    I've seen lots of ways of making gratings before Sherry, but never that one! Looks like you've done your usual fine job too. Well done!

    Hey, great story Mahuna. As a proud owner of both Sherline lathe and Mill (and more accessories than I care to let my wife know about ) it's nice to read about such fabulous customer support. I'm glad for you that you had such an opportunity.

    Nicely done Bob. Good choice to proceed with the treenails.

    Welcome home John. It's great to hear that you had such a wonderful trip, capped off by the opportunity to meet with some of the truly wonderful people from this forum. Now, get in the shipyard and get back to work!

    Hi Robert, Great to see you back in the shipyard and continuing with your lovely build. Looks like your gun carriages are going to turn out great. Of course, we all know that this was just another excuse to play with your Byrnes saw Isn't it just a wonderful machine to use?!!!

    Jsiegel17, Welcome to my log. I am truly glad if my humble build has inspired a return to your own build. I thought mine had been going a little while, having started in 1996, but it seems you have about ten years on me! As long we remind ourselves that it's not a race, well be okay! Do you have a build log of your own? If not, it's never too late to start one It will be your best source of advice, encouragement, and inspiration. In the meantime, if I can be of any further assistance, don't hesitate to ask.

    Gosh that's good Karl. Simply wonderful! I'm with Joe (Wacko Wolf) - I could sit and stare at your pictures all day. What a treat!

    Danny, For the benefit of any Aussies wondering, you can order LoS online here: http://www.polymerclay.com.au/xlgel2liverofsulphurextendedlifegel2oz-p-12378.html I have some and it works really well.

    Okay you lot, stand aside or lose a limb!!! I'm coming through - a little late, but in time for a second row seat at least I hope. Looks to be a really interesting subject John, I'll join the crowd and applaud as usual.

    Very nice Patrick. I'll bet you're glad now that you took the time and effort to fix that waterline.
  14. gjdale
    That's very, VERY, clever Karl! Thanks for sharing.

    Come on now, let's SeeYours!

    Sweet Augie!

    Can you tell us the model number of the one on the right in the photo please? I can't seem to spot it on the Proxxon site. Looks cool though!

    Hi Eric, Welcome to the MSW forum from Down Under! Sorry to hear of your troubled start but I'm sure it will get rectified soon. I think you have chosen probably the best Victory kit currently on the market and I wish you well with it. While there are a number of CC Victory builds here, and even more from other manufacturers, I do recommend that you have a look through Gil Middleton's build log. I think his is a great guide for any Victory builder, with lots of tips and tricks to guide your way. I look forward to following your progress.

    I think that will be a good choice Clare. A nice contrast to draw the eye to a feature of the build.

    Sam, I think the closest to describing how to pronounce Sjors, would be "See Yours", which of course explains why he is always asking for pictures of other people's builds!!! :P By the way, nice work on the mast SeeYours!
  22. gjdale
    Looking good Augie, but I can't understand the delays either!
  23. gjdale
    Masterful as always Ed, and a joy to watch this emerge.

    Visions of "you know who" making his usual demands............

    Okay - I lied! Here's a couple of pics of this weekend's limited production run. These are all 9/32" (7mm) blocks, single and double. These are the largest I've made to date. I think I've got the sheave holes pretty much in the right place now. And a couple of close ups. Some final finishing around the holes is all that's required to use these. Hopefully more production next weekend - I'm getting into the groove now (pun intended).

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.
