    Thanks OC. Yes it was last bit of the canopy and I'm surprised the first bit of this kit I've dropped! But at least it doesn't look to out of place without it.😏

    They look fine nell bombers😊👍, have to say my favourite Japanese aircraft are the val dive bomber and the kate torpedo bomber .

    Many thanks CapnMac. This first plastic kit I've done for 40+ years and I got to say they are much better now with the fit.

    I'll have clothes on under the clear coat so it doesn't cause offence 🤣🤣 Thanks Kevin, Some is freehand some I did cut up bits of masking tape. Thankyou both for your advice👍

    I was able to get into the workroom today and got some more done on the dauntless, basically there is only the decals to go on. The canopy painting went ok, not brilliant, definitely won't win any prizes for neatness but it's passable. (Except the rear piece which I broke when I dropped it on the floor then stepped on as I got up to retrieve it 🤬) Thanks for the kind words and likes. Cheers 😁👍 Before go I have a question, can I put a matt clear coat on before the decals or after?

    Nice Jack. 😁

    I found the same thing, I ended up stripping some heavy duty earth cable for the .5mm copper. She's gonna look good considering the problems you had at the start with the de-lamination. Great job😁👍

    Looking nice, bad luck with the cockpit decal, it's a bummer when you can't get on with things😕🤨

    Eamonn that is a very nice shipyard, I'm very jealous oh well I'll just go back to my tiny corner of the spare room 😥😂 I expect great things to come out of @ untidyshipyards😁😁 You and yours stay safe👍

    Thanks Kevin😁 yes the uk distributor came good and sent the parts, probably waited 3 or 4 weeks

    It looks a bit like Blackbeards Queen Anne's Revenge???
  17. Edwardkenway
    It's not cheating it's being sensible 🤣😋 Thanks for looking in 👍

    Yep I've seen the film, really good! But for a great Pacific campaign war film you got go a long way to beat Tora, Tora, Tora. If they remade that today with CGI effects it'd be a blockbuster 😁😉

    It's a gorgeous little boat, you have done great work with Chris's kit😀

    Tis the masking, I'm too tight to buy a canopy paint mask so have attempted to make my own from tamiya masking tape, a lot of tiny little squares and triangles to cut out but it is getting there, just 6 more pieces to make! My scalp and few hairs are undamaged as is the canopy, so don't worry unduly gentlemen. Thankyou for your concern over my mental health 🤪😱

    Thanks OC

    Hi again Eamonn, your fair cracking on now!😉 How's the new shipyard now that you've had a bit of time to settle in?? I'm looking forward to seeing Ballahoo in all her glory. Cheers 😁👍

    Another day of lockdown and I'm glad to say the weather is quite decent so been outside sanding Winchelsea bulkheads. I've not forgotten about the dauntless but only doing little bits at a time so I've still got something to do in the coming days! So the main landing gear has been fitted and I've attempted to make a paint mask for the canopy. For the likes and comments I thank you. 👍 Cheers 😁 I'll post some photos of the canopy if it works out, but for now take my word for it that it is fiddly, frustrating and may get binned amid muttered cursing and hair pulling 🤬(scalp scratching)

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.
