popeye the sailor replied to Javlin's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds

General 4-4-0 by gene1 - FINISHED
popeye the sailor replied to gene1's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
it is.........neat! it was part of Revell's 1:96 series......I was always under the impression that there were only several models, but I'm finding out that there were more. a few were 'cloned' to create others in the series.....the Galleon was {I think}..the only one that was a slightly smaller scale {1:89...I believe}. -

ERTL played a part in a couple of model companies..........as well as Matchbox and Mattel. there is a large scale Revell Spanish Galleon that I'd like to get. you really did a great job on this one......looks super cool! I did some experimenting on embossing emblems on sail cloth, using a printer. there is a log of it somewhere here........... -

General 4-4-0 by gene1 - FINISHED

thanks for the stellar review........but there are many who are much better than I am. ....and as I mentioned, I've seen many configurations pertaining to stacking the logs in the tender.....I went my own way with it. one looked very much like yours.....so you see, there is no wrong way to stack wood {unless the engineer got ticked at you for wasting space }. -

I think you did a superb job on the General your collect is very large...........when I was a younger lad, I could give a better 'go' to best you .........my gallery now is only a fraction. perhaps you can start a log, showing us some of the techniques you like to use. -
hello Yves....thanks for look'in in and the kind comment. I don't have any plan to mimic the water, but I do plan to add rocks around the pilings and some scenery green to represent seaweed growth. I haven't done much due to the hectic prep for the holidays, save for something I've had stuck in the back of my head for some time now........figured I'd let the beast out and breathe. I hope to get back to doing something meaningful soon

luckily I stumbled back here looking for the Andrea Gail log.........I would have not see all your kind wishes before I continued on her. I had a comment made on the Word Press log on the A.G. by a fellow in Mass. he mentioned that another gent built a scratch build of her and it now resides in Cape Ann museum, in Gloucester. thanks to you all for the anniversary wishes ........must be still going strong......my stuff hasn't been tossed to the curb yet hopefully, it won't be our next anniversary when I get back to this project, although, I've been getting back to dabbling in wood..........currently acting on something I've been keeping on the back burner. the Holidays has put a tiny crimp on meaningful modeling....I figured I'd play with something I can putt around on for the time being. the hope is still there for some type of update.......stay tuned

that's the problem with some projects. but we all know that your microscope dials in more than most with what your adding right now.......it's the most impressive model I've seen!

Grumman A-6 Intruder by Papa - Fujimi - PLASTIC

any progress is good progress -
yea, that one bulkhead slot does look a bit thin. I think you have the best solution, fitting in some balsa. you could also glue in short pieces of strip stock between the bulkheads, fore and aft on both sides. space them far enough away from the stern stem, so they won't interfere with anything. your the best to decide which way to go with this.......you were smart enough to pick the weak spot out that was a good find!

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.
