    Hi All, Been awhile. 😀 I’ve had a guitar on the bench for a good month. Our weather has turned for the year, rain, wind and 40-50s are here for 4-5 months, so will have more time on the bench. Is the place for building confession? 😆 I am learning so much on this build. I think you have to be half card modeling engineer and draftsman to catch everything on the drawings (if you can call them that). I was at a loss on how to roll small items, like landing gears, tubes, exhaust pipes etc. and then I spot this on the page… The part that says print on PAPER… not card stock. That would make rolling easier! 😆😖 Then I couldn’t get my body sections to come together nicely so I looked at some other kits and they had connecting strips that were not just pieces of straight paper or card. So I cut the connecting strip to look like: Wow, what a difference which leads us to this. 😀

    Thanks Robert, Yes it’s a room filled with memories from my youth. I collect things and have several modeling hobbies; wooden ships, plastic models (mostly aircraft), metal models, RC helicopters and planes… and I build guitars. Now not all that stuff at the same tome you know. It was cumulative over 40+ years of getting into this and that. 😁

    The cave is one of the small bedrooms in our house. When we built it, the kids were all gone and I declared this room for my hobby endeavors. Right now the work bench is a card modeling aircraft factory.

    I see your a clock collector. Do you refurbish or just collect? I used to build camel back clocks for a business venture.

    At least they gave the guy in back seat a stick and pedals. 🙂

    I’m aboard for this one! 👍😀
  18. Dave_E
    I can’t decide if your a wooden ship modeling master or a card modeling master… both!? 😁
  19. Dave_E
    Way cool! 👍🙂

    Thanks Chris, that’s my plan. Watching a few YouTube videos as I proceed. 👍

    Whatever level of paint you have on the above picture… in terms of realism the graininess is about what that “poured steel” looked like (tanks I’ve seen in person anyway). Nice job. 😀

    Happy Saturday All, Slow progress on the Warhawk (lot’s to do while the weather is nice 🙂), but here it is. Front fuselage and cockpit installed. The bulging front end is very hard to do. I’m discovering the “3 foot viewing rule” is working nicely. 😆
  23. Dave_E
    I’m in. 🥤🍿😀
  24. Dave_E
    To thine own self be true… I appreciate that. ☺️ Can’t wait to see what’s next!
  25. Dave_E
    I feel ya Chris! My first attempt of the P-40 got to a point where I stopped. My second attempt is underway and hearing your story now is something I am also experiencing. Kit quality seems to matter! 😊

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.
