Now you need to build a ship around them. Those guns are stunningly real. Jan

You learn something new every day. I never realized there was this 'slack' in the antennae. Looks great (as everything you show us does) Jan

Why don’t we see people runing around on the deck. Oh wait, its 1:700 plastic. Looks lery much like the real thing, but those little people can’t move. This is so convincing! Jan

Forgot Password
amateur replied to Alvb's topic in How to use the MSW forum - **NO MODELING CONTENT**
Why this aggressive reaction? James offered a solution as soon as you described the problem. You ignored his solution, and the help offered. That’s not polite behaviour…. From own experience: the forgot-password-funcyion does work. The only time it did not for me was when I changed email without changing it in my profile… Jan -
This is pure paint wizardry. Nobody will believe that this started out as a rough lifeless plastic blimp covered in red primer. Al that masking was worth the effort! Jan

Sanding it again helped to give the surface less of a 'plastic' look. Just to get the scale right: what is the lenght of this blimp? Is it around 10 inch, or even smaller? Jan

We have a non-ship subgroup. It is small, but perhaps theycan give you a ‘place to be’ for aircraft-builders. @realworkingsailor Andy, do you have a suggestion? Jan

kit review SMS Sleipner by Hamburger Modellbaubogen Verlag
amateur replied to ccoyle's topic in REVIEWS: Model kits
At https://www.die-kartonmodellbauer.de/forum/index.php?thread/14732-sms-sleipner-t97/ spotted the first log. the turtleback is a tricky part indeed. Jan -
I read in a German formum that the site-owner has died last summer. His family has shut down the business and the website that was connected to it. Jan

Quite a lot of fiddly bits coming together. I have a question on your ‘build sequence’: in most kits the deck is glued to the hull before the remaining stuff is put on. Getting it on before is helpfull in case hull or deck (or both) are warped, and a lot of rubber bands are needed to close the gaps. Hooe your deck fits without brute force….. Jan

In vase you want something different: kolderstok is about to launch a cross section of a Dutch Pinas. I have seen the prototype (in real life, not just a pic), and it’s really nice one. https://kolderstok.com/blogs/nieuws Perhaps @*Hans* can tell us when it will be released Jan

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.
