    Hi Eduard  We are all doing just fine. Healthy and well. Arlene is well as is her horse Wyatt and her two cats JD and Gulliver. Boris is doing great. Running around this morning, jumping up playing with me and then biting me and running off!  I am working on a couple Russian tanks . T100 and SMK from 1939 and the USS Oregons stand.  We have high gas prices and inflation here now. I am doing ok. Just happy I do not have to drive any real distance each day. No problems around where we live. Weather has been record rain fall amounts, just happy to have it since we are still in drought conditions in other parts of Oregon. Today is cloudy, this weekend we will warm up to 75 deg. F.  How are you and Seema doing?

    bear replied to spars's topic in Wood ship model kits

    Ahoy Mates Here's my Mary Rose while it was in progress. Used the Trust books and the AOTS book and others for the 90%scratch build using the Jotika kits bulkheads and keel only from the kit. The Only accurate parts of the ship are the areas that were recovered and documented in the Trust book volumes. All the upper works are conjecture . I made my build with starting with a full main gun deck and up. With most of the deck planking missing so you can look down into the hull to see all the decks and cannons. All the cannons were scratch made . I used Syren Minature rope with Chucks custom made deadeyes he made for me. The rest of the rigging blocks were from Radek at HisModels.CZ . Boxwood and swiss pear was from Jeff Hern. If you would like to see more photos just PM me and I will be happy to send them to you or answer any questions. Thanks Keith Glueck and Pickels

    bear replied to spars's topic in Wood ship model kits

    Ahoy I built my Jotika Mary Rose kit only using just the keel,bulkheads and a few other parts. So about 90% of the rest was scratch built. You can use the Anatomy of the Ship book Mary Rose to help you along with the books by the Mary Rocse Trust. It took my 3 years for my build, I added the inside details from the main gun deck up with open decks so you can look down into the ship thru the open spaces in the decks. You can see more photos on this web site www.woodenshipclass.blogspot.com . Keith Glueck from Troutdale,Oregon Feel free to message me for more info or photos.

    Ahoy Mates Getting back to my build on the MSW's Confederacy and need to know which size( lenght) of cannon barrels and carriages from Chuck at Syren do I need to Order? Thanks Keith

    Ahoy Mates I have the basic dry dock put together now. Just waiting for the Laser Engraved Brick set to get to me now. Here's some photos. Advice in building is to get a sqaure block so that you can glue the uright end sections to the large outside parts square. And work your way down the sections. Look and sight dwon as you build so as to see any out of line parts as you go. I used PVA glue NOT CA! CA doesn't give you time to line up an adjust the sections that you glue. Build it on a board that is flat, I use cling wrap to keep it from sticking to the board or work surface. Boris checked out the fit-he approved!

    Ahoy, Why don't you give Rick at Modeler's Workshop a call? He has the large Cladercraft/Jotika kits in stock and would probly be happy to work something out with you.He's in Canada and ships to the US all the time. 514-973-7741. Keith may be able to help you

    Ahoy Mates Just found out that Chuck no longer makes rope. CRAP! I know I am late to this issue but need to find out what my alternatives are. Well now where to go for rope that is almost as good. Is there anyone who I can buy rope from that is of the same type and quality? Or what else is avaliable in natural or synthetic fibre? I guess I should ahve stocked up better, but now where can I go? Thanks Keith

    The submarine you note as a photo is a later sub that is not the same as the U9. You can measure photos of the U9 which show the higher deck to saddle tank. Sorry for the disagreement. Just agree to disagree. Also look up the book by Gregor trojac UBOOTWAFFE 1914-1918 for photos of the U9 like on page 53 . Measure them and see for yourself. and there are drawings inside it also on other pages,but none are of the U9.

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.
