    Don't you know that we Marines were taught the fine art of pillaging and looting and also taking over unoccupied positions? By the way, the paint job looks great. (gotta keep on topic here...).

    Thanks, OC. I too will have to put some filler in a few places so we're both steady as she goes.

    Very true, Spyglass. I've done a couple of their ship's boats and they are "different".

    Got the fuselage glued together and taped. I'll let it dry overnight. Somehow, I managed to not only knock off one gun but also the mount. The mount is back in place and I'll hold off doing the gun for now. The mask for the front glass area should be here tomorrow.

    Welcome to MSW, Gremreeper1967. I hope you'll start a build log so we can follow along.

    I was thinking the same as Druxey and Patrick. Leave it.. looks great.

    Thanks OC. I think some of the American bombers used the same or similar setup.

    This is probably the best bit advice for planking issues. Once one reads and absorbs the concepts, the mystery is gone.

    Sounds like a good plan, OC. I have a question... in the cockpit, there's an opening in the floor, is that an escape hatch?

    Nice saves on the "Oops", Denis. Well done, sir.

    You don't have to smoke it... just fiddle with it, gesture with it.

    Also, go have a look at the Triton Cross Section (top of this page in Group Projects tab).

    Thanks OC. Indeed this is a big learning club.

    I think a mistress would cost less, Lou.

    Beautiful work, Yves. And like the others, that picture is perfect for displaying it.

    You forgot the fireplace crackling away.......

    Looks great, Ekis. I can almost hear the vespers of the inhabitants.

    Thanks guys. I was doing more fiddling about the shop last night and I noticed that if didn't mix the flat too well and used the mixture at the top, it worked just fine. I suspect that this product is meant to be thinned. And here I was all set to run to the hobby shop today. I'm happy with the decals now and will start putting it together. My masks for the glass should be here probably Monday or maybe Tuesday. I was notified it's been sent this morning. Alan, I had planned on taking off the decals (I have more just in case) if any of the Hail Mary passes didn't work. I still may have to take them off if I mess them up while assembling the fuselage. Crap seems to happen regularly.

    I got the clear flat to work with some testing.... don't over brush. Live and learn. Like you, I've run into a parts issue... not actually parts but painting. I've ordered the mask for the glass front end as I don't think I'm steady enough to free hand it. Hopefully it'll be here early next week.

    I'll give him a PM and see what happens. I'm going to the shop tomorrow to "bitch" about the bottle of "flat clear" that doesn't dry clear.

    Next to sheen at all OC. And after a couple of months in the hot sun, they started fading. Some had the red/white bands on the tail, others didnt'. Some had a bit more of lettering, and again, some didn't. Here's a photo of one of CH-53's in the squadron I was in while in 'Nam.... This is one that's at a museum.... it's faded also. This one is an "A" model as no intake filters, and the markings are "colorful".

    The decals look good on her, but shiney, OC. Conformed well to the seam lines of the plates used for the fuselage.

    That seems to be pretty much an unwritten rule of being retired. Unless of course, it's an event or appointment decided by the Admiral.

    There's quite a few in the Kit area. If you go to the link belowand select "wooden ship kits", you'll get a PDF of all the wooden ship kits. Just open it and got to the Bounty and the Constructo logs will be listed. If you're going to open a build log, do it in the kit area also.

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.
