    Good save on the copper Kevin, it will all blend in time. Your Indy is a fine looking ship!
  2. AJohnson
    Hi David, I always enjoy your build logs, so also be tagging along.
  3. AJohnson
    Welcome to MSW.

    Welcome to MSW!

    Love the weathering on the chain Greg, looks very realistic!
  6. AJohnson
    Amazing work again Chris, looks really neat.
  7. AJohnson
    Ah, “sleep” you say, plotting their next dastardly deed to snag one of your builds I think. Watch them like a Hawk; remember 1/72 tanks are the same size as a Mouse. 🐭
  8. AJohnson
    Yeah I think you have the culprit, looks a proper “Bond Villian”, but does that make you Ernst Blofeld?! 😆
  9. AJohnson
    That has come out very well Alan, I have some small ww2 ship models with loads of P.E. and I keep looking in the boxes and putting them away again! 😆 You might have inspired me to take the plunge with one! And as for that missing mast, isn’t that just so typical, we have all been there! 🤣
  10. AJohnson
    Congratulations on finishing. A great looking model.
  11. AJohnson
    Hi Phil, I have just come across this log and glad I have as I have the same to build for my HMS Sparkler, your looks really good
  12. AJohnson
    Hi Dan, Good to see a log update, so please yes continue with them 😁, I know how you feel when you mention looking at the Masters at work on other logs; particularly the Demi-gods that inhabit the Scratch build part of MSW! . But for us lesser mortals I think ours logs are much more of a "support network" and can be a bit of fun as well. You DoK is looking very good, I'm slowly getting around to thinking I should re-start one of my ship builds one day...

    It is so annoying when parts disappear! It happens nearly every build I do, I use little tubs with lids to store small and completed parts in, but still stuff goes missing! Indeed Murphy's law will prevail, you will find it one day when Iron Duke has been finished! 😆 Your Duke does look very good, so intricate!
  14. AJohnson
    What a beautiful model you have made Mike!
  15. AJohnson
    Hi Dave, Did this build stop? I'm not throwing stones because I live in a glass house with two paused builds in it! 😆 Hope you can do updates one day as your build was looking good! 👍
  16. AJohnson
    Update time. The interior is done, just need to glue the fuselage together and hide it all! 😆 I didn't spend too long on this with it being black, so used the kit decals for the instruments, picked a few instruments out in various white, yellow or red highlights and a gentle bit of weathering. I did find a set of P.E. seatbelts in the spares box, so pressed them into use, with a re-paint from canvas to blue. Thanks for looking in and the likes.

    Hi Mike it is going together very well so far, the Walrus you have a log of is also on my list of Airfix 1/48s, along with their Anson & Blenheim! Did you finish you Walrus?
  18. AJohnson
    Really nice finish and an interesting subject.
  19. AJohnson
    Great finishing touches David, looking forward to seeing the ensign hoisted!
  20. AJohnson
    Yes I think scaled up most kit panel lines you could comfortable lose your keys in! I think an acknowledgment that there is some "artistry" in the inclusion and treatment of panel lines in kits that is down to personal taste and not necessarily realism. But whatever you enjoy doing is the thing. 😁
  21. AJohnson
    I did go back and check my build notes and why I added them, WH364 (85 Squadron) did have them, the airframe still survives; probably why Airfix chose it as an option. Picture for reference (prior to its museum days. )
  22. AJohnson
    Welcome to MSW Jon! Really nice looking model!
  23. AJohnson
    Brilliant, thank you. EG!
  24. AJohnson
    I'm not 100% sure, somewhere in the back of my mind I recall reading they were some kind of visual aid; hence the yellow colour, but not sure why? Certainly not wing fences for reducing turbulence and I don't think anything to do with communication(radio.) My go to on MSW is @Egilman who is the font of all knowledge for things with wings! 😁
  25. AJohnson
    Very impressive Alan, as OC says it is really coming together well.

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.
