    Better late than never, Jack. Pulling up a stool to watch all this. The sparse instructions have to be disheartening, but superior skill and cunning will overcome. And an adult beverage for when you run out of ideas. I like it!

    OC, make the sub a separate build, if you would. These are distinctly different builds, so rolling them together won't look good. And it'll be easier for others to search for these builds. My 2 cents.

    Looks like a winner, Clare! I'll be waiting for the build log.

    Ronald, any special codes they may use will show on their Web Specials pages. Like Jack says, they're moving, so I'd hunker down until after Dec 1.

    Ken, I'm going to grab a seat next to the Cap'n. I'll bring some popcorn.

    Jay, that is some great looking work. I am in awe.

    Happy 240th, USMC.

    Jerry, I'd check out "Arming the Fleet", from the Naval Institute Press. I'm not at home or I'd check my copy for you.

    Jazzchip, I agree with you about that website. I like to check it out occasionally to see if anything new is in the works. We have a pretty good library where I live, so I usually start with them.

    Just started reading Parkinson, seems pretty good. Dewey Lambdin's books are pretty good, too. And I heartily recommend any of Stockwin's, Kent's, O'Brian's and Forester's books, too.

    Nicely done, Erik. Looks good. Thanks for sharing.

    What they've all said. It is a jewel, Ken.

    Dr Per, thanks for this review. Looking forward to the other review and tutorial.

    Excellent searchlights, Greg. Well done!

    Happy Birthday, Augie. Get well soon.

    Jonny, the longboat is looking good. Nice tight planking. Well done. Wow. Lily is getting big now. My shepherd/healer mix has a few squeak toys he's accumulated, too. They must like to make noise without barking, for some strange dog reason. And I don't understand why folks dress up their pups in silly costumes. We once put a coat on one of our dogs (wintertime in the Northeast US is c-c-c-cold). She pulled a Houdini and got out of the coat, although I think her companion may have had something to do with the transition.

    George, shop around. You could save a little. Been looking at these myself. Minicasting andDiscount Campus are around $105 US and the Mikes Tooling about $110. http://www.minicastings.com/acatalog/SHL-3750.html http://www.discountcampus.com/store/sherlineacc.htm#mill http://www.mikestools.com/3750-Sherline-Tilting-Angle-Table.aspx

    Matt, nicely done. Your rigging is looking good.

    Julie, I've used pin or brad nailers building bench work/track supports in model railroading, but I think you'll get way too much tear out in the bulkheads, frames and planking we use in model shipbuilding. The air pressure you use with these slams the pin into the wood. If you have to realign your wood, it could splinter on you. I'd use a hand tool, like needle nose pliers or the tool I saw in the MicroMark catalog,(http://www.micromark.com/pin-insertion-plier,10735.html) to push pins in.

    Well done on the coppering Jesse. And a happy belated birthday.
  21. Canute
    Very nice, Grant. I've bookmarked this for my someday Amati/Victory Granado Build.
  22. Canute
    Nice save, J.
  23. Canute
    I bought some items from a Canadian firm a while back. They sat in Chicago for 2 weeks. The actual transit time was 1 day in Ontario and 2 days from Chicago to western NC.
  24. Canute
    Get well soon. There's a bunch of us putting out those good vibrations. :D

    Nicely done, Adam. Tools need to become extensions of our hands, so we don't have to continuously think about them.

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.
