    Thks Lou,even though it's viral they gave me a big shot of steroids and antibiotics then on top of that pollen galore right now eyes feel buggy.What do think about the hand props look good enough to your eyes? Kevin
  2. Javlin
    Well I have not stopped working I seem to feel better later in the day so I have been working on props.What we have here is the kit prop,aftermarket which I do not care for and kit prop re-shaped.I think a little more shaping on the backside of the prop and it will be good to go still alittle fat.The after market props have defects in the face and are so frigg'in thin I can bend them so I cannot sand out the defects.The other problem if they go to rotate the blades will begin to move and flatten out possibly.I am about 50% through engine #2. So I paid $30 for some templates Kevin

    I will be out of pocket it looks for a few days a week #19 got me maybe being admitted to a hospital later today looks like pneumonia may of already started in the r/lung and I started feeling ruff Sunday.This is the second time this build has been stopped due to illness last was in 2015.

    Nice!!

    That and the thought process CD thinking the rubberized stuff for wiring once in the wheel and out.I stop here today I think I wish now I would of took a pic before the gear hit the WW for the rubber hose part at least I know it's there I will take a pic of the L/LG.The motor works had to turn the plastic shaft into it's own lathe for a moment or two with a sanding stick then a touch of white lithium all's good now.I have some paint touch-ups nothing major and clear to blend.Oh I used a flat silver on the LG with SNJ rubbed in for the shock I am using this technique more and more.

    I started building the other line and I found out the malleability of the wire I was using was very very low for a single strand so back to wire box.I had some commercial grade stuff about a foot long maybe a hundred strands together tried breaking it I couldn't but it's not insulated I will continue to think on that.So,what you see here is about 1/2 hrs of trial and error green painters tape and then thin CA applied to it I am about to paint this LG.
  10. Javlin
    Yes it did Kevin

    Thanks for all the likes fellas I hope to get some more done today all the relatives have left town always nice to see family but I do like my time in the shop. Kevin

    I have the same putty like it over toothpaste tube products a bit hard to squeeze out.The Mitchell was the first plane I have used it on spreads easy and clean up is easy. Kevin
  13. Javlin
    Splendid Job CD!There aren't any touchups Kevin
  14. Javlin
    Moving quickly on this one Jack looking good thus far! Kevin
  15. Javlin
    Nice work thus far so small hat is off to ya. Kevin
  16. Javlin
    I was surprised the same thing about the Mitchell CD very few. I am sure you will Sir! Kevin
  17. Javlin
    Moving along with the right wing I have for the most part am finished with the engine and have moved onto the LG.I had heard of another fella using the wire as the hydraulic lines so I settled on that with a slight in provision I skinned back the wire some and ran it through some brass tubing then slid the sheathing back over the wire and a slightly bigger brass piece cut and used as the coupler between the rubber/metal.I have another tubing to attach to the other side also of the LG as was in real life. Kevin PS;the wire goes into the wheel hub out the bottom of the tire and under the platform

    I must be lucky 1.0 for me but I have no hearing @59 yrs

    Well CD this is the pics of the ICM figures for this build and the little Dio is ICM figures pre-molded in 1/48 Kevin
  20. Javlin
    I think OC everyone of us had these little snafus like a good carpenter knows how to hide his mistakes. Kevin
  21. Javlin
    He's around brother on every build he forces me into the "Persian Rug flaw" No Denis these are Tamy motors originally designed at the time for 1/48 Tamy Lanc Kevin
  22. Javlin
    The wing will hide some of the scratch on the left side of the fuse for sure and I would not worry about that little bit of over spray in the green. Some thinned out black would hide most well enough I think CD that would be my fix then a future clear before decals to hide it.

    Kept those busy hands out of other mischief ToyLand out at KAFB my Dad would take me there I built a B-17 for him to go out at Dolan Hall. Kevin
  24. Javlin
    It's not glued up yet just in position and the electric motor will be double sided tape in place once ready.All for today had to work on the truck and baseball tonight MGM Ball Park my Nephew's(HCoach) team MSU against Texas Tech,"Hail State". Kevin (17)MSU-6 and (4)Texas-3 hooray! tomorrow me and two of my neighbors go in the DOB (17)MSU-3 and (4)Texas -2 Hooray!my neighbors enjoyed the game alot. Kevin
  25. Javlin
    Yeah they have CD I'll take a pic you have to put them together.I could not get the seven exhaust pipes from the front cyl to the back exhaust collar to connect so that engine will to be covered.The other engine I want open and need to figure out what I did wrong and I built it in their sequence I know to pay attention on the next one.Well I got the rod for the motor figured out and started the base inside the engine/gear bay going.Thks for looking in Kevin

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.
