    And the fumes are not good for you or other living things either.

    It should be noted that many hobby shops and other places are labeled with the store. Bob Smith does this if they request it but somewhere on the label might be www.bsii-inc.com and/or "Manufactured by BSI".

    Welcome to MSW, Michael. Have a look in this area: General Ship Model Kit Discussions - NOT build logs

    Ken, I don't dilute the vinegar.
  5. mtaylor
    I too will tag along.

    That last photo... just looks so real. Wow.
  7. mtaylor
    It probably will as it will keep the air from reacting with the olive oil. Though with varnish, I'm not sure you'd need the olive oil.
  8. mtaylor
    Olive oil? Like the cooking kit? If ii is, I worry about pests going for it and also it turning rancid.

    It looks to me like they're too tall and and too thin (the kit ones). Hopefully there's something in the after market that would work. As for the foremost one.... It needs to go. As for the deckhouse... the photo shows one that seems flat and low. You might be able to modify the existing one.

    I was there back in the 70's on a business trip. It appears the museum is closed or about to close as it's being moved. Here's the link: https://www.ordmusfound.org/'

    Best wishes and prayers that all goes well on Tuesday.

    Looks great, Bob. And a great job on overcoming so issues and setbacks.

    Just a big "wow" from me at this point. It's really impressive that the resin pats look like old wood.

    Sweet looking bird, Denis.
  15. mtaylor
    From here, I doubt the ratlines would be seen anyway. Looks darn good. I hope the weather gives you a break.

    I moved this to the proper era section.
  17. mtaylor
    Since this is going to be a log, I've moved it to the proper area here the Scratch Area.

    Not always but usually both the upper and lower lids on the half lids could be removed.

    If you're thinking of buying a mill, than you have your drill press but only for wood. I wouldn't use it for metal. The other thing, I use it as a drill press so seldom and space in my shop limited that's it's just not worth the cost. A good alternative is to get one the stands/mounts for a Dremdl type tool Hsae showed. Do not get one the cheapies that has plastic parts. I was given one a long time ago it just sits under my work bench. It the plastic parts just twist and bend and anything drilling is pretty much impossible.

    A bigger problem was firing and actually hitting what you wanted to shoot. You're around the corner and can''t see the target.
  21. mtaylor
    Ah resistance was indeed futile. Plans in the shop for a second scratch build and a kit will be on the way as soon as the weather clears in another part of the country. I'm not complaining. Isn't there a rule about having the most models wins at some point? I know I won't win, but that's ok. LOL. I just need to screw my head on right and get busy.

    I suspect that your conclusion about it "being left over after conversion" is probably right. If you look at the way the gun is mounted, it's definitely not at a broadside angle angle the recoil would most likely push it back into the side of the mortar pit.
  24. mtaylor
    Could those extra two have been carried topside? Or they might have ballast but those were usually damaged guns.
  25. mtaylor
    It's possible that they are re-doing the kit. Seems the new owners are putting time and money into re-deisigns and upgrades.

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.
