    Stellar work, Greg.

    I don't know, Neal, but whatever you're doing with your settings, it sure is precise-looking to me. Curious to know what nozzle size you're using now and what size you've set for lines. Are you using 1.75 filament?

    And I have a 21 year old daughter who is still the pickiest eater I've ever seen. Guess she's still my kid.

    You have something to learn, Mr Cog.

    Nightshade is particularly poisonous and deadly to cattle. When I was young, my father would walk our pasture to point out the nightshade to me. He then explained it would kill our cattle as they would readily eat it. He would quickly remove it once he saw it.

    Yes, it is where I come from.

    In the USA capsicum is called "bell pepper". I had to google capsicum to learn what it was. Never heard it called that before now.

    That's some beautiful and inspirational 3D print work, Neal.

    If you ever dropped one of those torpedo door covers on the floor...fugettaboutit. It would be history. Great job so far, Popeye.
  10. CDW
    Nice start, Popeye. Good grief, those parts are so tiny. Your guests will need super-vision to see your finished work when they visit your home.

    Greg, you just keep getting better, more better, and more better good with your airbrushed hulls. You've really developed the talent and paint combinations for weathering, shading, and highlighting.

    I've got to try their gloss when I get a chance. My LHS doesn't carry it and I haven't thought to order some.
  13. CDW
    It has much to do with airbrush fouling and paint spattering. Vallejo is not user friendly.

    Inspirational work, Piet. Just beautiful.

    Sorry...I thought I was on the last page, but now realize the pictures I was looking at when making that comment happened much earlier in your thread. The comments were out of context with the current situation. My compliment still stands...beautiful model!

    Now that you've mentioned it, my wife has learned of many of her ancestors who lost their heads to "the iron lady". One she was showing me just in the past couple of days was 60 years old when they lost their head.

    Does that paint defect correspond to an area where a spot filler putty was used underneath? It's a beautiful model. Hope you get this all sorted out.

    It's large when you're standing on shore looking at it, but very small in the middle of the ocean with 40' seas.

    This is my Dad making home made strawberry ice cream in the 1960's...

    If there was a law against doing outstanding craftsmanship, Danny would be hung from the yard arms.

    Particularly at this small scale, I want to say how impressed I am with both of your models. They are outstanding in every way. Great job fellas!
  22. CDW
    Are you freakin' kidding me? He's building a scale RC model battleship, mate. Why the heck would he model the ship with a gaping hole in the hull? Sheesh.

    One nice thing about building the printer from a kit: it familiarizes the novice with the parts associated with each of the common terms used when users discuss 3D printers. Until now, I had no idea really. Almost done with assembly now.
  24. CDW
    Lol - That's exactly what my friend told me...to experiment with the settings. I have seen some guys use a piece of glass on the print bed. Thoughts on that?
  25. CDW
    Bought a cheap one...but one my electronic engineer friend recommended. It's a Prusa i3 Started putting it together to night. Will probably be able to test it by Thursday. I like it because I will learn from this one and it's easily upgradeable. I feel there's no point in my spending too much for a printer when I have no idea yet how to use it. Will learn and upgrade as I go. Your steam ship looks great! Would love to try that.

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.
