    It looks more like a bird, when it has it's beak!

    CDW, it is a single action and siphon. I got my airbrush in July 2019, that's the one I used on this build, but I also got a double action with the compressor purchased in Feb 2021!

    Started build and used my airbrush for the first!

    The last time I finish a model was back in the 1900's, 1982 to be precise, and that model was a Monogram 1959 Corvette. So, I thought I might try another car.

    Built this model when I was a kid, 50 yrs ago, your build makes me want to build it again!
  6. SigEp Ziggy
    Nice Work! I am building the the plastic 'Jolly Roger' and wanted to compare to your build.
  7. SigEp Ziggy
    Excellent Work! Can't wait to see more.
  8. SigEp Ziggy

    I haven't tried drilling out the barrel yet, but I did glue the cockpit in and joined the upper and lower fuselage together!

    Egilman, drilling it out is a great idea! Thank You!

    I added a piece of brass tube for a gun barrel. Big mistake. After researching, it should just be a hole, as the barrels are farther back. I would remove it, however, it would be difficult without damage, so incorrect it will be.

    Finally finished the wings

    I did get a little farther on the wings, dark oil wash, clear coat, then gray and white oils to break up the monotone color

    Of coarse I did not finish in time for the show, but I still went to the show Here are a few of the photos I took at the show...

    I will try to fix some problems with the kit, first I will make new decks and add 1/350 scale wood decks I removed the plastic from the bottom of the kit decks so I can use them as patterns
  17. SigEp Ziggy
    I went to the print shop and here is the Revell kit mocked-up on the scale photo
  18. SigEp Ziggy
    Great Build, are you going to post a video of it running?
  19. SigEp Ziggy
    I've painted and decaled the wings and will weather them using oils for the first time!?!
  20. SigEp Ziggy
    The plan is to build a model that will look like this I will use this photo of a USS Vestal resin model to build a scratch built model in 1/429 scale
  21. SigEp Ziggy
    It has been suggested that I do a 'Before the Attack' model as well. My wife has OK-ed the purchase of another Revell model, I found one at Hobby Lobby for only $15
  22. SigEp Ziggy
    I have to hit the floor running ... So, here are some photos
  23. SigEp Ziggy
    I plan on building and finishing this model in time for the IPMS show in Boise, Idaho
  24. SigEp Ziggy
    Interesting way to display, Great Work!
  25. SigEp Ziggy
    As always, amazing 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.
