The mortar installation looks wonderful Pawel. Have you stained the well they sit in? -
This should be interesting Mark. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Good luck and stay sane.

Hello Richard. We all started somewhere and skill comes with practice. Good luck with your first model.

A jig for drilling the prop shaft hole is a good idea. The attached is a more complex jig than you need but gives an idea of what to do. Basically it is 2 pieces of MDF drilled with holes to align the drill for the prop shaft tube. Nice little model by the way.

My brother n law came to stay with his superior camera equipment - so lots of photos which blow up quite well for anyone looking for imperfections. I need sort out a finished model post so I may use some of these. Meanwhile my better half seems to have perked up a little and I may bet back to the workshop soon.

Nice work Nils. The crewman on the left seems to be a little confused. Maybe scratching his head will help.

Thank you John / Richard and for your good wishes to my wife. Bedford - she says it is nice to be appreciated by someone. (She must be feeling better as her voice contained a degree of sarchasm). The schooner in the pictures is Germania Nova.

Hakan - no but you are quite close. Elena was on the list but I couldn't find the hull lines anywhere.

Hakan Thank you for your comments. As to the next build I'm not sure yet but I like schooners and I do quite like this:- At 200ft long she would make a substantial model at 1:36 and I don't want to go smaller as I can manage the detail at this scale. Mark / Bedford - thanks for visiting and your contribution to the off set prop debate. For now model making is off the agenda as my wife has broken her arm to get out of domestic duties. Cooking and washing major in the plan for the next 6 weeks.

The fore deck is now looking really nice Pawel, lovely modelling. She was a very strongly built vessel want she. -

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.
