    Hi Mark. I've ordered many books from Seawatch and never got a confirmation email. That said, I've always received my orders so no need to worry.

    I update the indexes about once a week. So, if its a new build log it will be picked up in the next update.

    lot of detail on the cannon...nice

    Thats a good save. You're right though, that area isn't very noticeable and its painted so probably will never be noticed by the casual observer.

    It has been a while since my last update but I haven't been idle. I finished up the netting. I ended up buying the tulle material from Hobby Lobby as recommended and used the LSS practicum method creating the netting. I couldn't think of a better way to do it. It definitely wasn't easy. The plans seem to indicate to run a piece of wire through the netting and the tiny holes in the photo etch pieces. Impossible, I tried. Next, I moved on to the anchors and they are complete also. Pretty straight forward kit parts here. I used black construction paper for the bands. Its a borrowed idea and works great. I messed up a bit drilling the rigging holes through the catheads but it all worked out in the end. Lesson learned. Drill the holes "before" installing them on the model next time. Next up are the channels. I've got the two aft channels in place. In the picture it may appear that the channel is up against the quarter gallery but its not, just perspective. I'm currently working on the remaining 4. That's it until next time.

    The wood is a nice color. Is that cherry?

    The model looks very nice!

    Thats possible. The PDF/A standard should work regardless but you may have to enable the content when the PDF is opened first. Excel was automatically applying the standard even though I didn't select the checkbox to do so. It took me a minute to figure out how to stop it from doing so.
  21. JeffT
    Yes it is
  22. JeffT
    Okay, great.
  23. JeffT
    Looks like you are off to a good start. Enjoy the build!
  24. JeffT
    Try it now Stephen

    I don't believe I'm creating them as PDF/A but I'll check to be sure.

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.
