    Looks really good Rob! Just getting over the same bug myself, glad you’re well. Please keep it coming as I am really enjoying this build.

    Hi Rob, know the feeling well. The wife and me years ago bought a house to flip and it turned into a 2 year project. She looks good and you can never go wrong with replacing/adding doors and windows. BTW it snowed here today 🤮 Jeff

    Just catching up. Good to see your back at it. Ahhhhh, you found out about GS hypo cement. The stuff is a God send. Price is right too! Detail is superb, please keep it coming Bro!

    It was good to come and finally see your new Man Cave and all of the cool stuff you have. I was blown away literally! Thanks again for the neat trick with the shim stock technique. I forwarded the pics of your live steam layout to a model railroad buddy of mine and he was greatly impressed. I also told him about the Model Engineer website. I had a chance to peruse the Rio Grande website so thanks for the tip-off. I didn't see the fine cloth sandpaper there... was that possibly Rock and Gem? I forgot. I am going to try your bulwark technique on my Wivern. The link to the build is here: http://www.bottledshipbuilder.com/topic/423-hms-wivern-by-chausseur/?tab=comments#comment-5094

    I remember first viewing this model in the Stanley Milner Library and correct me if I am wrong it used to be the Edmonton Centennial Library at one time. I remember taking the time to view it and was in awe at all of the detail and its enormous size in the glass case. Then when you posted it's fate I was in aghast at what had happened! Now I look forward to taking a trip back to the library to see it in its former glory once you finish the project. The model is really shaping up and your dedication as a craftsman/artisan is really starting to pay off! Can't wait to see it in person up close ...Jeff

    Ditto good to see you back in the Man Cave!

    Hi, Michael good to see you back in your Man Cave and it looks Awesome! You have exactly the same airbrush I use if... yours is the double-acting model? I have found Testors Model Master paints whether acrylic or enamels to work extremely well with Paasche. Most of Model Master paints will work right out of the jug with no mixing/thinner except white. On another note, my favorite hobby shop discontinued Model Master paints due to some trade wars happening on the border. Fortunately, I believe you can still order them online. Looking good my friend ...Jeff

    Looking good Mark! Unbelievable how technology has revolutionized the modeling industry. Jeff

    Outstanding Nils, the long boat with crew beside her sets Chebec apart as a very unique model. Beautiful work as usual ...Jeff
  12. Chasseur
    Simply outstanding Nils!

    Let's see: Brass meister, Sailmeister, and now repair meister, what can I say Nils? Thank goodness it wasn't worse!

    Hi Mark, good to see you're making some sawdust and laser smoke in your man cave!
  15. Chasseur
    Wow, Marc! You definitely have the ultimate man cave. Love the work on the Cutty. As we age light is definitely an asset. I find I can't have too much light when I work now. Keep posting! Jeff
  16. Chasseur
    Hey Nils you continue to amaze me, not only are you the Brass Meister now I can add the Sail Meister to your Resume' Looks like your pooch wants in on the action?
  17. Chasseur
    Hey Mark coming along nice. I feel your pain about the glasses, sucks to get old my friend! A tip a guy told us at a workshop about eye strain is not to focus more than 15minutes whether at the computer screen or what have you. He said you need to look away and focus on something 5-10 feet away to give the eyes a break.
  18. Chasseur
    Well Michael I know you’re the machine Meister and judging from Colin’s response it sounds like he is the paint Meister here on MSW. I am sure you’ll do a great restoration of the paint.
  19. Chasseur
    Looking Awesome Nils!
  20. Chasseur
    Hey, Jesse looking Splendid! Where did you get that little magnifier that is situated on your bench just above the bowsprit?
  21. Chasseur
    Wonderbar Nils!
  22. Chasseur
    Yes correct Nils. I am slowly trying to get the Presseun done. 2017 was a very bad year for me lots of family issues and the father in Law passed. Hopefully 2018 will go better. You’re right the Presseun in 1:96 would be costly and time consuming however if there was one gentleman that could pull it off that would be you Nils. Blessings on the Chebec build ... Jeff
  23. Chasseur
    Hi Nils, I finally caught up to this one and as usual you continue to blow me away with your building style and ingenuity. You still hold the title of Brassmeister on MSW. I love how you worked in some cut away sections on the Chebec. Also that’s quit the Motley crew you have there most excellent Nils!!!!
  24. Chasseur
    Hang in there Rob all in due time. We are all truly blessed to have a great hobby like model ship building. No fear, No pressure! Jeff
  25. Chasseur

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.
