What a great fleet. What I want to know is, where did you get that machine used in the movie, "Honey I Shrunk the Boats"? Bob

Thanks All. No it will not be weathered. I am building it as it is in the opening overhead picture. It was a Coast Guard boat during WWII and I don't think they would have put up with dirt and rust. So even the bumps scrapes and dents will be painted and clean. Bob

In that picture I like the way the ropes are hanging on the belaying pins. I suspect that is the way it really was except during inspection. Bob

As we say each part is a model of its own. So I made the model of the pilot house. As I’m typing this I realize I still need to add the navigation lights. But here are the pictures. Bob

Good find on the wire. Just because it doesn't say it's hobby supplies doesn't mean it won't work. Bob

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.
