    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?

А вы без работы не сидите молодец! Отличные наборы танков   . И корабль красивый у вас получается. У нас тоже дожди идут и холодно..раньше в это время года тепло уже было. Если можно было я бы вам этого бензина тонну отправил .. его у нас много литр 50 центов .  У нас  одна проблема некоторые сайты заблокированы .. а в основном всё по-прежнему. Я тут зарегистрировался недавно ..ещё не знаю как тут разобраться .. тут всё на английском и перевода иногда нету. По этому вам я свой адрес электронный почты    написал . Ещё раз рад что всё у вас хорошо .. большой горячий привет сестре вашей Арлен и самому прекрасному коту Борису ! С уважением ваш друг Эдуард   .

    Mary Rose

    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

    Mary Rose

    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 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 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.

    Hi Ron I found out that the sides of the upper hull are too short by .100. Look at photos and measure it. I have raised my hull sides and deck up now. And have done other things like detailed the exhaust and intake trunk. Used Archers Decal rivets. Opened up the sides of the trunk and widened the preasure hull there. I see you have made up preasure hull sections. You can see all y postings on Facebook Wolfpack pages.

    Welcome aboard Harvey I am an Oregonian from Troutdale- the windy city today with the Gorge winds howling > Where in Oregon do you dock? Keith and Boris

    Ahoy I recommend this kit for anyone who wants to learn how to build a wooden ship model. And be able to complete your first build! There are two books on it,which I used to add details along with photos of the real one at the Smithsonian . Here's mine that I built back in 2014. I placed 1st in our IPMS Spring Show for Non Powered Sailing Ships. I had planed to enter it in the Seattle Spring Show this April , but that Show was canceled due to Covid19. Maybe next year.

    What is the price of this kit from Trident? Boris wants to know. Thanks Keith and Boris
  21. bear
    Ahoy Mates There's also a white metal Ferrari engine kit that goes with the Arno. I do not know if they still make it-from another company other than Amati. I bought one with this kit. The cost of the engine kit was $975.00. Have had mine for over ten years now just sitting on a shelf waiting for me to build it. Great subject to build. Happy New Year to all. Keith and Boris

    Ahoy Chuck and All As for dents,you can use the steaming out of them. Just dab a little water on the dent,then use the travel iron to raise the dent up. Repeat it as needed. You can also just let the water do its work without heat to raise the dent too. You can use this to your advantage too,compress the area on the wood that will fit into a slot or under something. Compress it so it fits in easy. Then just before you insert it in.wet it, assemble it and wait for the wood to expand back -and you have a tight joint. Barrel and bucket coopers use this for sealing the bottoms and sides of the staves by compressing a line in the wood,plaining it down until the compressed groove is level. Then when the wood gets wet,that compressed line expands and acts like a compressed gasket. Keith and Boris

    Ahoy Mates Thanks Jason for all the wood I have bought from you,and the way my models look using your wood. Here's the new Supervisor in my shipyard. His name is Boris,he's a Russian Blue about a year old. with about the same personality of the late Pickels as you can see.. The sale sure went fast-about 8 minutes. Glade I was sitting watching the screen for hours waiting for the site to open. Would have bought more but PayPal held me up from aying for about 30 seconds,3 bundles were taken out of my order before it was paid.I still spent over $700. Well worth it Jason. Thanks Keith and Boris

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.
