Gotta say it -- "form follows function", but darned if I can figure out the function of that rig! 🤔 But regardless, your model is looking great!

Hey, I forgot to add a shot of the name plate, also added back in December. Swivel guns should (hopefully) be on the way soon, after which I will post a set of final photos. Cheers!

Niels, a couple of issues: 1. It's not necessary to create a separate post for each photo. You may add multiple photos to a single post. 2. Your photos are not displaying. We don't recommend using third-party image hosting sites. We regularly have problems with such sites when they go out of business or members don't renew their subscriptions. We strongly advise members to upload their photos to the site first and then add them to their posts.

Nice to see the 'fragile' label stuck right on the ginormous crease. Hopefully everything inside was packed correctly.

The Shipyard designs, with their multiple skinning layers, are intended to eliminate the typical "starving cow" look sometimes seen in card model hulls.

Welcome aboard! Look here to kick-start your Thermopylae research -
Welcome to MSW! The answer to your question depends in part on what medium you wish to work in. Liners in wood are relatively uncommon, except for the ubiquitous Titanic kits. Plastic is another story, but I'm not familiar with what's available. If you are interested in card models, liners are popular subjects in that medium. I can steer you toward some entry-level card kits if you'd like. Cheers!

Nope. 34e is the base for the cylinder heads and is narrower in diameter than the missing part, as indicated by the lighter circle inside the dark ring on the missing piece. Obviously, the head assembly has to sit on something, but the something isn't anywhere to be found in the kit. This is a first for me.

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.
