    Thanks Alan I am glad I stuck it out.The very last piece of LGDoor was about to be added again it went for the floor I never heard it hit the floor for 10 minutes I looked to no avail!I said no way but I did it anyway took off the shoe it fell in the hole of my work shoe(1" hole) I went WTH Well you know we had that discussion paint or metal and across other boards all said orders were Silver Dope.🤨 The pics I saw the more I am thinking the a mix make it look like the pic was all I could strive for she real close. Thank You Ship appreciate the compliment means much Sir! I have been watching that they are working with one in the UK that looks to be a flyer also methinks it's a Mk-II(?)swapping parts and an engine some where's in the action. Thanks Ken I have been pushing myself pushing myself of late on weathering and such baby steps unlike Doc Rob well he goes full tilt I think his brain is just a little bit bigger than mine.

    I thought this pic captured the plane pretty well.
  22. Javlin
    Well Fellas I hope she measures up to standards.I had a few challenges along the way history,paint and loosing LG parts!I think the Florrys Sand blended everything together quite well kinda hid some of the paint issues methinks.The last pic is just to show "yes" I almost forgot to add the tube.She is in the cabinet now but it needs it's yearly cleaning/dusting that may happen today getting the table ready for a little 1/72 F-106 Dart this one will be shinier

    I like the looks of the cladding glad you went in that direction over my thought of sheet rock.I did a lot of outlet(s) like you have just a little higher but I have tall standing equipment and sometimes you just do not want to bend over.

    Like the toned down version mucha better!

    Well if that little gremlin struck again she's not going to be ready for the show this W/E.I was building the tailwheel assembly a piece flipped out the fingers hit the chest and went under the desk on a hardwood floor and that's all it wrote.That little POS grabbed it up and off to his hole it went.The first pick is the factory the white part is what I had to make nothing hard just 30/45 more minutes even got the bolt heads with the punch.The next pic is the rockets and to get a decent crisp lines.I first glued a bigger diameter to my plate and beveled the inside of the tube to cover the light grey all the rockets had been painted in and then painted the green.The next step was to tape off the area below the white/grey for the bottom of the red stripe and got a smaller diameter tube beveled and glued it to the platform and sprayed the red.I think if will work still got some more brush painting but the jig worked.

    We need a positive ID on these little gremlins ...little rascals
  32. Javlin
    I am beginning to think I have some gremlins in the shop that likes gear bay doors this is the second one in about 4/5 months now and I have hardwood floors?Just a couple more effects and she's ready for paint by the way it is riveted .The inside of the door the riveting sucks outside looks pretty good. The last pic just shows they area equal stacked on top of each other.

    Here's some other pics EG and this fella like you said dope was the order but the pics will...... I am starting to think this plane may of been painted but for reasons had a few replacement panels added even the wing root looks replaced.

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.
