    The beeswax would work very well for the brass over the window openings. fancy beeswax candles are a good source. Michael

    Try the beeswax for picking up small parts. Sails look good, they are tricky to get looking right. Michael

    One very simple way to hold small parts is to warm a little beeswax and squash in onto the end of a toothpick then shape the wax to look like a fine spear point. I used to help my mum put rhinestones in costume jewelry, for pocket money when I was a kid the beeswax sticks were the only easy way to pick up the stones and place them into the lacquer glue that was brushed over the piece before the stone were placed. It works equally well for all sorts of small parts wood metal or plastic. Michael

    Watching you do these boats is giving me a complex, that I am just a slow poke The details are definitely worth doing, looking very sharp sir. Michael

    Pete in your last photos and this one there appears to be an addition this is what I was describing. Michael

    Upside down and a fine jet from an airbrush or fine nozzle on an airline with the pressure just above atmospheric, should do the trick. Michael

    Chris I am sure that given your great skill you will be able to find a way to drill the keel and add bolts to enable you to mount her on the brass pedestals. Michael

    Couldn't agree more. Model is looking good Nenad, I prefer the toned down colour to a shiny copper bottom. Michael

    Hi Bob, how is the work proceeding on the sails? the templates look good, have you been sucked into the whole CAD thing? Michael

    Alex this is an outstanding example of the sort of care and nurturing that we are capable of. I am sure that your carer Antony will also learn a great deal from you as you work together on this wonderful project. I have no doubt that you will continue on as you gain skills and become an accomplished shipbuilder. I will enjoy following your progress. regards Michael

    I think that it is the very subtle wave that is bothering Remco, but I could be wrong of course. Michael

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.
