    Derek this kit is great. Definitely want to see more QAB logs. Bob, the red certainly looks great in your pictures. Makes sense that black would require a few less coats.

    Many thin coats it is. In Chucks post 123 and 125 of his news and forthcoming projects post he explains it very well. Gonna try on some scrap first though. Big round brush, many very thin coats and a lot of patience.

    Thanks Bob. I heated the scraper with the soldering torch and then let it cool down slowly. It seemed to make it easier to file the profile in there. I just used it afterward with good results. Now I have to take my second most hated/feared step, painting. I am always afraid of sneezing right as I put the brush near the model 😅. First being using CA for anything. I did add the top molding but am not so sure of my brush skills so I think I will paint the stripe before I add the lower moulding.

    I am just catching up on your log and I can say this is coming out really well.

    wonderful video although I kinda had some chest pain when I saw the 56$ price tag on the CA.... (Then I looked up the conversion rate😃)

    Great progress Darrell. Glad to see that you are back in the shop. Those ‘small’ boats are really nice. Eventually once this hooha all subsides would love to see em in person at one of our meetings.

    Amazing work there Tony. I am liking that you are rigging it.

    Under the drop down tab at your user name select account settings then the tab named signature. A text box opens up and you can add whatever signature you want. Highlight the text you want to link and proceed as normal to link the specific page.

    Made a better scraper and the results seem much cleaner.

    Thanks Chuck. There are 3 of them so just wanted to check

    Welcome

    Thanks Tom! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to be missing some pieces later on.

    Just a ridiculous question. Is this tab under the rail these rectangles from the same sheet the caprail is on?

    Next up is the decorative moulding for which I had to make a scraper for. This is my second attempt to file a profile. The moulding is 1/32 x 3/64 still a little off center. might try another one
  16. MEDDO
    Looks great! Once the rail is thinned down it really makes it look elegant and light
  17. MEDDO
    Outstanding work. Thank you for sharing details. The rigging discussion was especially enlightening
  18. MEDDO
    Very nice and clean rigging.
  19. MEDDO
    That turned out wonderfully. I really like these small boats.

    Nailing has been completed. Sanded down the excess and everything seems to have come out nicely. Going to paint/coverup the few breakthroughs on the inside then move onto next step. sorry for photo quality taken by phone
  23. MEDDO
    Bob looks really good.

    Interested in and seeing how this turns out. With the significant postponement of the F1 season we have to get our Grand Prix from somewhere.
  25. MEDDO
    Looking really nice there. Pretty soon you’ll be catching up to me

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.
