    I'm glad you got the bonnet to fit properly when closed. Looks like a perfect fix..

    Interesting looking model. I'm following. BTW, could the rear well covers be removed?

    Welcome to MSW, Fiurar. I would hope you'll do a log here at MSW. It's the best way to meet other modelers and also get help and ideas when you need them.

    I love the way you did that. Looks fantastic.

    Food for thought on the hood closing. You're right about destroying things to remove the engine. How thick is hood? Maybe sanding the inside over the intakes? Worse case... file/sand down the injector intakes and paint with chrome paint. Just some thoughts.

    Time flies when you're having fun? Maybe ???

    Wow..... beautiful work.

    I think the answer is: "depends". Paints at that time were mixed by various folks and not pre-mixed like today so color would vary. Aging of the paint after painting would also mean that it's varied dependent upon when was the last time it was painted. I think the answer is basically... use what looks good to your eye.

    I've tried nail clippers, razor blades, all the usual stuff. I finally bought a small "sewing scissor" from a fabric store. Works a charm. And I do NOT use it for anything else.

    Since I doubt you can remove the motor and lower it, I think your solution is a good one.

    Looking good, Gary. As for "cluttering up the workbench"... doesn't everyone do that?

    That's a small signaling cannon probably then. Or something to make noise on certain holidays.

    Try PMing Igor. He was last on in the last 24 hours.

    Serpe, I think that's a choice you'll have make. From what I've read, the hull color could be white, black, or brown if wasn't coppered. It all depended on when and where the coating was re-applied.

    Welcome to MSW. On the cannon... hmm.... How big is it? There are so-called "signal cannons" and there's also some pretty small ones designed to be fired off as basically noisemakers.

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.
