bigtree1993, Have you read the log from the beginning like when he first started it on MSW1. You might think different about trying to buy one if you can, not too sure you can buy one of the same kits anymore unless someone wants to sell there's. There is another company that has them just can't remember who it is. Someone here will know. But Remco has put a heck of a lot of work into this, had to make things that didn't work or fit. He will tell you.

I would like to have just the see-true Gun kit. Do they sell that by itself? Or does anyone want to see me it?

I have nothing but high Comments for Sherline. I have spoken with Fred on the phone for almost an hour, and he talk me out of spending money stupid, he solve the problem I was having and at the same time told me a few trick that work for me. Kat is usually the person who answer the phone when you call, she knows what is what for the Sherline and can answer all your question about any add-on. I will always have nothing but good things to say about Sherline. Glad you are happy with your Lathe and Mill. You have made the right choice to go with Sherline.

Jerry, I agree with what you have said. A person does all the beautiful detail and shows it to us on the forum and then covers it all up. Yes some people are happy with knowing that they have done it and it is there, but no ones else know since they can not see it, big deal you have the pictures of it. I remember building the Constitution right before I went in the Air Force when I got out of high school, all the cannons on the lower deck got hidden after all the work of rigging them, now that to me was a waste of time, Thank God my father did all the rigging while I was in booth camp. When I came home on leave it was done, but he told me he will never do another model for me, the way he look at it was you started it now you finished it. I started making planes for awhile and the went back to ships, back then everything was plastic and there was no internet to know about the wood. But I still did everything with only knowing that there was hidden detail that no one could see. It all comes down to the person building the ship/model, you and me can say this and say that but we are not the one that's building it. But to me what a waste of time. When you get up in age you know there is only so much time left and so many ships to build.

amateur, Glad your happy with your new teeth. Can't stand mine, had them all taken out and bone remove so that I could get the new ones. I am so use to not having them that I can't stand to wear them. But without them you have to slow down when you talk or the words don't sound right. And so far I am out a little over $6000.00. Oh well life goes on. And believe me even without them in I can still destroy a big steak without thinking about it LOL.

Excellent work. The time it takes to do what you have done pays off big time. Keep the pictures coming. -
Thanks for the tip about using "rosin". I remember that stuff from school when I was a little kid, my Mother had me taking Violin lessons. You know what happen there LOL. Thank you.

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.
