    The ship's name and cutters turned out great Ken. She's a splendid looking model. I don't believe the sweeps would be visible when stowed, as they would no doubt be stowed below the spar deck, keeping it uncluttered, so you probably don't need to make those.

    That must have pained you greatly having to paint those beautiful brass carronades Thomas. I know what you mean about measuring the drawings and making the other barrels work. That also works in reverse as the 1:76 scale 24 lb. cannon on my kit are the same size as Chuck's 12 pounders in 1:64 scale. So those will work for the long guns. Still looking to source some brass carronades though.

    Glad to see you're back in the shipyard Patrick!

    Looking good Michael!

    Sure is beautiful Frank.

    Your served lines look great Robb. Definitely worth the effort I think.

    Lookin' good Dave! Those modified carriages at the bow did the trick.

    Just noticed it's your Birthday Jesse! Happy Birthday!

    The ship's boats turned out great, and they look great mounted to the ship John. Good to see you back in the shipyard.

    You did a real fine job with the copper-plating Jesse. Not sure what to tell you on a sealer, as like Jason said, there are a lot of different ideas out there. One thing you could do is to ask one of the Masters here like Chuck, Danny, or EdT. I'm sure they could steer you in the right direction.

    She looks splendid Bob!

    Sorry for your loss Sherry.

    Transmission's probably OK Nenad. The parts in the picture are the clutch-disc and pressure-plate. Just replace those, the thrust-bearing, and adjust the clutch properly, you should be fine. I've fixed many in my time. Trust me. Unless you heard a lot of grinding or banging, the transmission should be fine.

    The castings turned out nice Dave. A method I think I'll but in the old "memory-banks" for future reference.

    Beautiful work Ed! Love it!

    Looking great Brian. Yup - You've peaked my curiosity!
  17. GLakie
    Good luck with that John.

    The deck-house looks great Nenad. Now to turn on Pink Floyd's "Several Species of Small Furry Animals - - - - " and finish the middle one.

    Hope you heal soon Augie, and do what the Doc says. Cheers

    I'm with Ken on this one with the red trucks Dave. I think blue would be over-kill, so-to-speak.
  21. GLakie
    Looking good Dave! I think the color-scheme is starting to grow on me!
  22. GLakie
    Amazing attention to detail Michael! It's all going to add up to be an outstanding piece!
  23. GLakie
    Rat-lines look great Boyd!
  24. GLakie
    It's nice to see the pieces coming together Jay. She's looking great!

    You didn't over-do that Nenad. That's a superb looking cabin, and will be a beautiful addition to "Her Majesty".

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.
