    @Chuck Seiler I think we can safely assume that she will not be ready by summer. Most folks would say we're half done when the cannon, anchors and deck fittings are all rigged. I hope to move aloft in the next couple months, I hope to build three ship's boats, and I haven't made any decisions on sails at this point. So still a long way to go I'm afraid. But she should be impressive to work on in the booth by summer! Steve

    Whew! The holidays. Am I right? So here we are 4 months later with remarkably little to show for the time. But to @Chuck Seiler I can attest I have indeed got the rudder and tiller squared away. (At least mostly anyway!) Starting the new year correctly at the shipyard with a safety brief, the assembled staff paid keen attention. Here is the rudder installation completed. The devil being in the details, we have: The pinned "Wood lock" is installed with a removable pin. The Wood Lock prevents the rudder from unshipping (falling off). And of course if it did unship, the Rudder Pendants (brass chains) keep the rudder close to the to ship to facilitate repairs. And of course the tiller yoke. If you remove the pin, the tiller yoke can slide out of the rudder head. From the external bumpers up and the whole deck/bulkheads/rails have 3 coats of wipe on satin polyurethane clear coat. When cured, we will be ready to start some rudimentary rigging (tiller rigging and guns to start). Thanks for looking in, and wishing everyone great new year! Steve

    Wow Phil! Not on topic but I had not seen your Hannah before. She is a beautiful ship. Your card-fu is impressive Phil.
  25. Coyote_6
    @ddp. Crazy. Yeah, my buddy had already assembled and painted following Tamiya's incorrect instructions - he was up against a time crunch so I wasn't going to mention it and put more pressure. But then it did come up and so I showed him some references - he just hasn't fixed her yet. His Enterprise is still a "work in progress" but good enough to show today. Yeah so many different aspects to show with the Yorktown class. I will do the 1/700 Hornet (Tamiya) with the B-25s (Trumpeter) and that will likely be it. (Unless I decide I need my own Midway Enterprise!!)

    And displayed in the office for Pearl Harbor Day (actually tomorrow, a Saturday so displaying December 6th this year) with my friend's Enterprise. Glad we did them. Enterprise preparing to launch... Yorktown... Enterprise with Yorktown in background... Hornet is on order with some 1/700 B-25s! Thanks for looking in.
  27. Coyote_6
    Jason - Beautiful work. Thank you for the detailed photos. Very informative. She looks great!
  28. Coyote_6
    Not sure how accurate, but I am pleased with Tamiya XF-50 as the Deck Blue, and the Tamiya AS-8 rattle can for 5-N. (These are 1/700 scale)
  29. Coyote_6 started following USS Alaska by Boeing774 - Hobby Boss - 1:350 - PLASTIC
  30. Coyote_6
    Boeing774 - these are the products I use. I have never used the Kicker on wood but it seems to evaporate from plastic pretty well. Recommend some test pieces first as always before using on your models. I should add it looks like you're getting great results with what you're using now.
  31. Coyote_6
    Those look the part Phil - super convincing. Just amazing results. Can't wait to see them painted.
  32. Coyote_6
    Aaaaand - she is done! Tamiya WW2 destroyer kits seem to only include 50 star flags?? (No flag with the Yorktown kit.) So I put on a 50 star temporarily. Pretty straightforward build, out of the box except adding the hangar deck which you can't see much of anyway. So here she is, USS Yorktown, CV 5: And the standard "1/700 ship with a quarter for scale" photo... Fun build. Thanks for checking her out.
  33. Coyote_6
    And finally the Wildcats arrive - just in the nick of time! Airwing assembled!! All I really have left is to run a line up to the boom on the aft mast to attach the flag. Looks like we'll make that December 6th deadline.
  34. Coyote_6
    And then the SBDs arrived!
  35. Coyote_6
    TBD squadron has arrived!
  36. Coyote_6
    Island painted and installed... Air Wing in work...

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.
