A great canvas to display your marvelous painting skills. Perhaps a wash may fill the voids left by the pesky masking tape.

kit review USS Missouri (or any Iowa class) 1/350 by Joy Yard
Ponto replied to Tigerdvr's topic in REVIEWS: Model kits
Great job Harley. I've just started my Missouri and hope that I can at least come close to your results. The kit will demand patience and a lot of planning. Just a quick question regarding the sequence and positioning of the main deck photo etch stanchions. I just cannot see anything about the proper sequence from bow to stern and vice versa in the supplied manual. JP- 51 replies

Your reference to building in plastic sounds a but condescending. I hope it was was not meant in this way. Scale models in any medium can lead to works of art or end in disaster. After building with wood for many years I've returned to the plastic medium and the skill set required is no less demanding than that required of the wood medium. It is just different.

Looks like those samples are a great testament for the "Rope Rocket". -
Untangling and rerigging or start from scratch?
Ponto replied to Rgpracer's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
I just posted my copy of the Longridge book as available as well as the definitive James Lees book if you are interested. Just send a pm. JP -
Absolutely gorgeous work. If I had one tenth or your skill I would be a very happy individual.

Tool holder that makes it easy to see the tool?
Ponto replied to kearnold's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I have plenty of proper storage for tools but they all end up in a pile during a build session. When I spend more time locating a certain tool as opposed to building I need to clear the pile and do a complete re set. -

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.
