    How did you do on the rollin'?
  2. cog
    Very well done. You aren't doing so bad yourself on the weathering, Yves. Painting rust is always difficult. You can do chipping, or use rust powder which you add with a brush (dry or moistened) or a combination. Spraying it all will be near impossible to get what you want. You should als take into account how the rust forms. Good effort though

    You will probably glue the chain down to the deck. If so cut the last eye at an angle in half and glue the half to the respective "openings". It will look somewhat ... natural ... Your buffing turned out quite nice!

    The only thing missing from the flight deck down seems to be the water ... weathering turned out real good
  5. cog
    we'll be waitin' (impatiently) so no worries mate. We'll try to jot down some nice posts in other buildlogs for ya
  6. cog
    There are probably two spare anchors stowed below decks

    You've got the time, a leisurly pace would be nice ... on the other hand, you did see Victory, and other ships which I still have to visit!
  8. cog
    Most likely, mate
  9. cog
    Yes, artillery, please don't start on that, still gives me headaches, and nightmares!
  10. cog
    You do not seem to have a problem aligning it. Rust colour over the primer, and chipping fluid on top of that, I presume. platforms look rather spiffy ... but for the final top coat, straight from the factory I might say

    Awards!?!?!? a prize! (a pair of cloggs no doubt ...) maybe this will help (slightly) (curtesy of navy.memorieshop.com) or have a look here and maybe this will help

    Those are hughe. Try them at 1/350, maybe that will eas your sight, and cramped fingers ... It is really odd you are missing stanchions, as normally such an omission wouldn't be made. Shouldn't there be a different part (maybe even plastic) which must be added in place of the stanchion?
  13. cog
    Hope not. That wood really be a pain. I keep my fingers crossed for you
  14. cog
    clogging ... you could use these ... not certain if these will solve the problem ...
  15. cog
    If you have two, Steve could use them on the Zebulon B Vance
  16. cog
    In all honesty, they looked like the old small children's trains with their short bodies and tall stacks and housing ... (yes I am that old)
  17. cog
    Japanese or American speed tours ...
  18. cog
    Ok MISS don't be gloomy
  19. cog
    Walk in the park! Cabins look a bit high to me ... as if the centre of gravity is coming way up, and will make the boat instable. Are those really that high?
  20. cog
    Maybe a UK meeting for Europe once finished ...
  21. cog
    I love those details, Patrick. Well done. THe shots taken trhough the ship look marvelous.
  22. cog
    Looks a bit like a cross section from a fishing smack ...
  23. cog
    You can scratch build it if you have a ladder and two railings leftovers from a previous build or from this one. The point is, the scratch build one doesn't look like the other one ...
  24. cog
    The Japanese did something likewise with one man subs, same frightening thought
  25. cog
    If not you'll have a wee bit of a challenge

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.
