    Welcome aboard! Where are you ex-patting from/to?

    I have found WAK to be one of the fastest and most reliable shippers from Poland, and with the lowest shipping rates.

    I'm glad you're still with us!
  4. ccoyle
    Excellent result, Bruce! The crew and catch add a nice dash of visual interest. Cheers!

    Hey, Halinski still intimidates me, and I have many finished models under my belt! BTW, which version did you get, Flying Tigers or RAF North Africa?
  6. ccoyle
    They look great -- well worth the effort!
  7. ccoyle
    Wow, great job! (I had to delete your tags, though. We don't use tags other than 'done' in this area.)
  8. ccoyle
    Yup, that's fine.
  9. ccoyle
    Nicely done, Dan! She looks the part. Cheers!

    Welcome aboard!

    I'm not sure what they applied, but it's supposed to replace some of the binding agents that are lost from the original pavement due to wear and exposure.

    First step in making the wings was adding the remaining internal frames. Each skin is a single piece, shaped, folded, and glued with the help of a joiner strip. Each wing structure is then slipped into its finished sheath. No fillets have been added yet. That's it for now.

    A bit more progress. I needed to take a slight detour and make the rudder so that I could confirm the positioning of the vertical stabilizer skin. Unlike many kits, the rudder has no internal framing. And then the vertical stabilizer was skinned. And that's it for the moment. Next up will be the wings' internal framing, but first I need to take a break and watch the Champions League final (I'm strictly a neutral for this match).

    Congratulations, Jeff! She's a beauty.

    Good luck on this project! I built the 1/100 scale Agassiz from Modelik many years ago. I also have the HMV kit of USS England on pause; it's another product of Agassiz's designer, Darius Lipinski. He has a few 3D-printed parts available for Agassiz at his Shapeways store. https://www.shapeways.com/product/AWDN9DUAN/agassiz-js-0005-upgrade-for-paper-model?optionId=62825248&li=marketplace

    Sad news indeed.
  17. ccoyle
    Awesome! I love to see some off-the-beaten path working boats being built!
  18. ccoyle
    Very nice! Proves the point that even these 'basic' sort of kits can produce wonderful results.
  19. ccoyle
    Nope. My kit is already boogered, and I have no great desire to take a second crack at one.
  20. ccoyle
    Coincidentally, the streets in my neighborhood got sealed today -- wife says they got the work done before the afternoon showers started. I'll have to see how it looks when I get home.
  21. ccoyle
    Mike, you can start your log at any point in its construction.
  22. ccoyle
    Yup. I like it, obviously -- great for more than just canopies.
  23. ccoyle
    Great job! Congratulations!
  24. ccoyle
    That's a fine finished model. Congratulations!
  25. ccoyle
    Good luck on this beautiful little steamer! The original is still in operation.

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.
