G'day Danny I've got another question, I'm not calling it dumb this time. Lol. The pump tubes has the chain going through it. Did you open the end of the tube only to show us the chain, or is it the way it should be? Again great craftsmanship in every details. Havagoodone and a "colddy" for me. Greg

G'day Dave I didn't explain my question in the correct manor. Before you place the dragons in the oven, did you remove it from the glass or waited till it dried a bit then placed them in the oven, or what did you do? I think trying to remove the dry, unovened piece it would brake up. On the other hand the ovened piece would stick to the glass and would brake up when removed. Hope tht you understand my question now. Thanks for the temperature info on your previous post. Greg

G'day Dave Great work on the two dragons. Amazing detail! Question: do you do the work on glass and let it harden before you place it in the oven or what do you do? Havagooday mate Greg

G'day Nils Thank you a thousand time wouldn't be enough for the enjoyment that I've had over the past few weeks, looking and absorbing you fantastic build. You not only showed me that you are a truly a master model craftsman but a ingenious and imaginative person who would put any non-related objects and turned them into an amazing fixture that anyone should be proud of. I take my hat off to you! I have read many people saying that this model is amazzzzzzzzing and using other words to the same point, as Patrick has mentioned in one of comment that there are not enough superlative to describe your work. I agree with him one hundred percent! So all i can say is: Ihre Arbeit aus diesem Wort ist und das Modell , oder sollte ich sagen , ist Kunststück eines seiner Art , und ich bin privilegiert, Zeuge zu sein und ich warte mit offenem Mund für mehrere Einträge. So if my translation is incorrect here is what I wanted to say in english! Your work is out of this word and this model, or should I say, art piece is one of it's kind and I'm privileged to be a witness and I'm waiting with my mouth open for more entries. Havegooday mate Greg

I agree with them, but it's up to your usual extremely high standard that a master shipwright could achieve. Way beyond me or many others, if I may be so bold. Havagooday mate Greg

G'day Mark the widows are so good. Was there any warping sideway and up and down, or just twisting? The small size of the timber would almost be impossible to be done without your death star. Havagoodone mate Greg

G'day Denis Wow, amazing work that you have done. The shingles, doors, door nobs etc looks superb. Sorry that I was missing in action for a week or so, but what I've seen, does you proud. What's your thoughts about the roof? Aren't you going to keep the pitch roof? It's a pity after all the brilliant work on it, and not to keep it, but it's up to you. I always trust your ideas. Keep them coming Havagooday Greg

G'day Mark Just started to read your log. Excellent comes to my mind. Love your balustrades and windows. Its a great pity they both will be only partially viable. Havagooday mate Greg

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.
