Looks great! Where did you get the bollards? I was going to cast some made from scratch for my Arizona Memorial build, but that is box scale 1/429. Also, I will check how many links per inch the walmart jewelry chain is.

Wow, I have been reading through your build for the last few months silently and just got to the beginning of your hardship. I feel bad for you and wish some good fortune your way. Us modelers can stick together through thick and thin. It sounds like you are in good hands regarding your laptop, good luck.

Looks Great Denis, I love the colors and the details, can't wait to see her finished. Does anyone have PE railing they don't need or want to sell? I need them for the railings on the Memorial and the dock I will have to scratch build.

Looks really good, Denis. I cut up my no3 turret, so I can't offer it, if you wanted to do a re-do. I sill have one untouched, if you want it?

I ordered some 1/400 scale people from and architectural supply company, so there will be visitors on the memorial. Worked a little on the destruction of the Arizona, I split the sides on the hulls to bow them, and started modifying the rear deck.

I have been working on, and receiving parts in the mail for, the Arizona Memorial. First I got the moorings from Model Monkey. Then I found a photo I will use for the diorama. And lastly, I started working on the no2 turret, the mud lines on the hull and received the Memorial from Shapeways.

You made me laugh! I had a flash back to when Moe said 'Niagara Falls... slowly I turned... step by step... inch by inch...' I wish people still watched the classics, Three Stooges, Our Gang, Laurel and Hardy (which I remember seeing on a reel to reel projector at Straw Hat Pizza Palace).

I have done some work on the Arizona. I cut the hull as I had marked them, cut up the main forward deck, drilled holes in the nos. 3 and 4 barbettes, cut the bow off, removed the no. 2 barbett from the secondary deck. Also, I did a mock-up of the damaged ship.

USS Reuben James (DE-153) Buckley class destroyer escort, just thought this model was a Buckley class and that would be a given. My bad.
-
Popeye or should I call you Dennis, anyhow you mentioned your Hood build, did you do a build log?
-
Excellent work. I love the paint. I wish to build this same model as the Reuben James. Thanks for sharing your build.

Based on the drawings, I marked how much of the hull needs to be removed to replicate the damage from the magazine explosion.

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.
