    Paul Sellers has some very informative videos on YouTube on the subject of sharpening chisels and building your own sharpening jig. I personally found them very helpful in learning how to correctly sharpen chisels and plane blades. Here's a sample of one of his videos

    Love the colors in the tunic. Lighting makes it pop also. Nice work Alan! Nice photography also.

  24. Jack12477
    Nice looking model ! 👌
  25. Jack12477
    That's disgusting! Sorry to hear that, Chuck.
  26. Jack12477
    Outstanding photos Eric
  27. Jack12477
    The principle is the same, Eric, regardless of "camera" type. If you have a real camera store close by, ask the owner or senior photo tech to show you how. The Apple Store is staffed with computer geeks not photographers.
  28. Jack12477
    If the camera has a Tungsten/Indoor setting, use it instead of Auto. But if your indoor lighting is 5600K (Kelvin) LEDs, then use the Daylight setting. If you're an old film guy like me and have a set of the old Kodak Gray Scale step cards and Color Cards use them to color balance or use an 18% reflective grey card with the white reverse side then use the White side to adjust white balance. Most indoor lighting is around 3200K From "An old 35mm film photographer" who still has all his old equipment and darkroom. Those last two overall photos look fine. Nice job blending foregroundvwith background.
  29. Jack12477
    Nice detail!
  30. Jack12477
  31. Jack12477
    Another superlative figure Alan. Great job. The lighting is much better in the last group of photos, brings out the details better.
  32. Jack12477
    The darker brown definitely makes the tunic stand out more. Nice job.
  33. Jack12477
    Double Wow ! Amazing !
  34. Jack12477
    As a general rule, whenever I get a Model Shipways kit I throw out the included rigging thread and purchase the equivalent size SYREN thread from Chuck. Works and looks a whole lot better. Great looking model, Sal. Nice job 👏

    I know ! I was on the "bleeding edge" of it as a programmer for 40 years with "Big Blue"

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.
