    OC, don't feel embarrassed. As you say, MSW is one very big family and while the vast geographical distances between us prevent us from physically assisting you, we can lend you support and encouragement and our prayers.

    Sorry to hear this OC. I echo Carl's and Black Viking's advice connect your local legal authority for advice and assistance. Here in the USA a landlord cannot evict either without a court order.
  3. Jack12477
    I agree with Carl.

    Nice model, Denis. Did you know that you can visit/tour the Seven Foot Knoll lighthouse, oldest screw pile lighthouse in Maryland, at Pier 5 in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. It sits atop the pier now and is open to public. Admiral and I took our granddaughter thru it about 5 years ago. Worth touring. The Thomas Point is open for tours also but not as easy to get to as Seven Foot Knoll.

    Sorry to hear about your health issues. Glad you are back with us. Boat looks great. We wish you a speedy recovery.

    Good luck with the hand surgery. My wife had carpal tunnel plus "trigger finger" surgery done last year on both hands. All is fine now.

    Lettering decals look great Steve. Likewise the draught numbers.

    If these are walnut or dark red-brown in color, they may be the planking for the 2nd planking. Mine has a double planked hull with the 2nd planking being thin walnut strips about 0.5 mm thick.

    Steve, are you still in that area ? If so, I am about 50 plus miles south on west shore of river.
  10. Jack12477
    Looks great, Steve. Cool video. I've heard that soundtrack before.
  11. Jack12477
    looking good Kevin. Like the camo colored wheelie bin also.
  12. Jack12477
    Kevin, page 17 part 59 Cool Jool is the product.
  13. Jack12477
    Kevin, go look at Mahuna's build log of his skipjack Kathryn. He used a gel that acted like a heat synch to protect already done solder joints while he did the next one. Or send him a PM . It seemed to work well for him

    Is she serving "hot tongue and cold shoulder " ?
  15. Jack12477
    I took my granddaughter to see these models 5 years ago, age 7-8, she found it fascinating, even the "mannequins". Great photos! Thanks for posting.
  16. Jack12477
    But isn't that "a cold day in February" for Florida ? <evil grin>

    Sig, the USS England is a Buckley class DE, so you could use it to build the Ruben James.
  18. Jack12477
    Nice ! BTW who did the crow/raven and moose woodcarvings in the background ? You ?
  19. Jack12477
    USS Reuben James (DD-245) Clemsen class destroyer, USS Reuben James (FFG-57) Oliver Hazzard Perry class guided missile frigate or USS Reuben James (DE-153) Buckley class destroyer escort ???

    My ice boat club sailed our club's 50 ft ice yacht Jack Frost 16 miles down that lake at 90 MPH back in the mid 1990s?
  21. Jack12477
    Is that last photo lake Winnepawsakee? Been to Conway, drove a 68 Mustang up Mt Washington road to summit. Scary drive ! Also been to Nubble lighthouse both by land and by sea. Great photos CDW.

    Not that I am aware of. The keel on my finished model measures about 10 inches, the bow to stern measurement at the gunwale is about 16 inches. (Sorry I'm not metric literate ) The box my kit came in gives the dimensions as length 565 mm (22 1/4 inches), height 495 mm (19 1/2 "), beam 115 mm (4 1/2 "), which matches your model kit..
  23. Jack12477
    Thanks Steve. The white lettering are the water slide decals supplied in the kit. Very thin clear backing. I used Microscale Solvaset to get the to lay down tight.
  24. Jack12477
    Steve, try the heavy duty Ziploc freezer bags, sandwich size. Might be strong enough.
  25. Jack12477
    Mike, Fortunately I did not toss out my original kit plans for Mare Jeanne. The hull planking is 1.5 x 5 x 400 mm (quantity 40); deck planking is 0.6 x 5 x 400 mm (quantity 22). Plank sheer is 1.5 x 5 x 230 mm. The kit comes with Ramin wood for these pieces. Hope this helps. Jack

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.
