    Trevor, remember that the Halifax harbor front would be dated to about 1917 as that entire area had to be rebuild due to the largest non-nuclear man made explosion when a ship carrying 17,000 tons of ammo & other explosive materials blewup.

    look at the bottom of the search light in that circle & you'll see 2 dotted lines to that spar. whether those lines go to the top of the spar or not i do not know. is that "wooden" cask actually wood, painted metal or some other material? what time period does it show the spars & casks & is it same time period as your model?

    Baker, the funnel is actually leaning out so the ship's exhaust gases do not interfere with flight operations especially for the aircraft landing on the flight deck from astern.

    what is the matter with it as looks good to me?
  16. ddp
    i thought it was supposed to be white walls on the inside with purple floors with pink polkadots & grey on the outside?
  17. ddp
    even overspray on the steering servo?
  18. ddp
    what are the bluejacket railings made from, pe, 3d printed or what? the canvas can be made from tissue paper then painted same color as vertical side of superstructure.
  19. ddp
    what material are you going to make the 2 prop guards out of?
  20. ddp
    with or without the smell?
  21. ddp
    is the paint oil based or water based? can try the warm water but doubt it will work. could use another piece of tape sticky side down to try to remove the tape residue.
  22. ddp
    if it is concerning the Alaska then is to late as it should have been wash, dried & sun baked before starting the model.
  23. ddp
    are you removing some of the paint where the parts are to be glued onto the deck?
  24. ddp
    i think your black waterline is too high as should be below the reinforcing hull strake not above it according to the US Navy's Booklet of General Plans of that class i have saved on my computer.
  25. ddp
    i have plans for 1958 & 1967, which do you want? will need your email to send them.

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.
