    Thanks for all the kind comments. I replaced the stern davits with ones that are more to scale made from brass rod. i have framed the second lifeboat so we will see how that pops out of the mold.

    I decided to attempt to make the deck rings for the air scoops from mahogany. Was very gently on the cutting as it is very difficulty because it is such a soft wood. Before sanding i saturated them with thin CA to give the wood cells some strength and to prevent them from breaking. Used the Turbo Carver to sand as it is very gentle on the pieces. To my amazement none of them broke.

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.
