Good evening from New Jersey USA!
ccoyle replied to Funkingonuts's topic in New member Introductions
They're not hard to find if you Google "Russian brig Mercury." Her captain's actions lend credence to the adage about fortune favoring the bold. -
Good evening from New Jersey USA!
ccoyle replied to Funkingonuts's topic in New member Introductions
Welcome! Mercury is a great kit, if not often the subject of build logs. -
Looking for Aeropiccola Serapis instructions
ccoyle replied to pinel's topic in Wood ship model kits
Given the age of that kit and its Italian origins, I doubt that it came with very extensive instructions. -
It's only been a month -- you're gonna have to stay away for much, much longer if you want to join the ranks of the truly great procrastinators in our hobby! 😉

Niagara by Alex-Ks1 - 1:7 Scale
ccoyle replied to Alex-Ks1's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1801 - 1850
Just add updates as replies. -
I took the liberty of changing your build log title to Pegasus based on the assumption that you will build this Swan-class vessel as the subject depicted by the kit -- unless, of course, you plan to actually build the model as Swan, in which case you will need to make some cosmetic changes. Let me know if I need to fix anything!

Hi, Rick! Yep, that's me, and we have a few other dual members as well. We're doing what we can to make card models respectable around here!

MSW follows the copyright/fair use laws of the United States. Fair use allows short snippets of copyrighted works to be used for discussion or critique; a rule-of-thumb (not a legal standard) is about 5% of a work. The exact percentage allowable is made on a case-by-case basis only when an infringement is challenged in court. Most excerpts posted at MSW fall well within the amount allowable under fair use. Works whose copyright has expired and which are now considered to be in the public domain carry no such restrictions. In the US, copyright protections are automatic for the life of the author plus 70 years.

Welcome! We look forward to seeing it!

Sharing the files for discussion is fine. The question becomes a bit trickier should it ever seem that you are actually distributing the files -- that would bring up the question of whether your work is sufficiently derivative to not be considered a copyright violation (a determination that ultimately can only be decided by a court). One way to avoid that might be to make the files read-only.

Artesania Latina 1/50 Jolie Brise cutter kit
ccoyle replied to Mike Esposito's topic in Wood ship model kits
Only AL can answer that question. But, good news -- there are plenty of other cutter-type kits available out there. Keep looking until you find an in-stock example that grabs your interest. -
I don't treenail, either, at the scales I work in. It's not because I don't like the look, which is fine when people do a good job of it. It's just that real-life treenailing is very subtle in appearance, and at scale viewing distances treenails are pretty much invisible. It's the same reason I don't do any sewing on my sails -- scale needlework is impossible to do.

Deleting duplicate topic
ccoyle replied to BETAQDAVE's topic in How to use the MSW forum - **NO MODELING CONTENT**
I took care of it. I'll send the bill. 😉 -
Welcome aboard!

We have had dogs for years (I'm allergic to cats). We raised nine guide dog puppies. Most of our own have been mixed breeds of one sort or another, but our Old Man at the moment is a 15-year-old Cavalier. He is very dominant (I call him the 'anti-Cavalier') and is not completely thrilled about the new addition 😅. Our youngest daughter has a super-sweet-tempered Cavalier as well.

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.
