    Wow. That is a beautiful model.

    They also have a lot of different thicknesses of CA.

    Way back in the past, the first MSW splash page (the one you got when you put only the address in your browser at that time) had photo of a huge model of this ship. Edit... found a link.... 1/10th scale. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1ZCEB_enUS832US832&source=univ&tbm=isch&q=largest+yamato+model+1/10+scale&fir=ESg5s02bKX9NfM%2ChyOLwZERsosueM%2C_%3BdiugppkVDdRDTM%2CvaG-9bCFdijE-M%2C_%3BiD3N-PbAQdjz3M%2C7dEc_NJBrPuOlM%2C_%3BWYKBjj8zMGHWXM%2CvaG-9bCFdijE-M%2C_%3B8zFal9UpyQa0iM%2CRqrdsxpbGAOYQM%2C_%3Biv9QLgfT-lYmVM%2CSFhKgowXU9LcHM%2C_%3BKo0ukWCbzdOoVM%2C0C3KWc71auK_YM%2C_%3B6_mNbQDYRughpM%2CcKMZnaGgb0am2M%2C_%3BBUtYtJftM_747M%2CZ-qLQSpcQwWE8M%2C_%3BMeK-lmfapyROiM%2Ctc3sWcLemXUDPM%2C_%3BkeV3eE5LXaP0dM%2CSr9TjX4bS3QtXM%2C_%3BHnIXzFmye9gq1M%2C7dEc_NJBrPuOlM%2C_&usg=AI4_-kT4OIPnj83kRhs1L7WYzDx5w_i4qw&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwix3M22juv6AhWNLEQIHQrLA-4QjJkEegQIExAC&biw=1431&bih=734&dpr=1

    Just a note on the Smith Industries CA..... When they sell their CA they will add custom labels with the shop/store name on the label. Look at the Bar Code on the back of the bottle and it will have "Manufactured by BSI". My local hobby shop sells it that way and so do several craft stores, all with their personal label from BSI.

    I think at one point or another, we've all had to that, Craig. And many times, we never come back to the project as it's either unsolvable or we just say "to heck with it" and move on to something else.

    Welcome to MSW. Here's a link to how to upload pictures. There's quite a few pinned posts in that area on how to use MSW.

    ModelShipWays does offer a "beginners line" of ships. It's three models and each one builds on what you learned on the previous one. It's a good concept, not a huge outlay in cash. Here's a link: https://modelexpo-online.com/Model-Shipways-Shipwright-3-Kit-Combo-Series_p_5465.html

    Thanks for that bit of history. I didn't realize that 88 was used by the Americans. Nor about the Germans willingness to share the knowledge on them.
  9. mtaylor
    Indeed it can be daunting. Follow the recommendations about starting small (no masts) and build from there.
  10. mtaylor
    Looking good,
  11. mtaylor
    Bill, the easy way is to look at what's in the kit.
  12. mtaylor
    Jet, I responded in your other post here: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/33148-uss-new-jersey-awards-medals/ Do try the PM to him.

    I just use straight Elmer's white glue. Being careful to clean up any that gets outside the gluing area is a priority no matter what glue you use.
  14. mtaylor
    I don't see why not. If you have a ropewalk, pick up a small amount of thread and try it.
  15. mtaylor
    Interesting video. Good points on the tooling up, ammo loadout, etc. which makes sense. Other countries ran into similar issues as did Germany later in the war when they were basically stuck with what they had.

    Welcome to MSW, Ross. Are you also a builder of models?

    You might try asking them if they can order kits from other manufacturers. I'm in the States but my local will order for items they don't carry as stock..
  20. mtaylor
    I would think one hit would do it. If your referencing the "88", that's the German gun. Started off as an AA gun and became the main one for artillery and armor.
  21. mtaylor
    Yes you can post the stage coach. We have a section for non-ship models.... https://modelshipworld.com/forum/73-non-shipcategorised-builds/

    I hope the test goes well. If I remember right, the blackening agent bonds to the metal with little penetration. However, it is a good bond as it's original purpose was for guns.
  23. mtaylor
    Brass Black, it does what it says.. black. Probably what you need was the gun bluing stuff. but I'm not sure if works on brass. You'll need to do Google on it and check. Many hardware stores sell it I'm not sure if popping the blackend brass in vinegar will remove but worth a try on some blackens scrap sprue.
  24. mtaylor
    Well, I tried it with an old blade and it works very well on the scarp wood. Well worth the effort. Thanks for sharing this Bruce.

    That's interesting that it's US only. Not sure why unless there's a block for some reason. Tom, above, could be right that it's not "secure" as some ISP's block unsecure sites. I note that the addy for your site is http://www.modelerssawmill.com/. Looks like it's missing the "s" at the end which means it's secure. I'm not sure how you get the "s" though so contact your web provider ISP for help.

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.
