    You have me intrigued Kevin. I’ll follow along too.

    Great news for the modelling community that Sea Watch Books will not only continue, but will update its service model as well. Congratulations and best wishes for every success.

    Nicely done Kevin - congratulations on completing yet another fine build.

    I somehow missed the start of this one Glen. Love what you’ve done so far. I’ll pull up a chair for the rest of the build. Still trying to catch up with other “priorities” before I start my own SIB.

    Well worth the effort Yves - the result is quite stunning.

    Great work Bug - that is just outstanding!

    That’s looking fantastic Marc!

    I too have a Festool vac that I use not only for all of my Byrnes equipment, but also my full size hand held tools (sander, router etc). I also have the blue tooth unit, which is handy, and I always plug my machines directly into the Festool power outlet so that the vac turns on when the relevant machine turns on and turns off a few seconds after the machine turns off (to clear the line). I also added Festool’s own cyclone attachment, which stacks on top of the base unit and works well, although it does add to the overall size.

    Nice progress Bob. I have sent you a PM about dealing with ME and missing parts. I hope this helps you get it sorted.

    Outstanding Yves - she is looking just beautiful.

    Congratulations Ryland - very well deserved too!

    Frank, I wonder if it might be time for you to start your own build log, rather than hijacking Andrew’s?
  13. gjdale
    I’m no expert, but that layout looks pretty good to me Bob. I agree with the others about not doing all of one side at once, for the reasons already given. An alternative to the chart tape is thin cotton held in place with some diluted white glue.

    I somehow missed the start of this log Bob, so am just catching up. Looks like you’ve made excellent progress so far. Model building is a series of challenges and problem solving, and I think this is what makes it so enjoyable - actually working out solutions and implementing them. You’ve done a fine job of solving the problems you’ve encountered to date, so have confidence in your abilities as a modeller. I look forward to following along the rest of this build.

    Congratulations on completion of your capstan build Eric - you’ve done a great job on it, with your own unique take on the project too.
  16. gjdale
    An elegant solution to a tricky part of the build Eric.
  17. gjdale
    Glad to hear of the fix for your eyes Mark.
  18. gjdale
    ….and I thought I was joking…….🥴 So we now have a game of “where’s Wally?”…. I’m afraid my eyes aren’t good enough to find it - I’ll need a hint.
  19. gjdale
    Outstanding Glen - well done! Can’t help but notice the absence of the penguin though….😉🤣
  20. gjdale
    Very cool Bug!

    Well done on the “big push” Glen. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly with the mast raising.🤞
  23. gjdale
    Keith - told ya! 🤣
  24. gjdale
    Now you’ve done it! You just know that Glen is gonna do something with that don’t you?
  25. gjdale
    Sorry to hear that Mark. Hope you are able to resolve the vision issues soon. We’ll wait patiently for you in the meantime.

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.
