    Thanks for all the likes and nice comments. Two more frame pairs were added aft and now I have switched back to the forward framing. Ben

    Superb Rusty, Try Gregs advice with the white glue trick, I have used it on Pegasus and it will hide some small gaps nicely. Ben

    Hi Al, Nice to see you have found your way to MSW. As Gunther says, and he's building AVS at the moment, please start a build log so we can all enjoy you progress. I look forward to seeing more. Ben MODS - this proberbly needs moving to the welcome section.

    Looking great Maurey, I like your use of the templates - makes for more accurate work. Ben

    She's a beauty and that's for sure !! Ben

    Thanks all! Mark - the fridge is too heavy to move due to it being the beer storage unit!

    Got to agree, very nice tuck. Ben

    Very Very nice Rusty, looks like you will manage without drops or steelers, that's a feat in of itself! Ben

    Thanks for all the likes and generous comments. Slow going at my dockyard but another four frame pairs have been installed along with another gunport and then rough internal fairing, then the admiral decreed that the workshop needed cleaning. Ben

    Same As Druxey, but I use a Worksharp3000 sharpener rig and get great results on my chisels, the scary sharp type Ben
  21. Trussben
    Looks very nice. Ben
  22. Trussben
    Nice to see you back at it Alan, don't worry about having to remake a frame or two, that's par for the course. Ben

    Greg - everybody on MSW knows it's there! Lol. Beautiful Remco. Ben

    No 20 coats on the cannons Augie!! I pickled them in vinegar! If you use CA for the trunnions DO NOT pickle in Acetone, it is a CA debonder, as I found out. As for paint, I used tamyia primer in the spray can which gave a great even and light coat without hiding details, then as recommended by some scratch builders I tried the black automotive flat black from Testors and was very happy how they came out.

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.
