    Steve, The shrouds and stays are where you will want to try your serving techniques. Get with OtherSteve regarding his rigging project. He did a good job in serving IIRC.

    Steve, The gammoning looks great. I am glad you chose NOT to serve it. I agree with Phil, detail is great, but there comes a time when 'close enough' is good enough. If you worry about absolute authenticity, you will never finish. What's a pirate's favourite letter?

    PS-Thanks for reminding me. I just ordered 5 x CT303012000
  24. Chuck Seiler started following The Gokstad Ship 900 AD by Siggi52 - 1:50 , Martindale blades for Byrnes saw... , These tariffs simply won’t do. Dry dock models very expensive model parts. EDIT: There has been a resolution. and 2 others

    Martindale acquired Malco a few months back. As a Malco customer I got notification. Malco is becoming 'part of the team' so Greg and company are still players. Since it will take awhile to incorporate Malco stock into their catalogue, I was told to continue to order thru Malco.

    Ron, Understood. Having grown up in Warminster, PA, I was using this as an opportunity to wiff on New Jersey.
  28. Chuck Seiler
    You should have gone with Modeller's Sawmill. I believe the tariff from New Jersey is much lower. 😁
  29. Chuck Seiler
    FYI, MALCO has recently been acquired by Martindale Electric Company. I received that info in an email a few days ago. If you are doing business with MALCO you will probably get the same.

    Estaban, I am a big fan of placing one figure in a strategic location to give perspective. I do feel, though, that the use of a base detracts. In the past I have placed a small hole in one or both feet and pinned the figure to the deck. Will discuss in 2 weeks.

    Patina and Stain: Did you get those from Pavel or a local source?

    I have the Ultimation hand disk sander as well. In general, I don't like it as much as my Byrnes disk sander, but it is far more portable...and quite useful. I find, however, it must be clamped to the workbench or it slides all over the place.
  33. Chuck Seiler
    I remember seeing a model in a museum in the LA area where the 'pot metal' parts had all disintegrated into piles of grayish-white dust. I was told they were the lead fitting used a loooong time ago. I think the newer mystery metals such as Britannia don't do that (at least in my lifetime).
  34. Chuck Seiler
    Those rope seizings look really good.

    Siggi, Amazing work! What are you using for nails/rivets?

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.
