    There is also a usefull excell in the ‘Articles database’ of this forum. (scroll down to the ‘rigging’ part of the list, although there is interesting stuff in the other sections). the exact thickness is one part , but what also matters is ‘relative thickness’: I tooksome of my rigging slightly over scale, as the thinnest lines available to me were slighltly over scale. Taking the lines next to them to scale resulted in too little difference in thickness. And there isno need to have 15 or so thicknesses: four or five will also give a better result than the two-will-suffice from your kit. And as said: pay attention to the size of the blocks: in real life the size of the hole is equal to the thickness of the ropes, leading to smaller blocks for thinner ropes. Here also: ypu can go flat out with very beatiful and very exensive ones, but three or four sizes can bring you a whole lot further than the kit-provided ones. Jan

    Hi James, I tried to replicate the error, but everything seems to be working correctly. I’ll come back to you when the error pops up again. Jan

    Is it just me, or…? When using the search, I get an access denied from the firewall. Never had that before (but having recently up (or down?) graded to Ios26, I seem to have more issues…) Jan

    Quick scan on wiki: theMk1 truck allowed for a 10 degree left-right traverse and a 28 degree elevation. Therefore: limited range and limited possibilities for proper aiming…. (And my guess is that the railway didn.t take the recoil very well, especially when the gun wasnt parallel to the track) Jan

    Fantastic work! What is the gridsize of your cutting mat? It looks like tiny parts, but perhaos it’s even smaller than I think…. and will you build it canopy open or clised (read: how much of all these cockpitiinstruments will be visible in the finished product? Jan

    Good luck! I will follow this one with interest. Jan

    Sometimes I think that Halinski should have the option to build the model with a ‘basic’ inside, so that you could display the cockpit-art next to finished model. It’s a shame to hide this under a plastic canopy …. Jan

    Even a base coat already brings them to life. That will be a nice crew! Jan

    Nice. Flew one over my place yesterday (Spitfire, no clue about the type) Nice plane with even nicer sound! (something completely different: you once started a model of a great lakes self-unloader. Did you ever finish that one?) Jan

    Congratulations! Jan

    Impressive knight. And now for the damsel in distress? The dragon, or do you have another of those heavily armed boys? I think you should gicve the shield a matte overpaint, it is abit too glaring compared to the armour. Shields were made of wood and leather, nothing shiny. Jan

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.
