    Let's call you Bob then

    Welcome to MSW. Your craftsmanship is exceptional. Can't wait to see more of your work. MSW is 11yrs old now, and I still find is amazing that modellers are still only just finding out about us and deciding to join us and share their skills. It makes everything more than worthwhile.

    Do you mean the banners? Dirk is right, this is custom text that is added through a widget. This is called PHP & TXT Widget, available from the IPS Marketplace. You must create the text through an HTML program, such as Kompozer etc, and then paste the HTML into the custom text field. https://invisionpower.com/files/file/7337-txt-php-widget/

    What? MSW is owned by the NRG. It is in the NRG's interests to increase its membership anyway it can, to promote this hobby, and as MSW is a part of their operations, then I can't see why it would be unusual to have this displayed under their avatar. Whilst you don't need, and never will need to be a member of NRG to access this site, please remember the fact that you can post here today is because of the commitment of the NRG in both financial terms and man-hours in administering. Unlike some hobby sites, MSW doesn't have in-your-face advertising and pop-ups to distract your visit. In the bigger scheme of things, advertising that a member is a part of the NRG is a simple way to let members know that you can indeed become an NRG member, as well as a member of this site. It does not imply that being a guild member makes you a better modeller. That is pretty absurd.

    The Amati loom-a-line is fantastic! Fantastic as a wedge to keep your workshop door open.

    This one has been explained several times. You and the staff will be able to see your own NRG number. Others cannot. The reason that visibility of your number is restricted is for data protection, plus the use of the number can gain discounts or other advantages for someone, should it be used incorrectly.

    Very good advice, all round. This is my way of working for thinning and lubing my Iwata.

    If we empty every 2 months, then it's likely that a member will realise he deleted a topic in that time, unless he only did the day before we empty. Please remember that that there is a responsibility on members for their own actions too. We have given you the tools and we ask that you use them responsibly and really look at what buttons you're pressing.

    Mindblowing!

    I use Iwata airbrushes (HP-CH and HP-C+) for my magazine work, powered by an Iwata Smart Jet Pro compressor. All of my paints are thinned 50:50 with Mr Levelling Thinner. Those paints would be Gunze and Tamiya. I also use Mr Paint http://mrpaint.sk which is pre-thinned and ready for immediate airbrush use.

    If you click Like on a post, this gives a reputation point. As for our look, remember there are three themes to choose from, and these can be changed from the bottom of the page.

    Is the extraction unit rated for operation in explosive atmospheres?

    Here's a review:

    I can promise you won't be disappointed. Myself and a number of friends have invested in these workstations. The beauty is that you can buy whatever units you need, and tailor them to your own bench space. Totally flexible. Here's their promo vid:

    Maybe you should head to HobbyZone They make the most amazing workstation units that are interlinked with powerful magnets, so you can rearrange the modules as to how you like them. The quality is top rate, and they are beautifully designed. Here's my setup:

    I really have to try my hand at Victory.

    No politics here guys, there is no place for it.... We are a hobby site.

    This is a question about modelling, not website issues, so I'm moving to appropriate forum.
  22. James H
    Thank you for posting those Suzanne. That model deserves pride of place. Thank you do much for sharing these images of your father's work.
  23. James H
    Hi Suzanne, Please allow me to extend my deepest sympathies to you and your family at this time. 67 is far too young to pass, and I can't even begin to imagine the heartache and sadness you'll be feeling now. John will be sorely missed here. At MSW, he was amongst friends too. Please pass my regards to your family. I'm thinking of them. Jim

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.
