    Sad news indeed Nenad. You have my sympathies Sir!

    I think your wheel turned out splendid Nenad!

    Is the 1:24 scale Victory one of them Jack?
  6. GLakie
    Nice job Nenad!!

    Being of Celtic background myself, I admire and respect the tribute to your heritage Jack. She looks great!

    Good news indeed Dave!

    Must be nice Piet! Being down there with all that nice warm weather and able to do gardening this time of year. We should be getting a taste of some 60° temps next week finally!

    Wow Dave! You've been busy, and she's looking amazing! Nice work!

    The shrouds and stay look great Bob! She's looking mighty sharp!

    It's a choice to make depending on what you intend to do with it Walt. I only bought mine because somewhere along the line, I plan to to be scratch-building more and more parts, before diving into the "Dark Side". Building fully-framed models. There's plenty of uses for a drill press as well.

    A mill offers vertical and horizontal accuracy along with being better suited to handle the lateral stress, than a drill presses' bearings will.

    Nice work-around with the rigging Sal! Very nice!
  15. GLakie
    That was a great rudder assembly tutorial Ken! Very nicely done!
  16. GLakie
    Amazing detail Patrick! Nicely done!!

    Very nice, clean work Chuck!

    Nice work fitting all those little pieces between the beams Dave. Looks great coming together.

    Very nice Bob!

    Gotta agree with the other guys Mike! The swelling's a dead give-away for an infection. I've got my own stories I won't get into now, but suffice to say, if you see a red line crawling up your arm from your hand, don't wait until it reaches your shoulder before going in. Blood poisoning's nothing to mess with.

    The stern looks splendid Mark. Getting the rest of that taffrail closed up sets her off and gives it that "almost" done feel!
  22. GLakie
    Looking good Tom! It's got to be some pretty tedious/repetitive work on all these cannon!
  23. GLakie
    Ouch!! Looks like that one might need a couple stitches there Mike.
  24. GLakie
    Wow! Beautiful work as always Danny!

    A cheaper way to buy those #11's is by the 100-pack. Amazon has them for around $20, making them about 20¢ apiece, and easier to toss when they start getting dull.

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.
