    Fantastic job on that net! Very well done and your choice of material was spot on.
  2. Glen McGuire
    "DonKeith Oaty". I'm dying!!! 🤣🤣🤣
  3. Glen McGuire
    Yes, Keith! Definitely a better shade of boxcar red. At least for my eye.
  4. Glen McGuire
    That's what we do!
  5. Glen McGuire
    I think the burnt sienna is too brown if you are trying for boxcar red. I envision it more red than brown like the pics below. I would do a base of a reddish-brown (a bit more more red than brown) and add some weathering techniques.

    Epic save, Steven! Looks great.
  7. Glen McGuire
    The tarmac and the figure really make a nice presentation. Wonderful job, Mike!
  8. Glen McGuire
    Hey Bob. You've overcome things that are a whole lot tougher than a piece of upside down photo-etch! I doubt anyone would have noticed had you not pointed it out.
  9. Glen McGuire
    I just discovered this build log and got caught up on it. You really are a master with paint. I have learned so much from you. Also, the landing gear build was superlative. Well, done, Mike!
  10. Glen McGuire
    Beautiful work, Peter! Very impressive!!
  11. Glen McGuire
    She is looking grand, Bob. Full speed ahead! BTW, does PFC Pile have his cousin Goober hiding in the shop somewhere?
  12. Glen McGuire
    That bare hull is a work of art!
  13. Glen McGuire
    Nope. You got me on that one, Keith.
  14. Glen McGuire
    That's a nice job carving out that transom design, Chris!
  15. Glen McGuire
    Same here! I think a bottle project would be a great way to keep the momentum going!

    I remember a comment from someone when I first joined this forum regarding screwups. I don't remember the exact words nor who it was that made the comment, but the gist of it was, "Don't spend too much time worrying about your mistakes. It's wood. It can be fixed." And yours is just the latest example. Keep your head up and keep moving forward, Bob!
  17. Glen McGuire
    Wonderful work on that keel bow curve! Looks superb.
  18. Glen McGuire
    Just like your Tennessee - very clean and crisp build. Looks great, Keith!
  19. Glen McGuire
    That is awesome!
  20. Glen McGuire
    Your cat needs to get busy and clear the workshop of all those Canadian rats!
  21. Glen McGuire
    The picture in the previous post definitely look like a bracket of some type. And the pole in the above looks like its attached at the same point. But I don't know what the usage would be.
  22. Glen McGuire
    Looks like there is paint rubbed off of it. Maybe a rubbing knob in addition to the rubbing strip that rest just beneath??
  23. Glen McGuire
    Thanks, Gary! And yes, I bowed to the pressure you put on me with your "Smoke, eh?" comment a while back. So I blame you for the additional gray hairs that effort gave me! 😃
  24. Glen McGuire
    I just boarded, ready for the adventure. Let er rip, Peter!!
  25. Glen McGuire
    Oh you will love this even more, Keith. You've also reminded me of one of my son's favorite computer games back around the same time. It was called . . . wait for it . . . He had to guide a group of waddling penguins successfully through a maze of obstacles and past a zookeeper, leading them to safety. Here's a screenshot from one of the game maps. I may have to reorder that game!

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.
