    It comes and goes and sometimes it even surprises the hell out of me like on the "Lt. Dan" post.

    Is the block and tackle to suspend a whole hog for butchering?

    Did you coat the rigging, by per chance? Humidity does affect the thread/rope. Stretching will help some. What I and a lot of others do is stretch the line, then pull it through some beeswax a few times. Wipe off the excess. There are other methods also but I'm not that familiar with them.

    Have you tried contacting Caldercraft? Here's their contact page from the web.... Caldercraft is part of Jotika by the way. http://www.jotika-ltd.com/Pages/1024768/Profile.htm#Contact

    The gunner isn't "Lieutenant Dan" by per chance? I'll go quietly now.

    Maybe just call the bug bit "battle damage"... and paint a fly on the side of the cockpit for the kill.

    The 60's? I've heard of them.

    Looking great, CDW. I'm glad you were able to repair the damage. Now about that ZZTop quote.. thanks for the earbug.

    Wow....

    Beautiful work, Amallo.

    Kevin, Actually I'm doing pretty good. Longterm memory is coming back in bits and spurts which the docs told me would happen. Short term seems sometimes to have wandered off. Did some work inside today as too cold still to sit outside. Just worked for 15 minutes at time with two shop vacs and an air filter running. Then after 15, go do something else. Rinse , repeat. Up and down all day and I'm making progress.

    Rock on. Having two projects (or more) isn't uncommon. When you run out of steam on one, just jump on the other one.

    Congratulations of kicking some butt and welcome back.

    I'm wanting to believe that the classy interiors were for the officers? High ranking ones? If the crew had them, there would have a been fight to join the fleet. As for the toilet paper shortages... I don't get it. The virus doesn't cause bowel or stomach problems. I guess it's one of "follow the leader"... one person does it, brags on social media and everyone else follows. There's tails of fist fights breaking out here in the States over the stuff.

    Thank you, Pat and Druxey. If the weather is half as nice as they predict, I'm taking her out on the balcony to sand. Working inside requires vacuums, and serious cleanup. BTW, the plastic was fun and good for me but wooden tall ships is where my heart is.

    That's what I'm thinking... for the guns and also maybe for the chainplates for the deadeyes.

    What I see here (they use the Medford airport for "short runway" practice) is them rolling out and the first two stop, and go. The next two follow pretty quick. They're staggered as they roll onto the runway. Last summer we had a flight of 12 and the whole flight was airborne in just a few minutes. Impressive. These were F-15's (reserve) and I think they had stopped for fuel and lunch. After the take off, they made some passes over the field and on the last one, at mid-field... launched straight up.

    Nice work on the church (or what's left of it), Jack. Looks appropriately battle damaged. I put one of those half-tracks to together way back in the day. Nice model when done.

    It may be a pig, but from here, it's coming out looking great.

    Thanks Yves. That explains a lot as I'm not familiar with subs at all.

    There's also: https://model-motorcars.myshopify.com/collections/small-parts-hardware/bolts which is the company that bought out the old scale hardware web shop.

    Can you post a photo the cannon and the band?

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.
