    Still hammering on this one a little at a time the planes are just about done still have like 4 or 5 boats left.The hold downs for the spare a/c part and the launches is tissue paper thinking it gives the ship some life.
  5. Javlin
    Greg she coming in at about 2 1/2' nice size Boat.

    Well Alan anytime we feel we pushed those boundaries in a positive way is an event/day worth living Sir.The build came out looking really good and me doing 3D "no way" hattip.
  7. Javlin
    Tim while the build is really quite Nice I esp. like the life boats and launching craft they add a dimension of reality when done right and my attempts fail thus far.
  8. Javlin
    This will be interesting to follow .......in.

    Thanks fellas the decal issues I should of caught earlier just from having done so many recon crates and the "Flying Dutchman" which I think belong to the same FG same scheme.I think all in all it worked out one day I finish the 1/24 P-51.

    Late 60's early 70's it was called Calvert & Careway 1/2 mile from the house the local drugstore part of an isle to a/c kits.The place had your lunch bar with red then white stools best dam hamburger/fries in town $1.65 with your drink.Oh and the milkshakes it was treat when we went family of seven kids did not happen often.Now you stirred a memory Craig good ole days ......carry on!!

    Those aftermarket pieces do look Nice EG
  13. Javlin
    EG you've seen some of my wood work that will be the easiest part of the build.The question is does it come in the house(computer/gun display) or does it go were the Gato(4ft) resides?
  14. Javlin
    I get back from HobbyTown Mobile for supplies and I have a small package on the front porch.
  15. Javlin
    Thanks Mike really enjoying this one can't wait to get to the rigging makes the ship pop.I have a 1/350 flying boat(4 engine) if I can find the rest of the pieces I will put on a wire banking the ship if not order in some Zeros.
  16. Javlin
    I carry on can you tell I am on holiday.
  17. Javlin
    Thanks Craig I am having Fun with this one It's either 5/6 all together Roger and their will be a flier or two I have the Kagero book very nice indeed but it has to be after the refit late in the war all double A's went triple with two extra around the center spotlight.The refit also included a dozen or so single A's on the foredeck and aft along with new radar.I would of had to have the book a couple years ago when I started to make the adjustments to late now also must be a later Chikuma out there from Tamyia.
  18. Javlin
    Thanks Alan It's getting close Mike and I might finish most of it this week.
  19. Javlin
    Just chugging along fellas built the PE catapult,incline rear deck and added some double A's.The SS is now glued and the Funnel various ladders have been added around the deck more to come.
  20. Javlin
    This is probably all I will need beside more paint. https://www.ebay.com/itm/293943952087
  21. Javlin
    One of my favorites even over the Bismark in the Kreigsmarine.I have seen some knock it for lack of piece count but they forget the 5/6 frets of PE that replace the plastic embedded through out the instructions.
  22. Javlin
    Well all the hull handrails are in place 48 each side meaning 98 holes nothing is glued on the decks yet.I have to pick up some screws tomorrow to mount the ship to it's stand after that already staring secondary guns dealing with a bit of PE.The next trip to Mobile I will pick up some of that Tamiya primer if it 's available there. The 1/200 scale Sharnhorst is inbound with the metal barrels and decking coming in later
  23. Javlin
    Arrrgh for Christ sake EG you going to keep going another 20/30 years get your **** back to work.Blessings from the Good Lord Above that it may be sincerely Best of luck Brother.
  24. Javlin
    Craig if I am reading you right are you talking about the three color scheme derived from one color for decks?I have done two back in day like that that is some work it works but alot of taping and patience.I in fact started the Eugen like that and bought the wood deck to go over it it's a long process.
  25. Javlin
    I think I will watch and see the progression while I work with wood some I have yet to complete a a wood ship.

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.
