    Have a look here at this topic, Zack.

    Depends on the color. Black, white, and yellow masts and spars were painted. When modeling, it's your choice to paint with paint, paint with wood for contrasts, or not do anything.

    Does it separate if you don't use a wet pallet? Try putting it on some wax paper instead.

    I hope the healing goes well, Doris.

    Where in Ohio are you? It might help with finding someone close to you. And lastly, I'm sorry to hear of his passing. What was his screenname here?

    Siol, Welcome to MSW. What you might do is look at the various logs for building this model. That should give you an idea of how much time you'll need.

    Sorry but I have no idea where you'd find plans for the ship. Are you looking for a complete set or just the lines drawings?

    Greg. Welcome to MSW. I'd like to suggest that you go ahead do a build log. Start it from where you are now. You'll get feedback and help as needed.

    Denis, Darn you... this brings back many memories... I may have to go look for a kit, now. As I recall those engines were usually painted black for heat dissipation or left bare metal. Most of that era were aluminum and came out (I hope I got this right) Keith Black's shop. There was another engine maker (blocks) that was popular but the name escapes me. BTW, the blowers back then were steel. Late 70's I think, the NHRA allowed them to be aluminum. The originals blowers (for non-gear heads) were used by GMC large diesels. Slicks.. what we used to do was mount them to the wheel, and then spin slowly while holding some very fine sandpaper to the tire. Nice touch on the scatter shield. The brown looks like the "blanket" they wrapped the armor grade steel with as additional protection. It wasn't kevlar but did have (as I recall) some sort of mesh inside.

    A masterpiece, Igor. I'm always amazed at the detail and the vision you put into your work.

    Beautiful work, Igor.

    Club? Or are you looking for build logs? Welcome to MSW.

    Hi Tom, Welcome to MSW. Billing Boats does (or did, not sure if it's still available) have a kit for HMS Warrior. They might even just sell the plans. As for Dreadnought, Trumpeter has a kit.

    Welcome to MSW, Michel.

    I have my fingers crossed and am holding my breath for you Heinrich that this works out. Seems like a sound idea.

    Phil, Since you don't have a lathe, improvise. You'd be surprised what you can chuck into an electric drill or even a Dremel and then shape with files, sanding sticks, etc. I must say that you did a nice job without a lathe.

    That is a marvelous thing you did for their museum, Jim. It's the little things we do for one another that make a difference.

    Crab is it? Rats. Here I had some medium rare steak in a baggie for bribery.

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.
