Polaris by Paula - OcCre - 1:50
ccoyle replied to Paula's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1801 - 1850
I may have gotten myself into hot water in the past for sneaking off to build models when guests were around -- I'm not admitting to anything. 😬 -
Beautiful result, Bryan!

Nice kit! I vote for doing the torpedo loading version -- it would make an awesome diorama.- 6 replies

Welcome to the forum, Ralph!

Good to be aboard. Greetings from Alberta, Canada.
ccoyle replied to Al Litchfield's topic in New member Introductions
Welcome aboard, Al! As Vitus mentioned, your model is a four-masted barkentine (sometimes spelled barquentine), a ship that is square-rigged on its foremast and fore-and-aft rigged on the remaining masts. It is quite likely a scratch-built model, perhaps built by a former crew member or someone who was familiar with her (would be nice to know, wouldn't it?), which means it's a one-of-a-kind model and definitely worthy of restoration. Some of our members are knowledgeable about this kind of work and will be able to give you some guidance. Cheers! -
I have two headband magnifiers. One is the type that has the lens mounted in a hood, the other does not. The one without the hood makes me sick after awhile, probably because it allows for a large, unmagnified peripheral field of vision while using it. The magnifier with the hood is the cheap kind from Harbor Freight -- I can use that one for hours without any problems.

I love the Thayer, even though I've never been fortunate enough to visit her in person. I grew up in Humboldt County and spent part of my adulthood working in the woods of Humboldt and Mendocino Counties, tromping around in the redwoods once owned by the Falk Brothers, PALCO, Carson & Dolbeer, USAL, and other companies that shipped lumber aboard Bendixsen-built schooners. I would dearly love to see a kit of her developed -- would probably even pry the padlock off my wallet for one! You know there have to be detailed lines and drawings made during her reconstruction -- a trove of resources for any potential designer. It's just a pity that all of Bendixsen's half-hull models were lost in the mists of time when the yard closed.

Congratulations on finishing your model! Two tips for photos: 1. Use a hard return between images to give them some visual separation. 2. As you've learned, there isn't a limit on the number of photos, but bear in mind that that photo-heavy posts will load slowly on older computers, so some members will be inclined to skip such posts. Cheers!

kit review 1:70 Hannah - Ship Model Okumoto
ccoyle replied to James H's topic in REVIEWS: Model kits
I get the feeling it's a mom and pop operation, except there's no mom, so the production run for each kit is pretty small -- probably most go to Japanese customers, since he doesn't perceive a need to cater to English-speaking customers. -
How do I follow a thread or a build?

I'm an Android user, and it's there for me. I can't speak to any iPhone issues.

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.
