    No magnifiers Nenad? Wow, that's amazing what you have accomplished on such small details without a powerful magnifier. I sure couldn't. Cheers

    More beautiful work Ed! Amazing!

    Awesome assembly-line Frank!

    Nice work on the framing Dave! I like your use of the bamboo. Think I'll pick some up when I get some poplar, for my slicing trials.

    I can't really tell how big that unit is over-all Matt, but I think a really tiny screw would be better, considering all the rest of the great detail. Maybe send ST 2 out for a daylight raid to a dollar store for a couple pair of plastic rimmed glasses (per Steve's suggestion)? The plastic ones have thicker and wider arms, hence a longer screw. Dollar Tree has them for a dollar. Just a thought.

    Nice job on the stern Tom! Happy St. Patty's Day!

    Glad you found the right size Rich.

    Always been something of a history buff myself Piet, and even though these stories are printed in books and found in computers, it's still left up to those of us interested in historical events, to pass these stories along to the younger ones verbally, because as long as there's a story to be told about us, or our ancestors, they never really die. They live on in those stories.

    Sounds like a great trip and an awesome up-coming new build.
  11. GLakie
    Rich, have you tried either one of these? http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/index.htm or http://www.bluejacketinc.com/index.php

    Looks like it'll be a fitting berth for her Jay. How was the vacation? Hope you had a great time. Cheers

    Thanks Dennis: Your decals look great from what I can see. I have seen a CD software update available, but not the standard edition on the Testors web-site. Gonna keep checking for it though. Thanks again! Cheers

    All this time, I thought it was just "Cat damage prevention technology".

    Those look real nice Nenad! Nice job! Cheers

    A fine looking gun there Matt! With all that fire-power, she'll instill fear in the hearts and minds of any man! (And squirrel)

    Nice job fitting the keel, stem, and stern-post! Now, after cutting a rabbet next to them, your planks will have something to seat into. The sawdust I would use is some from the same wood as the plank right there. It won't match all of it but having 3 different colors right there makes it tough. The best way would be to pull that section of plank out and cut one with a better fit, then use the darker color on the stem to fill the rest. IMHO. Cheers

    Can't wait to see her all put together Dennis. Amazing attention to detail. I'd be curious as to the decal program you're using and whether it's still available and where to get it. I see Hobby Lobby sells decal paper, hardener, and bonder, but nothing else, at least on-line.

    She's standing tall now John! Spars for her width come next? Cheers

    Like Dennis said Rich: Knowing what their purpose is, and what they're called, is half the battle.
  21. GLakie
    Spiders have been busy!
  22. GLakie
    Glad to see you feeling better and back in the old shipyard there Captain. Good job sorting out the sling and parrels. Cheers
  23. GLakie
    Those external ribs definitely gives her some style Dick! Very nice! Cheers
  24. GLakie
    Precarious to say the least Bob, but definitely strong enough! Cheers
  25. GLakie
    Hey Matt----Is that the same as the world renown award Scarlet Order of the Squirrels? Cheers

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.
