    Second layer of epoxy is added and is now curing. Once that's done, I'll be flipping her right side up again and will finish up the uppers - ready to shift here to her new home in Ontario in a couple of weeks! NS

    Fresh layer of West System Epoxy laid up on the hull tonight. We'll see if she needs a second coat.

    Wait a sec...looking at that box art...the flight deck on that carrier is angled. That wasn't a thing until after WW2! Were they still using Tiger Moth aircraft for carrier deck landing practice in the 50's?
  25. NavyShooter
    And....the fresh layer of black paint has been applied.
  26. NavyShooter
    Well, spring is springing....so....time to get out the St Thomas and tidy her up. There may be a 02 May Deadline on repairs...so....she's shifted to the fore-front for repair work. I took her out and did some sanding, you can see the damage to the bottom of the hull that the duck poop in the duck pond did. She's now sanded clean, including the bulged area that bubbled off.
  27. NavyShooter
    Solving the infrastructure problem before going to the details - good plan. Looks like a cozy old house - what part of the world are you in? Guessing Borden-ish if your partner is with 400 Tac Hel. I may be visiting out thataways in September-ish. Good luck with the Mossie!
  28. NavyShooter
    That's spectacular! I love the detail and how it all ties together. Really well done. You've created a masterpiece! NS
  29. NavyShooter
    Very dystopian...and realistic! A great build! I had to go back and catch up on the whole thread. Well done!
  30. NavyShooter
    I've got most of the 'bits' glued on now. Masts, guns, crane booms, then running gear and RC equipment left to go. I'm generally pleased with how she looks.
  31. NavyShooter
    The Liberty has now been joined by a Park - see here: Park Class vs Liberty Ship - Line drawings/comparisons? - Discussions for Ships plans and Project Research. General research on specific vessels and ship types.. - Model Ship World™ The line drawings have turned into a visual modification of the Liberty hull into a Park, focused on the upper decks.
  32. NavyShooter
    Well, launched in late June, pulled out by chopping through the ice to get to her in late December. She survived well - a bunch of the damage came from the recovery process - the park staff were somewhat chilly and hurried. There was a crack in the upper decks, and she had a full load of water in the hull - I poured it out, then had to dry it for a bit when I got her home. I'll have to do some minor repairs, some touch-up painting, then it's a matter of getting her up to Ontario. 6 months in the pond and this is how she looks. I'm generally pleased.
  33. NavyShooter
    Starting with the gray!
  34. NavyShooter
    So. As I wait for the paint to dry on the hull so I can add some Gray/camo finish to it, I'm also pondering the flight deck. The flight decks of these little CVEs were wood - however - most of the pictures I see of them show them being not the natural wood colour, rather, they're gray/blue-gray. What would be the right colour for this flight deck? NS
  35. NavyShooter
    Here's the hull after some 400 grit sanding today...and another light coat of red paint. I'm pleased. Now to wait a few days to dry.

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.
