Thank you so much Jo, it means a lot to me. I have put off modeling for too long and didn't know how much fun it would be to share on forums and make new friends. This is GREAT! This Arizona kit is very old and like Revell's Constitution many have built it before or many times. I wanted to build this diorama as the USS Arizona is now and as accurately as I can. I did visit her in 1973, when I was 12, (opps, dating myself) and was deeply affected. So, many years later, I will honor that memory and those who served her.

Once again, you're doing a great service to an older kit. Great upgrades and fantastic photos, we can all learn from your example. I have to ask, in one of the photos in post #13 there is a ship in the background, what ship is that?

Great work and wonderful research. Question, to you Greg or any navy guys, I am wanting to model WWII survivors and wanted to know what measure was used for post-war Spring of 1946?

Can't wait to see more! I plan on kibashing a 1/350 scale USS Hornet into the USS Enterprise someday, I'm sure I can learn some tips and tricks from your build.

I had started watched your build some time ago, and now I'm a member and gave you some likes. This is the first time I commented and hope you have found the time to work on your 'Connie'. I would love to see an update.

Did you find your part? I know what your talking about, it may be small, but how does it just disappear.

I will watch your build closely. I have already learned something about the 20mm/40mm's as I will need many when I work on my 1/350 USS Idaho in the future. Good fortune and can't wait to see more.

Started working on the layout, measuring and making a cutout for the mud line, also worked on the hull and the rear/aft deck.

Jo, I have been watching your build for some time now. I have given you some ‘likes’ along the way, but I think it is time to make a comment. I think you are a true asset to this forum. You are a very playful kitty cat and we both share a common sense of humor that leans to the dark side. I think that some of the guys have praised your work, expecting to say good job when in fact it is not, however, I do not think you truly realize how good your work is. It is fantastic! You should be very proud of yourself. Most modelers early works are destine to be dusty in the back corner of the display case. I think this build will be center stage for some time to come. Shane

I have slowly been working on the rear deck and barbette portion of the forward deck. And, a fellow modeler sent me some photo etch to use on my dock and memorial. Thanks, Denis!

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.
