    Two thumbs up for your craftsmanship. The section is a beauty. And kudoes to your Admiral for the HD cleanup.

    Jonny, see if they have some pre-cut shelves. I picked up a piece 30cm by 60 cm for not much.

    Matt, really like that turret cannon. You and the clans have done some good work. Keep at it.
  4. Canute
    Ditto for me. That transition is outstanding!
  5. Canute
    Looks very good, Erik.
  6. Canute
    Absolutely! Happy wife, happy life. :D

    Excellent swag, Jonny. The MS kit is very good and the instructions are from Master Chuck Passaro. :) And a Cadbury chocolate orange? I love them. Congratulations and enjoy them all.

    Family first, they say. We'll see the photos when you can get them done. Bye the bye, aren't wee pups fun critters? Unconditional love wrapped up in fur. Very nice!

    May want to use them in a drill press to reduce/eliminate the sideways stresses. It'll slow your progress down a little, but saves funds in the long run.

    You are a master of "painting with wood". The cross section is sensational. Keep the pix and commentary coming, Mobbsie!

    Cripes, with that machine, you could turn out barrel staves and start your own coopering works (in 1/16 scale, maybe) Seriously, Mark, those parts look great. Were those drawn in CorelDraw or some other drafting program? I'm debating what program to pursue for drawing up parts.

    What the Cap'n means: Fuhgedaboudit! We're all waiting to hear of our hero's (?) adventures. Whenever you're ready, that is.
  13. Canute
    You won't need very long to "fowl" it up. The devil made me do it.

    Matt, get an Optivisor or a good sized magnifying lens on a flexible arm, with lighting built into it. I use both, depending on the job. You only get one set of those eyeballs; don't screw them up. I like the look of the bare brass work, but unfortunately the stuff tarnishes. Unless the clans can get in there to keep it polished, I'd blacken it.

    Clare, it looks a well thought out kit. A nice, graceful craft. The CNC milling and wood selection really helps to make it a beauty. Thanks for sharing it.

    C.H., would using shorter planks make much difference? I'm still a newby at this plank bending business, but I've read other more knowledge folk and this might be an option.

    Jonny, name her Poppy and then you can call her Sweet Pea. Sweet Pea was the baby in the old Popeye cartoons. Although it may have been pronounced "Swee' pea". And it was the ship's nickname for the US heavy cruiser Pensacola.

    Matt, the windlass looks great. Kudoes to you and the crew.
  19. Canute
    Congratulations. You now have a bundle of love wrapped in fur. What is her name? Enjoy the holiday.
  20. Canute
    A somewhat late birthday wish, Mark. And I hope the work you do now will preclude a Version 3. Slainte, birthday boy!
  21. Canute
    Clare, interesting vessel. I'd like to follow along.
  22. Canute
    Bill, your detailing is outstanding. Really enjoy following your build!
  23. Canute
    Nice pumps, Brian.
  24. Canute
    Cathead, nice looking hull. Really shows off the curves around the bow.
  25. Canute
    Erik, lay a thin strip of wood from the bow to the stern at several points. The strip should lay flat if properly faired.

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.
