    Good recovery, Sal. Merry Christmas to you and the family.

    Gabe, the only thing I could think of for the gluing is to rough up or scuff the contact areas with some fine sand paper. Increase the bonding surfaces on a micro level. I'm not familiar with your glue brand, but the Titebond and Elmer's yellow glues I use seem to bond and hold quite well. The wood will break before the Titebond does.

    Jim, this boat building hobby really is a group effort. I'm better in some areas and need help in others. And this community is great. Thanks for you comments.

    She's a beauty, Mark. Your build is an incentive for me. Thanks.

    Gary, I'll join in on this build, too. Nice building slip there.

    Karl, that is some beautiful work.
  7. Canute
    Oy, $4K. In my reincarnation, maybe

    If I was much sharper as a machinist (not even close), I might want one. What are the damages for that jewel?
  9. Canute
    Good idea using the thin white scenery glue. The flags have nice folds.
  10. Canute
    Nicely done, Greg. Huge improvement.

    Joss, the rest of the series is just as good. I'm waiting for anything new from the author, although I suppose it will be at least a year or so before his next book is out.

    HMS Hood was a beautiful ship. many of us like her.
  13. Canute
    Nice work with the scribed wood for your cabins. Also like the layout for the clerestory.

    :D :D

    John, nice work on the elm-tree pump.

    Sal, excellent how-to on the jibboom shaping and rigging. beautiful work. :)

    Jim, your build looks very good. Nice job.
  18. Canute
    Yowzah! Congratulations on a job well done. A major milestone!
  19. Canute
    Well done! I really like the tools you added.

    Nice paint job there, Jack. The blue must be somewhat translucent to do it first. These are Ceramcoat paints ?
  21. Canute
    Mike, your cutter is so crisp and clean. Masking is not one of my favorite things, but you have executed it to perfection. Great job!
  22. Canute
    I'd like to follow along too, Don. Good luck.
  23. Canute
    Try some kraft paper, the stuff they make paperbags with. It does have a very fine grit if you're trying to polish some paint. Test first!
  24. Canute
    Nicely done Sal. I'll file that change of wood for my builds.
  25. Canute
    Nicely done, Brian. Your Niagara is coming along quite nicely.

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.
