    Popeye, Look up MSC Industrial. They will have the sizes you want. I used to buy in packages of 10 ea because of shaky hands and if dropped they disappear into the unknown. http://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/01186204 David B

    One of the reason I like a solid hull is it can help me find the best run for the strakes. As for the Garboard, I always dreaded fitting the darn thing. If you are painting the hull what type of wood are you going to use? David B

    Congrats on a job well done. Too bad I cannot be at the meeting to cheer you on. fom what I have seen and been told you have a very bright future ahead of you in modeling. Put it in a case and enter it into the contest at Manitowoc. I think you will impress the judges and your fellow modelers. What do you have planned for your next project? David B

    I have never thought of using a Lego for truing up brfore. Great tip. David B

    You put me to shame David B

    How about putting in a temporary brace and then use that to help keep the edge glued planks straight and even? David B

    I think I would go with 1/8 " It is easier to find this size and why complicate things when you do not have to. David B

    You are doinga fantastic job on your iron work Matt. Keep it up. David B

    That is why so many modelers I know tend to bend their elbow a lot.

    That is where I went wrong. Next time I will dig out my small Butane torch and try it again. David B

    I was finally able to go through your log Mike. Your model is amazing. The work is clean and neat and precise. If you can get your hands on some apple use Fiebings and you will love the result David B

    Ed, I have tried brazing copper that thin for small projects and the part would melt when I used the torch. What is your secret to doing this. I have used tape and brass tubing shaped to fit for my banding. David B

    Very realistic Maury. How did you make it and what kind of wood? David B
  22. dgbot
    Are you working to scale Chuck or full size? The detail is great. You must have a workforce of Lilliputians on your payroll. David B
  23. dgbot
    For temporary gluing I have used a drop of contact cemment. A little acetone works great in weakekning the bond as well. David B

    Do you plan on taking reservations for her maiden voyage to Paris? David B

    You are doing a marvelous job Rod. How would you rate this kit and what would you put the skill level? David B

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.
