    I just found your Bracera build log and it is a very beautiful model! Well done, Elmir! Are you building another model now?

    Beautiful model, Daniel. Well done! What will you be building next?

    Beautiful work, Travis!

    Excellent planking, Thukydides!

    Your model is really taking shape, Mark, and it's going to be special when you have her all done. Nice work!

    The model of this legendary ship is so cool! This will be on my ever growing tick list. It sounds like you had a fantastic trip, Hake. I'd be interested to know what your research is that took you France and Sweden.

    Fantastic model and beautifully displayed in that elegant case! Is that the Cheerful in the box?
  8. BobG
    I can't imagine how much more "glam" it could get, Grant, since it's already so beautiful!

    I just found your build log, Doug, so I'll follow along too since I'm about to start building the Flirt also. I look forward to seeing your progress.

    I just happened to stumble across your build log for the Lady Smith. Great job! She's a beautiful and unusual model.

    The sails look great and thanks for the demonstration of how you make them.

    Are you making a build log, Paul?
  13. BobG
    Very nicely done, BE, and a good explanation of your process.
  14. BobG
    Very nice, Daniel, the rigging will bring your model to life!
  15. BobG
    Stunningly beautiful work, Grant!!

    I've heard that Model Expo is really good at quickly replacing defective parts etc. I think they would probably be glad to send you some longer pieces of thread if emailed them and explained the problem. I wouldn't think that it would take too long for a simple letter with the thread inside to reach Australia. It not like it's a package which takes a long time...just a thought...

    Nothing that a bit of filler and a good sanding won't fix, Mark. She's coming along nicely!

    Hello Grant, I still haven't made it back into the shipyard yet. I keep getting sidetracked by other things: a week in San Francisco to celebrate my 75th birthday, out of town guests, lots of time watching our beloved San Francisco Giants who are now in the championship playoffs, many hours getting my winter, container garden planted (about 30 containers), and having a hard time pulling myself away from my guitars. I have also been spending way to much time reading lots of great build logs and admiring work like you are doing on your Steam Pumper. I haven't started another build but the Vanguard Flirt has made it off the shelf and onto my modeling table. I will be building it alongside the Pen Duick and will be starting soon...slowly...but surely. My shipyard has been shuttered for far too long... Thanks for stopping by and giving me a little nudge!

    Welcome to MSW, Ugo. Your miniatures and the naval guns are fantastic!
  20. BobG
    Fantastic planking, Derek. I get it about painting the hull but, geez, it is so beautiful just as it is...
  21. BobG
    The model by Jan Zwart is amazing!! I've never seen anything like that. It must have taken a very long time to build it. It's a masterpiece!
  22. BobG
    No need to apologize for anything, Roger. I didn't think your post was critical at all. I was just suggesting that a flex shaft attachment can be added to a Dremel or a Proxxon rotary tool which then gives you a very slim tool to use.
  23. BobG
    Dremel and Porxxon both make flex shaft attachments which essentially solves the problem of working with "a heavy, fat" rotary tool though.
  24. BobG
    Well that certainly puts my iPhone to shame! Very interesting though. Thanks for posting these pro techniques.
  25. BobG
    This is going to be a wonderful model when you're finished, Hake. Safe travels!

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.
