    I have been informed by a highly reputable source, that powder is better suited for metal castings so I will avoid that. It was suggested that I use a combination of Vaseline and Isopropyl alcohol as a release agent. I am going to try this in the next couple of weeks and will report back with my results.

    This is a family friendly forum, please refrain from using the "B" word!

    I feel the same way on Doris' log, I never know what to say that can properly express the precision and beauty that I see! Another extraordinary model!

    "turks heads on the tiller" If you do decide to take up the gauntlet, I know it will be beautiful, just like the rest of your build!

    The planking is great Sjors! I'm sure you'll figure the rest out quite well!

    Those masts and crow's nests are looking great! They just totally change the look of the ship.....for the good!

    I, like everyone else, am at a loss for words, but I still want to say ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.........again!!!

    You seem to be right on track now! She's already looking like a ship in that last picture! Great start!

    I just found your new log today! Glad to see things up and running again. I'm sorry to hear about your Mom.....this is a tough stage of life. I lost my Mom to cancer 3 years ago and, no, we are never ready to lose them. Enjoy every moment that you can with her. My thoughts and prayers will be with you both.

    That snaking looks amazing! The work on the bowsprit and rigging is terrific too!
  11. newbuilder101
    Very nice! She's already on her way to becoming a beauty!
  12. newbuilder101
    Looks great Sjors! Now for the fun part on the lower hull!
  13. newbuilder101
    Wonderful railings and cleats! What wood did you use for the cleats?
  14. newbuilder101
    Beautiful clean work - and such symmetry! That's a lot of tree-nailing coming up!

    Thank-you Walt! I am planning to mast and fully rig with sails. Some will probably be clewed. That's in the distant future though - much work to be done before that. Thank-you Frank! We are not really taking over. We just finally discovered all the fun you "guys" have been having with this hobby! Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you Robbyn! I like a comment Doris made in her log, that she will try to continue to build her model as well as she can to live up to all the praise! Thank-you Michael! I am truly inspired to keep building to as high a standard as possible. My inspiration? The generous comments I receive and all the outstanding models I view here on MSW like yours!

    If I had a model like that in my home I would never get any work done! I would be too busy admiring it all day! Beautiful Doris!
  17. newbuilder101
    Thank-you Druxey and glad you found my log!
  18. newbuilder101
    Wow! She really is big! Looking great Andy! Looking at the phrase in your signature, I'm now expecting to see some duct tape somewhere on the build. (Maybe a plaid flannel shirt and some suspenders are in order too?)
  19. newbuilder101
    Very, very nice....as your work always is!
  20. newbuilder101
    Absolutely beautiful! Love your finish choice - just enough contrast to enhance and not detract!
  21. newbuilder101
    WOW! Again!
  22. newbuilder101
    Never too late - I'm collecting them now! (enjoying the collection too) Thank-you very much!
  23. newbuilder101
    Thank-you very much Bob and Elia! I am really having fun at this stage of the build.
  24. newbuilder101
    Crackers and Edwin: Thank-you! I am very flattered by your comments! In all fairness, I think that there are many modelers here who are above my knowledge and skill level. I would love to be able to wear the hat marked "Master", but I tried it on and it doesn't fit yet. I sneaked in and tried the hats for Danny, Doris, Remco, EdT (to name just a few of the many) and they were so large I disappeared! Have to confess though, loved the hats. Slors: A Lego ship....hmmmm.....that might be fun! Seriously though, your ships are wonderful and you are NOT a novice! Doris and I sisters? If we were, I would be the older one and therefore should be better and more experienced, but that's not the case - it's a long road to catch up to her skill!!!

    Grant: Thank-you! Augie: I'm still practicing. Popeye: Thank-you too! David: Welcome, and thank-you very much!

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.
