    Thks Dan these little guys probably got pretty dirty seeing the environment they were used in but just not that many pics out there and the Chikuma and all those other unfinished builds have my attention.

    I am using some not all of the Eduard Set I had to order another ladder set from Trumpter see if they fold easier than the Eduard does.

    Turrets have the requested PE applied just need to repaint and do the blast bags.

    That they do Craig I also like the Kreigsmarine when they introduce the Atlantic bow it became slashing in my opinion. Roger I have read only a few book on the PTO "The Rising Sun","Midway" (not sure of author) and one on Pearl Harbor "Day of Infamy" as time goes on my interest in the N.Africa and the PTO is peaking quite a bit. The four main batteries have been assembled only the PE needs to be attached and a repaint.The Yamyia IJN Grey was a perfect match to the Humbrol.

    Already in the Cabinet Back to Chikuma

    I have just about finished the bridge I screwed up two ladders trying to get the steps to fold out more inbound.The funnels are just about complete I have lost misplaced the colors I used I have Tamy's IJN grey on hand it is very very close to what I used from Humbrol.This is feeling at home I have to say some work left but really I am 50% methinks ATTM.

    Ouch!!

    EG a thought...maybe take the yellow out to the black outside borders then mask off the yellow to inside and paint the black or is that the plan?That way only two more tape lines inside for the black.Seems I did mine that way.
  11. Javlin
    Not my cup of tea Craig but I'm liking the results
  12. Javlin
    looking good EG and yep the fuse band is a beotch I was surprised the yellow on the 51 worked as good as they did.
  13. Javlin
    Dan for me it's the end part my mind is usually already working on the next project just not this time.I do go back and look at times it's all right there in the same room as I build.I was thinking last night this room represents 40yrs of work I wish I had a LHS to donate too the Library up the road use to display some at one point 20 years ago not anymore.The auto-gyro will be completed in the next week or two I fixed the F-up i had moving forward. Some pics of the office/hobby room shop Dan.

    EG I p/u at Hobby Lobby one of those small hand held magnifier with a light you use for coins it aided me on the the last build knowing up and down.She's coming together well never notice or did I "forest for the trees" effect the canning to the surface?

    Dan this felt slow and time consuming once I hit the decal stage I start to lose interest.I have to many kits that are unbuilt that need my attention hence the reason sometimes I pass up the engine and gunbays in this one,once in the cabinet no one but those that walk into the shop will ever see it.
  16. Javlin
    I thank all of You for the kind comments and those that sent out likes.I am starting to run flat on Mojo though ATTM.I looked and looked at kits last night 250/300 unbuilts but it just was not happening for me.I worked on the wife's truck yesterday 6 hrs non-stop my body and neck were caving.I have an appointment this week to setup another nerve burn for T1/T2 and C4 probably come September/October.I may move to the other side of the shop start some wood work she does need some filing boxes for kiddies work at school bought the wood today easy-peasy.I think some of ya'll (i'm deep south) remember back when I cleared out a cache of SOD kits I will post those in the future.
  17. Javlin
    I am calling this one done Guys even for a Trumpter Kit and all the decal issues she came out pretty good.
  18. Javlin
    Denis put the canopy on the window sill with lots of sunlight I have taken out over 1/2 of the yellowing for a Nate I have.It's much like doing the decals that have yellowed same process.
  19. Javlin
    Just the light sheen from Alclad.
  20. Javlin
    Just your overhead light EG makes it reflect well!
  21. Javlin
    I am hoping to get the rest of the stencils laid out tomorrow.
  22. Javlin
    Their are issues with the decals most will not notice some areas like the "Flying Dutchman" I should of opted for painting?I call it a conspiracy by Trumpter but she will look the part.I may explain the issues if my fingers can type that long!
  23. Javlin
    That's how I made the repair to the tailplanes on the 51 easy peasy
  24. Javlin
    They are EG almost a grey in person the flash kinda blends it out a bit.I think me leaving out the engine and gunbays saved alot of unwanted headaches and the fit of the kit improved.
  25. Javlin
    Oh EG I found it easier to leave the tailplanes off till the very end helped with decal placement in that area also.

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.
