Shotlocker got a reaction from Egilman in 1930 Packard 734 Speedster Runabout (boattail) By Egilman- Monogram- 1/24th Scale- FINISHED!! April 13, 2020

Thanks for the response! I guess I'll add the Super Clean to our shopping list for when we dare to venture out again and give it a try.
Seems like if it will remove lacquer it should remove enamel as well. I'll certainly let you know the results. I have an old Monogram
'59 Cadillac kit that needs a horrible paint job removed.

Great work you're doing on that Speedster, by the way.

Greetings,

I'm wondering if that Super Clean will remove old paint from plastic as well, any experience with that? I've used brake fluid in the past
but that stuff is iffy and nasty to work with.

Shotlocker got a reaction from mtaylor in SS Great Briton video March 6, 2020

Well, heck, it seems that one is custom built; not affordable with what's in this old sailors ditty bag! Thanks, tho'.

Utterly fascinating, thanks for posting those films! Any kits available of her?

Beautiful build of a beautiful ship!

Moab,

I suggest using one or two fans taken from an old computer to exhaust the dust...they're small and pretty powerful. Something to consider, anyway.
Shotlocker got a reaction from Old Collingwood in Clotilda by popeye the sailor - Steingraeber - 1:60 scale - slave ship - modified Agilis kit February 14, 2020

Denis,

The plans I have for the Steingraeber kit of the "Marie Celeste" are remarkably similar to those of the Agilis...your kit is the only other one by that manufacturer
that I've ever seen; bought mine in '75. Looking at your photos definitely remind me of what I had to go through building mine!
Shotlocker got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in What is the tackle for cannons on 1640 era English ships like the Mary Rose? February 13, 2020

Here are two pics I found in books that I have; the first is from Landstrom's "The Ship", a drawing of the Henry Grace a Dieu, 1545, and the second is from "Naval Gun" by Hogg and Batchelor. Not much but perhaps a little help?

Shotlocker got a reaction from mtaylor in USS Essex by RGL - FINISHED - Trumpeter - 1/350 - PLASTIC - as she appeared in February 1944 February 12, 2020

I'll throw my vote in for the French pre-dreadnought as well. Your builds are true works of art.

Alanyed,
Congratulations on meeting your wife here in Indiana! Just moved here a year ago in March; as far as I've seen, tho', alas, Patti's no longer exists. Nice town, we're stayin'.

I was admiring your work, checkin' out the details, then, when the photo of the display with the pencil came up, I sat back in my chair and said to self, "Whoa! Didn't expect
it to be THAT small!" NICE!

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.
