    Welcome aboard!

    It's very satisfying to watch them disappear.
  3. ccoyle
    Very nice! Since this is really a build log, albeit in video format, I have moved it to the proper area. Cheers!

    Welcome, Ross!
  5. ccoyle
    Looking very neat!

    K-guns completed.
  7. ccoyle
    Which looks great so far!

    Welcome! I'm still trying to figure out whether "martimous" is an unfamiliar adjective or a derivation of "Marty Mouse." 🤔
  9. ccoyle
    I prefer a moscato.

    Take care, Bob! Hope your surgery and recovery go off without a hitch!

    Finally got around to finishing the rest of the K-gun racks. Whew, what a slog! And as long as one doesn't look too closely, you can't tell how kind of misshapen they are -- laser-cut card details don't fold very neatly. 😬

    Welcome aboard, Bruce!

    I have all of those kits -- sort of. I have the D-9 in the 2019 'Papagei Squadron' recolor.

    Yes, Neil is a paper wizard.

    I haven't printed any models in quite some time, but I recall having acceptable results with whatever ink jet printer I had at the time. I also recall that while using the highest DPI setting gave marginally better print quality, it also used considerably more ink.

    Don't get too carried away -- my knowledge of Irish is extremely limited! 😉

    You can only implement the suggested solution if you, personally, have no vices.

    Great picture! I love seeing what some of our members look like in the flesh.

    "Darth Coyle" strikes again. Or maybe that should say, "Come to the card side"? 🤔
  20. ccoyle
    Hoping for a good outcome for you!
  21. ccoyle
    Well done!
  22. ccoyle
    Kind of interesting that she was launched on Trafalgar Day, even if the first Trafalgar Day hadn't yet occurred!

    Step 24 One of the Step 24 elements is the racks that are part of each K-gun station. The kit includes an option for building simplified racks that have printed depth charges, or one can choose to cut out the printed charges out and swap them for three-dimensional ones. The detail set includes laser-cut parts to replace some of the printed parts. I went with the most detailed option. It can be done, but it's a tedious process. Bending and gluing the rack parts together is kind of like trying to assemble a 1:1 scale spider, and of course each of the four depth charges needing to be built is a rolled cylinder with two end pieces. A finished rack includes 16 parts, and there will eventually be 8 racks (plus the stern racks, which will be even more complex). So far I have completed a grand total of - - one.

    Been there, done that -- not fun!

    As will having the kit's designer as an active member here.

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.
