    I doubt that there was an argument or a shortage of volunteers.

    I'm taking the bait also, Jack. Join the Vietnam Era Air Force.

    Here how to get around that... set up the work area with the ship. Do some things on the ship. Then go work on the plane (and here's the important phrase) "while the glue is drying". Seems to work most of the time.

    I'm just... wow... no words. That beast looks great and I love the skull you have.

    Meh.. don't sweat it, all our brains are going. The tail numbers look great.

    Hi Chris, Welcome to MSW from southern Oregon. I''m sorry to hear of your loss. I check our index and there's no logs for either of those. Which ever you decide, feel free to start a build log. The ships would go in the Build Logs for Kits area and the catapult would go into Non-ship Models area in Shore Leave.

    Hi Jim, welcome back.

    Welcome back, Darrell. I do like your ships boats. I hope from here on out you have smooth sailing at home.

    The problem that I see is that it's walnut. Not very flexible and with a lot of grain. Typical kit wood. From the hull photo the other day, you should probably use the recommended drop plank.

    John, I'm deleting your email and your phone number. We get crawl by a lot of websites, not just Google, etc. and if it's left, you will get spam and probably some viruses in your email. And let's not forget all the calls you'll get.

    Whoa... that joggled a memory.. "Shoo Shoo Baby II".

    Chris, The red wasn't to hide the blood. That's a myth. Iron Oxide pigment was very cheap so many ships of many nations used it.

    I'm thinking it's pear also from the color, lack of grain, etc. You might go to this topic and PM Greenstone... As for that Ebay kit... I would say it's pirated as Crown is on our 'no-no-don't even think about it" list.

    Looks great from here including the blackened metal.

    Hi Mario. Long time no see or hear from. Glad you found your way back, but as Ken said, family first, so there's no rush.

    The only stupid question is a question unasked. Feel free to fire away with them.

    Check with the Air Force Museum in Dayton. It's been probably 30 years since I've been there, but they used to have 2 (I think) B-17's that were warbirds that did missions. I do remember they at least one of every other US fighter and bomber from WWII, including some German aircraft.

    I hope it's that the picture did it, but that .50 looks pretty beat up around the muzzle.

    You might have a look at this build.... https://modelshipworld.com/topic/8742-usf-constellation-by-toms10-finished-artesania-latina-scale-185-first-wooden-build/?tab=comments#comment-259479 and this one: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/6261-uss-constellation-by-jlheureux-finished-artesania-latina-185/ Both of those are finished models. There's others but are all "in work". You can find them here: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/17023-quick-find-indexes-to-build-logs-for-kits/ Download the Wooden Kit pdf and then scroll to "Constellation". I hope things are going well.

    Are you fully planking her or not? If you are, go ahead and make the deadwood out of one piece. His deadwood pretty much follows the practice of the time due to the size of the timbers required.

    And it didn't require an Okie-Dokie from some REMF sitting in an office somewhere before you could return fire. Gasp.. in 'Nam, we didn't ever think about firing first. Jack, Great looking armor corps you have there.

    I'm moved this to appropriate sub-forum. I'm looking forward to seeing the log.

    Welcome to MSW. Give some thought to opening a build log. It's a great way to meet folks and get help.

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.
