    Nice work, with those stun'sails flying!
  2. Canute
    Try it before you jump off that pier, Cap'n.
  3. Canute
    Cathead, excellent tip. I've got those pieces ready for the rest of the planking.
  4. Canute
    Don't see why it wouldn't work. Don't leave tape on too long after you're done or it will pull up the paint edge.

    A tad late to this clambake, but I'll pull up a seat and an appropriate libation. One of my favorite ships, but my skills need a lot of honing afore I attempt this jewel. here's to a great build, Cap'n !

    OC, I've used 3M blue masking tape laid down on a piece of plate glass. That will take some of the stickiness off and you can cut it to width with a knife and metal straight edge. If you have a well stocked local hobby shop (LHS), you might to see if they carry Tamiya brand masking tape. It's low tack and pretty flexible. Comes in various widths. A bit pricier than the blue masking tape, but it is a very good product.

    Druxey, thanks for the added info. I have a can of it sitting down in the shop.

    Ahh, my ole bent wing buddy! Got around 4K hours in most USAF marks of the Phabulous Phantom, with about 2.2 K hours in those E models. Thanks for displaying the old girl. Cheers and Slainte!

    Nice F-4E.

    Druxey, coat the side without printing or both sides? With wood, I'd seal both sides before using acrylics, else we get potato chips/crisps. Pitting paint over the printing seems counter intuitive. Clare, the grates look very good. Last order I got from Poland/Ukraine, it sat in a NY post office over a week. Customs, I presume. Took <1 day to get from NYC to the hinterlands of western NC. Must have used an SR-71.

    Outstanding joinery there, mate. Well done!
  12. Canute
    Claire, some good tips. Where did you source the GPM parts? The carriages do look good.

    I was contemplating my garboards and sheer planks, in order to add the next planks. One sheet of the laser cut planks has a very pronounced cross grain, so it looks like the outside will get painted. I'd have to go very dark and the grain still would show. Then, looking at the bow, I realized the hood ends did not remain in the rabbets. Arggh! Up with that, I will not put! Out came the IPA (no, Cap'n, not any kind of ale) and 5 minutes later, I popped the sheer planks off. (Ya know, I could have used a Smithwicks about then. Down to me last Guinness now ) Cleaned off the old glue and I will very carefully, with more lighting and my good old optivisor, re-glue the sheers. I've been putzing around on this hull long enough. Sorry for the building buffoonery, mates!

    Bryan, you may have to get a mask with organic filters.
  15. Canute
    A beauty, Matt. Congratulations. And yeah, it should be in a case.
  16. Canute
    My copy arrived in the post on Monday.
  17. Canute
    Aye, I'm with Cap'n Steve on quantity. Those wee barracoes dinae hold much rum. Hae many laddies in ST1, eh? Mayhap you'll need to lay in more rum. The hull work is looking good, Matt. I can't wait to see what new developments turn up from the Nutz Brothers. very fertile imaginations
  18. Canute
    Looking good, Mobbsie!
  19. Canute
    Ken, Excellent technique. I've done a few model RR structures that way, too. Your build is looking great.
  20. Canute
    Matt, that barracoe looks ready to pour some rum for our grog! Nice job. Looking forward to seeing what the Nutz crew has been up to lately.
  21. Canute
    I have 4 pin-vises set up with drill bits, but I really like the rack for keeping them all in one place. I am forever mis-placing the pin-vises.
  22. Canute
    Augie, she's a beauty! Outstanding work.
  23. Canute
    Raisin' the bar again, eh? Great looking blades.
  24. Canute
    Great work and I love the colors!
  25. Canute
    It'll look grand, OC. I'll be following along, mate.

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.
