Greg, Not included Right, it's the material of the kit's plastic parts itself ... should have known it was that easy!!! Found the description of it on a British site, and how to use it (http://www.aeroscale.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=146894&page=1) Let's blame it on the language barrier ... (or that I'm simply stupid)

Hello Mark, I'm glad you got rid of the aircraft carier, a period ship is so much nicer don't you think!? She really does you proud, Mark. The wood looks marvelous and she stands very proud in her cradle. Give my best wishes to Janet. 2017 should have started a lot better for her! Cheers

Thanks for the tip, Greg. In this case I'm hard pressed to cut even that to size ... I will have a go at it though Cheers

Greg, I thought you would have some fabulous solution ... bummer ... I found one in my keyboard though! Got another bummer: Yesterday evening (no bottle isn't empty), I bent a piece a bit to far, and had to correct it ... now it's two parts instead of one ... Will have to try CA but doubt if I can manage it, ordered some spare parts to. At this size they should, at least for the small items, add some spares ... No pictures yet, still not ready. It feels like one of Hercules' challenges! Cheers

Ever so right Sam. For the gun one piece alone has 12 bends folds to it two others four, and one more three two ... hope to get them done without loosing any. Even a carpet monster won't be able to find them ... Besides that, if I overbend and correct it breaks ... no extra's so I'll be in dire straights so to speak ... No beverages but coffee with these parts!!!!! Cheers

Tought you wouldn't be finished. I can still see some deck ... and you've got some netting space left ...

Not much done last week. Have done the base of the 25mm AA guns. Hope to finish the gun parts this weekend ... repetitive work ... hardly! got some more tweezers and pliers

Jesse One step at the time, get as good as you can get. If some minor modelling helps, go and do it. We'll be patient ... or at least try to be

Wrong topic OC, you should have posted here ... You are getting old I don't remember if I ever had any ... Greg, What needle do you use for the shadows, and what will you use for the covering layer?

Well done, Mike. A multifunctional desk! Your daughter will be glad with the improvement of her bench

Greg, If you want to make a longer straight line with you airbrush, or a paintbrush for that matter, use a stick to stabalise your hand. You've got two options (depending on the space you've got). You can fixate your hand/wrist on the stick and pull it sideways, or fixate the stick and move your hand over it using it as a rail. The former goes for painting with a brush when you need to have a stable position and you can't put your hand down where you want to, e.g. when correcting on the superstructure when it is fit to the hull Cheers Carl

North - South, or East - West ... There is a very large difference, at least to Dutchmen (one and a half times it's width is it's height) I checked he distance, but you are off by 150 km largest length, Greg. Australia is far bigger then you presumed Cheers

Get a magnifier Mr Bunny. I know what you mean with the crosseyedness, had it myself until I got one

Robin, You haven't seen the surface of our dining table. Now I mention it, neither have I for a long time (Sorry for hijacking your log Greg, couldn't resist ... )

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.
