4 times you will see it slowy disapear . don't flood it , one pass at a time, and wait between passes till the surface is dry to the touch.
  36. TOM G
    Your skill's run very deep...... Great work.👍

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.
