    A Psychologist would probably say that I can’t let things go… 😀

    Problem solved James… Thanks for your suggestion… I simply cleared my browsing history to “all time” on the IPad and the MSW browsing experience was back to normal Strange that only the MSW website was affected given I have about 35 other tabs open on my Safari browser. Anyways, thanks!

    Thanks for your reply Paul… The resolution you noted doesn’t seem to work for me.. It’s strange as this happens only on MSW and just recently started. Cheers,

    There has been a change in the browser experience when scrolling on MSW for me and my IPad. I noticed in the last 5-6 days when scrolling, the page is constantly refreshing and not loading the page in its entirety (at once) when first on the page. Quite irritating and it is only with MSW’s website on my Safari browser. Not sure why and if anyone else has this problem?

    Very nice! Thanks for sharing the pictures of the model ship exhibition! I have been to the Scheepvaart Museum but I must go one year, one weekend to the model ship exhibition.

    Thanks Ronald for your reply... Yes, these creations really start to come alive with the deck fittings.
  19. mrcc
    Here is some wider perspective shots should anyone be interested. Deck fittings and railing is now done... which was easy work. PS I had to cut some strip wood from some darker walnut stock I have in order to get all the deck fitting matching to a darker walnut The last picture is the included boats with the kit. I will try and "pump" them up a bit but if that fails I reached out to Kolderstock models in Holland as they have a scaled replacement boat that looks very good! I will be taking a little break now as I have a ton of fall yard work to do at this time and also to get ready for the winter tires on the vehicles. Plus perhaps pay a little more attention to my wife 😊

    More details completed on the deck... first the railings and then the bits. Materials are always tight with the old vinatge Mamoli kits. I bought a used Proxxon saw and have started to put it to good use, specifically for the 2x3 strips.

    Very nice build log... thanks for sharing!

    The details are now all in at the bow and officially completed including the catheads. I will just do a little bit of walnut fill at some of the seams of the cathead planks to tidy them up. The cathead pieces were originally just mahogany plywood pieces and definitely needed to be framed out Cheers to everyone!

    Working on the bow at this time... Instructions were not completely clear but figured it out quite quickly once investigating some of the other build logs and studied how they did it. The close up photos are not as flattering as compared in real life with the eye.

    Hey Robert… Awesome job on this kit! You are a real master!
  27. mrcc
    A little update... worked on a few little things at the bow according to the instructions. Also, framed out the figurehead, prepared the cathead for install at a later stage, stem ornaments had to be cut back a small amount in order to fit, prepared the rudder hinges, and finally painted the hull.

    Looks great!

    Just a final posting referencing how I did this step of the build. Sorry if the pictures seems obvious but on all the build logs out there, there just was not much pictorial information out there.

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.
