    Getting that hull to the point I was happy with it, took the best part of a week. Constant sanding, filling, sanding, filling, touch-ups etc. It's hard work, but it is worth the effort.
  2. James H
    She's looking real nice. Sorry I was only just alerted to this log by @chris watton. You'll find this one an easy rig too. Looking forward to seeing her complete.

    If you are receiving updates about it, then you'll need to 'unfollow'. If that's not the case, just scroll on by and ignore the topic.

    We've plenty of Vanguard kit logs here and you'll get some first-hand help too from others including Chris and myself. You can look at the instructions online at their site and some abridged prototype build logs in my MSW signature, below.

    You can just run a steam iron over the sails and the creases disappear instantly. When applying dye, you'll need to scrunch them up anyway to remove any remaining dye and water before letting them dry. That's when I use the steam iron, with the sails protected between a couple of pieces of paper towel.

    She's currently sat under my bench, staring at me and needing some work doing!
  7. James H
    As soon as we have it

    Looking real nice, and those hull side curves really are something. 😎
  9. James H
    Most difficult? Has she tried an Aeropiccolo kit?
  10. James H
    That really is coming together really well. The deck is quite a perfect fit when located into the slot at each bulkhead ear. Sounds like you handled that nicely.

    As this is a VM-product topic, you'll now be able to check out the link for the new, more refined 22ft cutter hull. On the site right now! 😉😚

    No changes have been made to MSW whatsoever, except for a cache setting in our Sucuri panel, which is now reverted. Again, clear cache/cookies. I suggest if you use an old bookmark to access the site, remove it and create a new one with a clean history visit.
  13. James H
    All I can suggest for this is you clear cache/cookies and force refresh the site. I have no other answers, but doing all those should fix your problem.
  14. James H
    Check my response above.
  15. James H
    Try force refreshing site. I also just cleared cache on site.
  16. James H
    I've also cleared system cache too, just to be on safe side.
  17. James H
    Force refresh the site.

    Ok, I've tried, unsuccessfully, to replicate an error. If you have had this problem, please can you PM me only with the following information, as it makes it easier than trawling through one large conversation: 1. How many photos did you last upload to get the error? 2. How long have you experienced this error for? 3. What image format are you uploading (jpeg, jpg, JPG etc.)? 4. Are you experiencing the problem on UPLOAD or after, when you click the SUBMIT button? Please don't supply any other info unless you think it's relevant. I'm going to lock this topic now as this is the only way to look at data from individuals about this problem.
  19. James H
    Yes, but does this, from memory, go back further than early December?
  20. James H
    One thing is for certain, nothing has actually changed here with regard to software updates since December 8th. Are these problems from that point or going back way further?
  21. James H
    Not long to go then I'm about to start a couple of little boats and the next fisher in the series.
  22. James H
    There's hardly any taper on these. I just spun it in my fingers and sanded with a block 😁
  23. James H
    It is still there. I'm still currently trying to fathom it out. Whatever the problem is, it's likely a host issue setting that needs to be fathomed, or it could be caused by our Sucuri proxy. This will take some time, especially as it's now Christmas and I have numerous other family commitments that will take priority. For the time, just keep re-uploading any failed images.
  24. James H
    Ok, I'll look more closely at this tonight.
  25. James H
    That's looking real nice without a doubt. One way of stopping bleed around masking like that is to first apply a little thinned varnish to the paint area after masking, so the varnish creates a seal the paint can't bleed through.

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.
