    Looks like time well spent B.E.👍

    It's 1,75x magnifying...for me that's more then enough I get your point on moving around, but then I can always use the headband with the magnifying glass. For me it was the point of a stand alone magnifyer so I can work on a particular spot without seeing everything around me up-close

    Smart jig for the waterways! And nice scarph joints 👌

    I'm not so far of beginning to apply the decoration on the Sphinx i'm building...nice to read how you are doing it! Sounds like a stress free method, will keep this in mind. Tnx!

    Just received this. I've been looking for a good magnifying glass for a while. I always used a headband with a small magnifying glass over my eyes... but what I always found annoying about that was, for example, when I was painting, it was nice to have a magnified image while painting, but as soon as you had to dip your brush in the paint pot, you always had to look past it to avoid getting cross-eyed and nauseous, haha. Now I've tried a few standing desk magnifying glasses, but I found them all too big and bulky for my narrow table. And this one is just right, magnifies well, has nice "daylight," and a flexible arm. I know it's a good brand because my mother, a painter, has been using a larger version of this brand for years. They're not cheap (in my opinion), but quality comes at a price.

    What you don't want is the Amati "master cut"...I know that's not between your options, but maybe I can prevent someone else to make the mistake to buy one. I know from experience it's quite worthless 🙂 Amati "master cut"

    That's a nice finish! Looking beautiful 👌

    This! 🙂 Ship modelling would be much more less enjoyable without a disc sander in my opinion. I use the Proxxon one and I am pleased with that one 🙂

    Good start on this ship! 👌

    That is beautiful work Alessandro!

    That is a beautiful looking stern! And I like the design improvements like the tabs for the sternfacia to sit on, clever stuff! And interesting there are no wales, something I didn't know until now

    To be honest...if I wanted to build a Victory, only the Caldercraft one would be good enough in my opinion.

    I never experienced staines from the graphite myself If you've applied it as neatly and smoothly as you did, I don't see how the graphite would end up on top of the deck and be smeared by the sandpaper. Some people use a scraper afterward to smooth the deck (not sure if that prevents the stains), but I've always used sandpaper myself and haven't encountered any problems.

    Nice paintwork Glenn 👍

    Wish you all the light in these days Kevin, and i'm looking forward to see this ship build by you
  23. Ronald-V
    Not far off completion anymore

    What a beautiful work so far Palmerit! And nice upgrades from Syren 👌

    Thanks Frecap! Yes color choice is not an easy task, because it can make or break a model in my opinion. We will see how it's going to turn out...will be exciting!

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.
