    toothpicks could be a bit tedious...but then again, you're the master of tediousness 😁
  6. yancovitch

    so so wonderfully wonderful.....right up my alley.....gorgeous....

    yea, some clear flat sprays or whatever don't work very well and almost leave a whitish haze...but i think some do work well.......it's mainly to avoid any plastic like appearance......i find that a satin spray worked well for me, but then again, that was on wood......anyways whatever you do, it will look super!.........smiley

    as wonderful as it looks, my only thought is that i would have preferred a flat finish....but that's just a matter of taste.......cheers, vc

    haha...very nice....i guess using fimo would have been a sacrilege 😀😀
  12. yancovitch
    what about fimo? ..............modeling clay...they have different types....bakes in oven....is what i used to make the sculptures on the royal william.....which although amaturish, came out ok........but traditional wood i understand....
  13. yancovitch

  24. yancovitch
    too much mess...too much fumes...too much dust....too much money....too much strain on the brain trying to figure things out where info is so scarce........just getting too much old and over sensitive i guess....and i've kind of lost interest, as i've built all the styles of ships that i liked..... and my wife has been so patient and supportive.....was fun while it lasted, but i can improve all i want on the piano...or keyboard...(mostly classical, but a bit of everything) and there is none of the above to deal with.....and the house will be so clean from now on 😃......can enjoy looking at whats been done anyways.....thanks all and cheers, ......vc
  25. yancovitch
    ok...basically all is done..just need to add more oars to the trireme and add the eye of horus at the bow......and that's the end of this log....and the end of my model building....will focus mainly on the piano for the time remaining for me.....thanks for all the feedback.....cheers, vic oh...i added the finished version.......

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.
