    Cool Jay. I like the carousel.
  2. JeffT
    Your Conny looks really good Geoff!

    Welcome Eric. I bought the same kit several years ago and there was a few parts missing from mine also. CC will send your missing parts along pronto.

    I think there are a variety of things that may affect difficulty rating such as the number of masts, level of detail, how many parts will need to be scratch built, etc.. Its hard to say what would determine the difficulty level of the two kits without knowing more about them. Here is cornwalls description of each level. http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/difficulty.html

    Welcome to MSW! Thanks for sharing your progress with us. Your cross section looks well done. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your build.

    +1 Confederacy.

    Nice work Albert. Are you using a scroll saw or cutting parts out by hand?
  8. JeffT
    Thanks JS! John - JS is correct. Just send him an email and he will send you the price list and order form. You will have to mail the order to him if I remember correctly.

    Me too!

    Looking good! You have some innovative ways of doing things. I'll get back to work on mine one of these days.

    Thank you Marc!

    I have a heard fo a product called Metal Rescue Rust Remover but have never tried it so can't vouch for its success. http://www.amazon.com/Workshop-Hero-WH290487-Rescue-Remover/dp/B005JVNQPQ

    I have this kit sitting on the shelf. Looking forward to seeing your build progress.

    Looks good Sam. Thanks for posting.

    Nice work! The copper looks great!
  16. JeffT
    Very sorry to hear this. All my best to your family.

    I can't speak for the Mamoli kit but I'm building the MS version and its a good kit. Just keep in mind that there are quite a few parts that will need to be made from scratch.
  18. JeffT
    Your planking looks great! You are definitely getting the hang of this.
  19. JeffT
    Your boats are turning out really well. You could almost do a separate log for the boats. They are a lot of work!
  20. JeffT
    Thanks Mathew! I think the brass looks good and gives nice contrast. It makes those little details easier to see with the naked eye.
  21. JeffT
    I suspect I'll mess up every part at least once, so I'm going too need a large supply of wood. Seriously though, the Conny has been a learning experience, so I know I can do it. I will have to learn some new skills though.
  22. JeffT
    Thanks Rusty. I guess the only way to learn is to do.
  23. JeffT
    On my way over Mark. I hear the instructions for scratch building are way better.
  24. JeffT
    Exactly what I'm thinking. Its time to go down that road.
  25. JeffT
    Thanks Geoff. I guess I'm just getting weary of buying things above and beyond whats in the kit. I'm going to do my best to make use of whats there.

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.
