    Your Niagara looks good. I like your technique with the airbrush. If you use ME paints what are you thinning them with and what is your ratio. I have always had trouble. David B

    Call me old fashion but I always liked funstion with beauty. Yachts like the Endeavor were the epitome of their type. The modern racing vessels with there lines and high tech materil may blow the J class yacht out of the water. But the J Class has lines grace and style. I would lone to be aboard one of them today let alone own one. Does anyone have an unending bank account? David B

    Keep up the good work. Something I have done when I am bending I wou;d just multple planks is to make a fixture and after soaking put the planks in it. The next day they would be ready to go. David B

    My advice would be to go throught some of the logs. Everyone has there own method that works for them. It depends on the wood and the dimensions. Dependinf the the shape I have soaked a plank and put in in a form to dry. Wet and take an iron to it. I have even use a mirowave. .All you have to remeber is it is easier to bend with the grain and not against it. David B

    The funnels were pretty straight forward. The problem I had was not with them. When I tried to glue them to the gundeck I realized I had used a thinner stock and the deck was a little warped. After cutting out a new deck and making sure of the fit I glued the funnels to the new deck and then glued that over the orignal one. David B

    I was finally able to assemble the bridge wings. This proved to be simple, yet the wrong move could mean a do over. The first thing I did was locate the parts and cut them out. This time I cut out one side first and on completeion did the other side. This will prevent clutter as well as not getting anything mixed. Since each wingg consisted of two pieces gleud back to back I took care that all the fold were correct before the final glue up. This also meant dry fitting them together and to the bridge, Considering the condition ,y eyes were in this was not fun. but tediou. However the end result was worth the extra care. After making sure of the fit I glued them on and am happy with the result.. The funne;s will be next. David B

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.
