    Congrats Richard! That lighting is perfect. Not to overpowering, but still enough to show off that detail. I like that easy access to the battery too. Also, I knew your daughter would love it. Cheers

    It is an adjustment problem, and the adjustment screws are the ones in the first picture. Each one is for one of the cardinal directions. The fix is in the manual on page 7, and on page 2 is a reference diagram. 37110 micro miller mf70 users guide.pdf

    Can't rush beauty Vince. You're doing an awesome job.

    Looking good Nenad! Glad you made it home alright after getting lost in the jungle.

    She's looking great Boyd! Nice score with the sander.

    Beautiful work Danny. Your partner's going to love it!

    Those lights are really going to set her off nicely Jay. Cool stuff!!

    Very nicely done Richard. The extras add a bit of elegance to her.

    Congrats on the fix Danny! Looks great. Another masterpiece!

    I remember those feelings also. Got them a few times on the different work sites. Show 'em what to do and even demonstrate how to do it, and they still get it wrong. Yeah ---- I've "lost it" a few times!

    Hey the 5th's a charm. Isn't that what they say? Maybe it's the 3rd.

    Looking good Sal! Nice touch with the coaming corners.

    It's coming together nicely Jay. I'll be great for all on-lookers to see a detailed piece of the inner workings of the ship as well as seeing her in all her splendor in one big display. Now I'm considering something along those same lines. Cheers

    Hoping for the best for your mother-in-law Nenad.

    Sorry to hear about the mishap Danny. I think the boat was calculated correctly, the mis-calculation was actually in the thickness of the bottle. But like Grant says, I'm sure the fix will be nothing short of genius.

    Didn't find any videos of the tilt-table but the solution involves making a cradle for both the tilt-table, and the saw itself, and tilting the saw up making the tilt-table level in the process. I own the saw, among other Byrnes tools, but don't have the tilt-table yet. I will be getting it down the road though, and at that point will play around with a design that will work as a home-made jig for it. Tilting the whole saw isn't really a convenient way of using it but it's a whole lot safer. The whole reason this saw doesn't have a tilt-arbor is because you'll lose something in the 90 degree accuracy of it by adjusting it back and forth. By as much as 2-4 degrees...

    I know it's all time consuming, but it's all those little things put together that makes it really pop with detail. Outstanding!

    Thanks Piet!

    Lookin' good there Captain! Nice job with the fairing of all those filler blocks. And modifying the stern for the six-window config. I'll be watching with interest. I was thinking of the five-window myself since that won't require adding stern timbers. Cheers

    Ship in a Christmas Tree ornament. That's gotta be one for the record-books Jesse. Never seen that done before. I'll be interested to see how it all works out as well. Cheers

    I don't think the "ugly duck"/decoy is ugly at all Dave. That little diversion should work flawlessly!

    I'm glad the surgery went well Patrick. Do what the doc says and you'll be up and about in no time.

    Congrats on another beautiful model Clare. This one's been added to my list of kits to get, as soon as I get into the mode of buying something else besides workshop equipment.
  24. GLakie
    Quite the assembly line you have going Piet. Which kind of blackening agent are you using?
  25. GLakie
    You're doing a beautiful job with the rigging Frank, and she looks outstanding!

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.
