    Love it Daniel. It really does give a clear insight into just how crowded things must have been during action.

    Great pics John. Your new skylight looks terrific, as does the rest of the ship. Boy, you're really steaming ahead now!

    Hey Sjors, That's some mighty fine work there my friend. It seems that you have leaped ahead suddenly - did you steal Mobbsie's mojo to make such rapid progress?

    Beautiful to watch Ed. I particularly like the way you have incorporated the sweeping lines into the bolt pattern.

    Knowing your attention to detail and "getting things right" Danny, I suspect we'll be seeing a re-do on those. No criticism implied Danny, but I agree that these don't seem to match your own expectations. I suspect that some Swiss Pear will give you more the result that you're looking for.

    Welcome home Andy. This looks like an interesting "side project". I'll follow along with interest.

    Looking good David. Nothing wrong with completing the bowsprit rigging first. That is certainly what I did. Just watch those elbows and long sleeves from here on!

    Rob, You can also purchase Yellowheart through Jeff Hayes at Hobbymill (link on home page) and he can mill it to your exact dimensional requirements. Very reasonable prices, top quality material, and customer service second to none. No connection other than a very satisfied customer!

    Hi Eric, Congratulations on reaching this point - it is a major milestone! Patrick is right though, the more attention you pay now to filling and sanding, the easier it will be with the second planking.
  10. gjdale
    Have to agree with the others Bob - great job on the planking! Looking forward to the next steps - let's hope you're right about being past the kit problems.

    Thanks for the pics John, looks like she will make up into a very nice model indeed.
  12. gjdale
    Sounds like an interesting project John. How about starting with a few photos of the kit box and contents? I look forward to following your progress with this one.

    You never cease to amaze me with your detail work Remco! Beautifully done Sir!

    Joachim, These spars are simply called "boat booms". On arrival at the anchorage, the order would be given, "Out boats, booms, and ladders", meaning the boat booms and ladders would be rigged and the boats launched. Lovely work, by the way.

    Yes, very sweet joinery work there Rusty.

    Augie, Very sorry to hear of the mishap, but even more sorry that we won't get the whole photo-essay on how to recover from a major mishap. As others have said, that would have been both beneficial and heartening for the less experienced. I look forward to seeing the completed repair job anyway.

    Fantastic Robert! Those gun carriages look just superb. I've experimented with copper and LOS as well and found as you did, that it's much easier to work with than brass and selenium solutions. We all have EdT to thank for that I think.

    Nice to see an update again Sjors. For a "training" ship, she is looking pretty good to me!
  19. gjdale
    Great to see you started Bill, and lucky that there are only front row seats here. I look forward to enjoying the ride with you.
  20. gjdale
    Thank you Anja for your efforts in this, and thank you Sjors for both agreeing for this to be done and for staying the course through this difficult time. I look forward to the resumption of your log, and the continuation of my friendship with you both.
  21. gjdale
    Augie, I am so glad to read that you are not leaving us. You are clearly a man of considerable honour and character and I respect you all the more for your post above. i look forward to the resumption of your log and the continuation of our friendship.
  22. gjdale
    Sorry Sam - must be "extreme" macro to show fuzz on Chuck's thread!
  23. gjdale
    Very nice Gil. And thanks Danny for the index - very useful for those of who use Gil's log as a reference!
  24. gjdale
    Very, VERY, nicely done Mark. Take a bow!
  25. gjdale
    Is there no limit to your ingenuity Daniel? I think not!

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.
