Or dump 'em in a chalk pit ... When I see that paravane, and the one from Yamato ... a pitty Fly Hawk didn't have an upgrade for that item.

AMS ... I recently started to look for PE sets, before I look at the plastic foundation ... I do like those craines Mr Bunny. Haven't started at mine yet, but it will come soon. First I need to get back to the work bench!

Hello Clare, Let me know when you start on the temple. Wouldn't want to miss it!!! Cheers -
You made me feel double welcome! "Even better, as there are NO decent references I can't be proven wrong!" Well, that's another refreshing way of looking at things ... With your experience, you will come out with something scrumptious! Cheers

It seems I'm catching up constantly on your builds, Greg! You are adding some nice details for a plastic kit mediocre on details. I like that mast, and the full PE structures. I know from Fly Hawk they didn't replace the antenna "legs" on the Musashi either. Fortunately I had the Pontos. Your weathering will be a lot more compared to Yamato. What kind of paint are you using now - since you won't use Vallejo in your airbrush anymore.

Great details, Jesse! You still handle the small items very well.

Interesting topic, with all the digital misery we get thrown at us. Using a bird for fishing instead of a sonar. I can imagine the brine soaking of the nails to be creating a better hold for the nails. Rust makes a rough surface, so it should make a nail that much harder to remove. Tough cookie Mr Nasu! Got another interesting book for you, rather corpulent though. The Japanese House Heinrich Engel Pub. Charles E. Tuttle (Japan) ISBN 0-8048-0304-8 This was my first introduction to Japanese building. It has some very interesting joinery in it, which shows the genius of Japanese carpentry - I used some to make a closet/cupboard. I have seen a lot of woodworking, but us westerners can't compare to the orientals -
Thanks Denis. Pat, If he does, I'll have one for you too Could go simultaneously Greg, Finding WiFi is not the point, getting entrance to the network is a lot harder. Luckily I'm back home now. unfortunately, I've been working my hiney off to get a major software release finished ... not much building or spraying

Pat! Back from Canada? Stockholm was much more. Besides, I had a tremendous good guide on Saterday afternoon and Sunday. Mike showed me a lot of pearls, and I can't wait to go back to do some further exploring!!! Back has improved a lot. Hardly feel it anymore. Maybe walking through Stockholm did the trick, if so I'll get my physician to write me a recurring prescription to go there

As Denis wrote, Jesse. After painting them, the belaying pins won't show if they are made of wood or brass. Considering the quantity of rope for the rigging, they will be hardly visible ( size wise too)

Clare Glad it is to your liking. I had a hard time putting it aside to go to work, or bed. I've got Douglas Brooks' book which I enjoyed reading a lot, it doesn't surprise me he knows Azby. There is something appealing about the old ways they still practise their trades in Nippon. -
Patrick, Had to do some catching up. I like the pict where you hold her in front of the light. Nice progress on the interior too. Cheers

As Ken said. Have been off the air. Just got back ... pfff sore feet and shins, and a mind full of images Pictures of Musashi ... first need to get rid of my nagging employer. Even a long weekendoff seems to much to them!!!

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.
