G'day Patrick Re the photos: you can always use a tripod to hold the camera and use a large f stop and a long exposure. That way you will get a deeper depth of field, or you can bugger it, it too much work. Lol. Havagooday mate Greg

G'day Alexandru My mind is numb looking that that Incrediblywow way you done that wheel. As Mark said it's the most ingenious way ever to build it. Your talent is beyond words! Your lathe work is amazzzzzzzzing. How many rejects did you go through to get all of them done? Your patience is unbelievable! Greg

G'day Patrick. Congratulations on a wonderful and different job. Scrathing your head head and using the grey matter does work. What are you going to do on the side of the transom next to the door? Also will you be making the two Runabouts and their details as well? Interesting! Well mate as I and many others has said before, this is where the fun starts! Keep up to your usual standards and this will be outstanding! The only problem that I can say about your scales models are: they are too bloody small to get a good depth of field when you take the photos! Havagooday mate Greg

G'day Dimitris. Don't like to "put the spanner in the works" as the saying goes in Australia. But what is the correct height of the top mask? Does the 60mm or so has to spread over all the 3 sections of the mask. I had the same problem when I was working out the heights of each section on my Endeavour? I eventually blew up the drawings on AOTS The Endeavour to get what I wanted. Maybe you can get a profile photo AV and do the same. Just an idea! Hope that you don't mind me putting my 2 cents in. Havagooday mate Greg

G'day Mark I've been suffering from lower back pain for the past 18 years and it's no good. I know what she's going through. PLEASE don't give into spinal fusion. All the people that I've known has regretted it. Use hot and cold pack, massage with deep heat and bed rest. The pain clinic was no good for me, I was expelled because my muscles were and still in, a constant state of movement and they couldn't get the needle in the right spot. As Jesse said, harder drugs are there to use under control by your doctor. They are very good if used wisely, and I was told at the pain clinic when I was there, you can't get hooked on the drugs if you need them. I'm a living example of that. Keep up her spirits is the best thing you can do! Cheers Greg

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.
