    Amen to that. I check & double my numbers. Hate screwing up the simple stuff.

    Nice fix, Mike. Tearing up the transom was a brave move.

    Jesse, what did you use to cut the sanding jig, a router bit?
  4. Canute
    Bob, that's some beautiful workmanship! Well done.

    Cap'n, your sails look great. They capture the weather-worn look quite nicely.

    Get a organic solvents breathing mask. I use one when painting or using some glues, like superglue or contact cement. Get them at your favorite home supply place. Replace cartridges as shown in their instructions. And vent your work space/shop. Something as simple as a box fan should do unless you're using the stuff to clean car parts. Large volumes of the solvent - do it outside the house for peace inside the house. Don't tick off the Admiral!

    Carolina Blue = Sky Blue to the rest of the round world.

    Nice work, Dr Per.

    UMM-USA carries this stuff here in the US, too. http://www.umm-usa.com/

    They have a very nice micro saw: http://umm-usa.com/onlinestore/product_info.php?cPath=21_28&products_id=35 I've had one for years and it works well.

    My condolences to the Admiral for her loss. Tiny will be waiting for her across the "Rainbow Bridge" one day. Nice back story with your diorama, Jonny. The ship and setting are excellent! Well done.

    WOW. Beautiful work! Kudoes, mate.
  13. Canute
    Richard, same here. My condolences, mate.

    Jay, it's etched permanently in my being. I watched the Twin Towers being built in the late 60s, while in college. And as an Emergency Manager for the the state of New Jersey, I watched them fall. The heroic 343 firemen and medics who ran into the buildings, along with NYPD and Port Authority police were true heroes that day. We continue to mourn the 3,000 plus folks who died that day. We must never forget this dastardly act.

    Carl, you're right! make sure you use Catopower's Yakatabune build. He has translated a lot of the early instructions for us Japanese language challenged folks.
  16. Canute
    Well done there, Matt.

    Picked up a set of cool grays and black Faber Castell Pitt pens and promptly went to my shipyard to color some edges. Thanks for the steer, Slog. They look good. I touched up all the parts I had previously used the Chartpak pens on. Continued gluing up the hull skins and still puzzling over the stern pieces. I think I have a fix, but I'm going to try it with some re-positional glue first. Also began the paddle wheel housings. Paddle housing support Paddle wheel attachment point, bottom of support Exterior paddle housing. The white semi-circle gets another overlay, but its both an inside and outside cut. I'm looking for a good, smooth semicircle here, with a flat at the top of the paddle. There will be an observation platform perched on top of each paddle wheel housing. The red 52 on the housing is the location for a 3 piece bump-out, glued over that spot. The instructions aren't text, just pictures with numbers and arrows pointing in approximate locations. Thanks for reading.

    Nice metallurgy primer. Thanks.
  19. Canute
    Well done, Mick!
  20. Canute
    I'll vote for that too.

    Check a model railroad shop that stock garden railway items. They may have people in 1/24 scale. The garden RRs are anything from 1/32 to 1/20 scale cars & locos. They use the same track gauge. Very confusing to us more conventional model railroaders.
  22. Canute
    Nice frames, Mick. And a smart move to go for the optivisor; can't have too much light and adequate magnification.
  23. Canute
    Kowabunga, dude. That's small.
  24. Canute
    Might try a sepia tone. Different colors will look interesting.

    Me three! get in on the ground floor of a master work.

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.
