    Your plating is wunderbar. I love the way you enhanced it. David B

    I like using a syringe but I hate it when I forget to leave the needle in water so the glue dries in the needle. How do you clean it out or do you throw away and just use a new one? David B

    I have gone through your log several times and am learning something new every time I do. As for your skin try running a dowel over it in different directions to make the skinning easier. David B

    Job well done on your model Pat and my sympathies as well. The maintenance guy at work was doubled on the floor from kidney stones and we had to call an ambulance for him. Later he said it was the most painful experience he ever had. David B

    I move back to my digs in Chicago and after a couple of months wound up back in the hospital. I am now back at my sisters where She can keep an eye on my health. The doctors are happy and She is too. I finally found my plans for the Maine am now getting started on the repairs. This is where I am starting over. David B

    Take an old cheap paint brush and remove the head with the bristles drill a hole on the end and insert a sewing needle then cut the tip of the eye off and you have an applicator for half the price if you were going to throw the brush away anyway. David B

    Nice job on how to use a lathe. David B

    Gorgeous workmanship Bob. Are you going to paint are you going to paint or leave it alone? Both ways will look fantastic if done with a light hand. David B

    Looking good Nils. But I am wondering at the rivets and if they are too pronounced for the scale you are in. I know you like the way they look but aren't you worried about them detracting from the rest of your workmanship? Just wondering and getting jealous again. Totally in awe of your work. David B

    Your Niagara is looking great and your rigging is coming along fine. As a first time build would you advise getting this kit or another kit? David B
  18. dgbot
    I am going to enjoy watching this build good luck. David B

    Looks even better than the last time you showed it. 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.
