    I bought my Panart kit in Lido di Jesolo in 2002/3 for the equivalent of £350. The kit at the time was nearer £450 in the UK, so it was a bit of a bargain. I only needed 2 or 3 hotel towels and bin bags to wrap it in for the flight back 😆 The kit today is £740.

    I built the Panart about 20yrs ago. Let's just say that if I could make a choice today, I'd stick with the Panart. This was mine. Please forgive me for the poor quality photos. This was an old Sony point and snap camera. Look at the proportions of the stern decor to the area they sit in. Compare to the new kit.

    The answer is simple. Contact me by the form at the bottom of the site and I can give you the new password to use across all your devices.

    Why did you register a new account? You only needed to ask me to reset the pass on the original, as I asked you to. I will delete the new account. Please use the contact form so I can do this away from the forum, as a change in password will mean you will need to login on your primary device and not access any PM I sent you.

    Resetting your password will affect your login on your computer too. Contact me via the form at the bottom of the website, and I will fix it. You will then need the new pass to login on both devices.

    Lag isn't as bad, but not completely gone.

    Ok, how's things for everyone now. All my notification mail has been instant today. I checked them all as they arrived and checked the date/time stamp on each topic post.
  8. James H
    Lag still exists. I'll look at this sometime this next week. As emails are still getting through, and some major email settings have been changed in WHM server panel, I'll add this to my list of jobs.
  9. James H
    ok, can someone reply now?
  10. James H
    Please check now.
  11. James H
    I think this is server side. Looking into it now.
  12. James H
    Please can you reply again to this?

    We have had a recent core software update (a couple of days ago). Just checked notification settings and I didn't see anything unusual, except the auto-notification to a member who starts a topic. That was unchecked. I've now corrected that. We've also had an update to the site's mySQL/MariaDB. As this site is driven by database queries, it could be that, but I would've thought it very unlikely.

    Hello, The answer is in this very forum area, in the pinned topics.

    I 'glue' the frames over the acrylic windows with Klear floor polish. It's acrylic itself, dries rock hard and is commonly used in plastic modelling for fitting some PE parts. I've been using it for years with no issue. If it gets on the clear pane, then it's no problem.

    This is the same method used on all of the VM range, from the fishers, right up to Indy. I must admit that I never had any problems when building those prototypes and writing those manuals, including Sphinx. @chris watton

    Just flex the deck so you can put it into place. From there, you'll see where you need to remove material from the edges. Do this until the deck lies flat across the camber. To remove the deck, just pop your fingers through a hole and gently lift.

    As this seems to be a Samsung thing that has only just cropped up, then that is the issue. There's absolutely zilch can be done from my side. It's not unheard of for phone/tablet software to update and cause issues with a website, so hopefully that will be either something they fix soon, or maybe a future forum template can take into consideration if Samsung fail to sort their bad code out.

    I can guarantee zero changes to our software for the last 5 weeks, as I update everything manually.

    I quite like the tape. More of a scale thickness and cleaner to apply.
  22. James H
    I never bother with those too 😉

    I'm not getting into a public slanging match for enforcing our rules. You do have fair reason to sell here, now you have furnished us with more information and not having staff here play guessing games as to whether something is legitimate or not. If I had to make the same decision again, I would, every time. Please let this be a lesson learned to those who wish to do the same. Maybe contact a staff member If this is on behalf of a deceased member, please let us know which member When registering an account on MSW, you have to state you understand the rules we have here. To plead ignorance after the fact, isn't an excuse. Topic locked.

    Here was your first post. Sorry, I don't see anything there that you have just posted in your reply here: Can you see why, as an organisation, we have to be careful and not just let new members start to post about goods for sale? Surely you can?
  25. James H
    There would be nothing stopping you contacting that same member.

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.
