    Like the others... I'm in total awe.

    I guess I was being "old school"...... sorry.

    Welcome to MSW, Chris. Don't forget on important thing... enjoy yourself and the model process.

    Is it an actual camera or a smartphone? Ipad device? Seems sometimes the device is upside down when the picture is taken by them.

    Actually is is on topic as we have in "Shore Leave" a non-nautical area for cars, tanks, truck, buildings, etc.

    Back in armor days, I found that ensuring the axles were "true" and then a bit of graphite or vaseline (petrolium jelly) did a lot to make things run smoothly. Even still, it looks impressive.

    Beautiful work, Javlin. You've overcome the "bad" instructions very well.

    Have a look here at this topic in the 'How to use the MSW forum".

    Welcome to MSW.

    I checked my stash of MM paints. They now have tossed as all were dried out. They were great paints but times change.

    Don't beat yourself up, Chris. Sometimes, stuff happens or isn't clear in the instructions. I think we've all been there at least once or twice or more. I know have multiple times.

    Beautiful work and believe the in-laws will love it. I did change your title to "Finished" for you. There is a posted topic on this here:

    Such a tiny little craft but very well done.

    Great to see you have returned and are recovering, Bob. The model is looking good. Do keep listening to the First Mate as she cares and seems wise.

    Generally speaking... yes the port side was a mirror image of the starboard side. However, there probably were exceptions. And once the iron/steel navies became a thing, they weren't always mirror images.

    He'll have to inspect any cake for tiny periscopes.

    Not quite, Keith but I love that photo. The Russians are using, if I recall correctly, Limpet mines that are magnetic.

    I see you have and that's great. Welcome to MSW. May I also suggest you do an introduction in the "New Members Introduction" area?

    War dogs are not uncommon. The military uses them for guard dogs and also other tasks like helping to clean out bunkers, etc Currently, there are war dolphins being used by the Russians (alledgedly) to help guard their Black Sea fleet.

    Interesting video, Eric. When I lived in the St. Louis area we did ride the Katy trail but only about 20 miles of it. Wonderful ride with some little towns along the way that most used for rest stops.

    That's a new category... "war penguins". How do they compare to "war dogs" other than have to keep them in fish.

    In 'Nam, our choppers weren't washed except by the rain and wipe downs by the crew chief and 1st mech. Exhaust was rusty. and paint had a lot of worn spots where the maintenance guys walked and worked. There were oil and soot streaks but sometimes didn't get cleaned up due to time. Most CC's would try to touch up the paint from the worn spots but it was rather iffy as to finding time to do that. No rust on anything not steel such as skin, blades.

    Generally speaking, Rick, if the gunports didn't have lids or bucklers (I could be wrong on the bucklers), they didn't have the port stops

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.
