    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.

    Welcome to MSW.

    Very well done, Yves. Check all the LED's hooked up and power applied. From my electronics work way back decades ago, you may find some bulbs not as bright as others. If that happens, you'll need to change the wiring to parallel. Like I said, it's been more decades than I care to think about and I might be wrong.

    It's great to see you back, Gerhard. Seems computer crashes with resulting mass destruction of data isn't uncommon. Buy yourself a backup drive for the new computer as it can be a lifesaver. Been there myself and having a backup saved me time and anger.

    Lou, looking great from here. Maybe we should get advice from you? Or at least I should.

    Welcome to MSW, Cricket.

    Mind-blowing detail, Marc and beautifully done.

    Thank you for showing us the update, Doris. Beautiful... beyond beautiful.

    Stunning work.

    Wonderful work that is perfect in every detail. Thanks for letting us watch over your shoulder.

    Leroy Pens... there's a product I haven't heard in years. I had a full set back in Tech Writing days for doing illustrations when a draftsman wasn't available. I have no idea where they went.

    This is probably the dumb question of the week.... Could it be filled from the backside and use something to smooth it out from the front? I'm really not a plastic builder though I did one recently so I'm curious.

    I'm glad I found this log. Fascinating and absolutely wonderful detailing.

    I like that little sander. Looks to be perfect for tiny parts. I like the way the row house is coming together. It will be impressive when finished.
  23. mtaylor
    This just gets more impressive every time I look in.

    I was always surprised that .50's didn't come in "larger" belts. We could put 400 in the floor mounted cans but we also had to string the belts together to fit them and while firing, someone (usually the CC) kept an eye that they didn't twist and were feeding cleanly. I notice that while we jury-rigged our boxes, the latest -53's use one designed for the bird.

    Sorry to hear that OC. Stress gets to everyone at some point, so don't feel bad about it. Right now, too many of us have too much stress and worry.

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.
