    Wonderful Doris, just wonderful! I so enjoy reading your updates - you've made my day.

    That all looks fine to me Craig. Don't worry if you need to use a little filler - that has helped many a modeller in the past! Just take your time, as you are, and ensure you keep enjoying yourself.

    Nice to see an update there Sjors - that's some mighty fine looking work.

    Wow Sherry, that really is looking lovely. Good job!

    Nice start there oldpaperone (name???). Your keel clamp setup looks good. Are those cam cleats along the edge? Neat!

    Simply beautiful work Gaetan - a joy to behold.

    Nice work so far Craig. Steady as she goes!

    Gil, I can't believe you just did that!!! (says he who pulled his whole stern off ) That must have been a right bi#%£ of a job, but the difference is simply WOW! My hat is off to you Sir (again). And no, we never get bored with your log Gil.

    Alright then! Now that Mark has finally arrived with the popcorn and drinks, I'll take a seat and follow this one too. Looks to be an interesting build Vivian. I like your ideas for improving her. I did wonder if the new windows were a little too large, but hey, you're the Captain, it's your choice!
  10. gjdale
    Yup, wot he said!!!

    Alex, I remember following your beautiful build before the "great MSW crash", but it has taken me a year to find her again. What a beauty she is too! I just love the way you explain your methods - so many wonderful ideas, tips and tricks. I'm in for the long haul now - can't wait to see further updates.

    That's some very clever modifications there Nigel. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

    Thanks in advance Joe. I know that your tutorial will be a most welcome addition to the knowledge base.
  14. gjdale
    I'd certainly be interested Joe. This is one area I have yet to explore.

    Darn it Remco, now I have to clean a large pile of drool off my iPad!
  16. gjdale
    And we're off! Nice to see you started Craig.

    Very nice indeed Bob.

    Your metal work is both cleverly thought out and expertly executed Danny.
  19. gjdale
    That new mesh looks great Andy.

    Thanks for that link QA - most helpful - and also for your thoughts and the ratios of various components. That all helps to make sense of it all.

    Rob, My guess (and it is only a guess), would be that sellers provide overall dimensions - in this case, length and width.

    I have only the flimsiest grasp of how the metric vs "non=metric" notation systems work for taps and dies. I get that the notation measures slightly different things, but.......... A search of the internet brings up all sorts of interesting information, but none that I've been able to find so far seem to give a very basic "equivalence" if you wish. For example, say you wish to find out what the closest metric size might be for a given "non-metric" size (e.g. 4-40, or 2-56 etc). Does anyone know of such a simple comparison chart? It sounds too easy, but clearly it isn't.........
  23. gjdale
    Very nice Rob. Love your "jig" for working off the model.
  24. gjdale
    All progress is good progress Sean.

    If it really is copper you are wanting to blacken, then use Liver of Sulfur (LOS). Not exactly a household product but easily obtainable online. http://www.polymerclay.com.au/xlgel1liverofsulphurextendedlifegel1oz-p-13276.html LOS has the advantage of being able to be used 'in situ' on the model without affecting the surrounding wood - just wash off the timber. EdT uses this almost exclusively on his Naiad model.

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.
