    Yes on the mirror for the reasons Eric gave in his post above. IMHO a larger mirror (slightly larger than the width and length of the hull) would look better. Also, get a better quality mirror, one that's not so blurry.

    Before you remove them you might try gently rounding the handle edges with the tip of your X-Acto knife which may also remove some of the char. I don't see how you can round the handles once they're removed. As far as removing all the char, the only solution I see is painting them a color that resembles wood. Did you ask Chris?

    I so enjoy your builds, Bob. You bring life to ship and log.
  26. Keith Black
    Congratulations, Bob. Job well done.

    Amazing work, Roel.

    Johnny, I use CA to glue eyes to the deck. I drill the hole a tad larger than than the eye, place CA gel on the eye shank, place in hole, and then add a tad bit of regular CA around the shank. I've had to remove eyes because of putting them in the wrong place and played billy goat heck getting them out pulling on the eye with pliers. They don't come out willingly.

    Frank, I use Minwax satin polyurethane. Using CA I can glue directly to a polyurethane treated surface without issue. Polyurethane is disparaged by the old schoolers but it's got a lot going for it, IMHO. As always, experiment thus making sure it works for YOU.

    Bob, thank you for letting us share your journey. We're all the better for it.

    She's a beauty, Glen. For a 'it almost didn't happen' build I for one am certainly glad that it did because it ranks near the top. The lone penguin at that scale is very well done and a nice touch........thank you.

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.
