    Amazing!

    Outstanding painting, Ron! Thanks for letting us know about some of your techniques. I would have never had a clue about how to achieve the results you have described. Thanks!
  3. BobG
    In a word...stunning!

    You'd do a superb job on the Cheerful, Don, especially after seeing the work you are doing on the Winnie.

    This looks like it will be a very interesting project so I'll pull up a chair and follow along. Good luck, Tom!

    I too would love to do a scratch build someday but, like you, I would have no idea of what I was getting into or any advice to offer either! So I'll be very content to follow along on your bold adventure and wish you the best of luck!

    Beautiful work as always, Amalio! I like those c-clamps that you are using. Can you tell me who makes them and where you got them?
  8. BobG
    Simply a beautiful work love, labor and art. Congratulations, Tom, all the accolades and awards you have received are most deserved.

    Another fine model rescued! It looks like the previous builder got a nice start on her. It’s very kind of you to finish this one for his wife. Good luck, Mike. I’m sure your do this project proud.

    B.E. Hmmm…I hadn’t thought about that, BE. I wonder if you could insert part tiny, round rod or toothpick and then carefully cut it off similar to treenailing? Perhaps the scale is too small and not worth it for the effort though…?? Just a thought…

    I’m really looking forward to watching you build this beautiful and unusual ship, Clare.
  12. BobG
    That's a creative idea, Mark!
  13. BobG
    Beautifully done, Paul, and a great build log to boot. Congratulations! What's next?

    Fabulous diorama, Ron!
  15. BobG
    Perfectly explained and very interesting! Thanks Eric!

    Do you just wipe the miniature with isopropyl alcohol and then brush on the weathering powder?
  17. BobG
    The metallic look you achieved on the canons is great, BE! I've only used the weathering powders on a painted surface and it makes sense to use fixative on an unpainted, resin surface. It also looks like you have rounded the square ends of the axles on the canon bases. I think that looks better than just placing a square into a round hole. I was worried that that might make the ends of the axles too small for the holes in the wheels though but it looks like you were able to keep that from happening.

    Not sure that I understand this exactly...can you clarify what you are doing in this technique?
  19. BobG
    I hope you will document the process of building the diorama, Ron. That's a subject that doesn't get a lot of coverage here on MSW.
  20. BobG
    That's about as high as the praise gets for a model ship kit!
  21. BobG
    Glad you're on the mend, Rob. This Covid virus is nothing to take lightly. Getting back into your shipyard may be some very good medicine!
  22. BobG
    Gorgeous, precise work, Justin! Is "brass ager" the brand name of the blackening agent that you use?
  23. BobG
    Wow...this could be a sensational model! Hopefully, it will have instructions and plans that are as good as Chris does on his Vanguard models.
  24. BobG
    Nice work, B-Ram!
  25. BobG
    Absolutely beautiful, Rod. Congratulations on a very fine build!

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.
