    I count myself very fortunate in this regard Pat. She’s also just given approval-in-principle for major capital expenditure for proper dust collection in the “big” workshop. All I have to mention is “safety” and approval is forthcoming. Sorry for the highjack Alan - and now we return you to normal programming....

    That’s why I was allowed to buy a SawStop Tablesaw. That’s one purchase I didn’t even have to try to convince SWMBO was worth the investment - just showed her the video and she “ordered” me to buy one!!!!

    Nicely done Mark. Must get easier from here - if they’re smaller, there’s less wood; ergo, must be easier!😉

    Similar in some ways to pear in terms of workability, but somewhat less expensive is cherry.

    Nicely done, despite the challenges of the kit Danny. I see your next model is staying with card - any plans to move back to wood anytime soon?

    Ouch! So sorry to hear that Jeff. Not so sure the child would have been unscathed in my house!!!! Seriously though, glad that no harm came to the little darling.

    David, It may seem to be a tedious process (and it is), but it is well worth the extra effort to do the additional coats and progressively finer wet sanding/polishing. You will end up with a mirror smooth finish that also will have a ‘depth’ to it.

    Looking good David!

    Actually Vossie, I’d say your build looks as flash as a rat with a gold tooth!

    Not bad Pat! 😉
  11. gjdale
    Magnificent!

    By the way Vivian, where are the wedding photos? You know what they say, if there’s no photos it didn’t happen! Just sayin’.........😉😁😁😁

    Glad to hear the painting tip worked out for you. Wish I could take credit for it, but I picked it up from someone else here on the forum. Your paint job looks excellent.

    Great to see you back Vivian, and as others have said, congratulations on your marriage. I wish you many happy years together.

    Chris, You can’t go better than the Byrnes saw and many of us Aussies have the privilege of owning one. You just have to be prepared to pay the exorbitant postage fees, which are beyond Jim’s control. At the time I bought mine, the postage added about 50% to the cost of the saw. Nowadays, you’ll also have to be prepared to pay GST as well.... It hurts, but it’s worth every penny! As the saying goes, “quality is remembered long after price is forgotten”.

    Thanks for another excellent video Paul. You have a real knack for explaining and demonstrating techniques - I always learn something from watching these. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

    I look forward to following your progress on this one Kevin.

    Okay - just made it in time for a front row seat!

    Looking good David. If you’re worried about paint getting under the edge of your masking tape, try sealing the “wet” edge of the tape with a coat of clear varnish first.

    Great to see you back at the bench Patrick, with your lovely model. Welcome home!
  21. gjdale
    I love the Chris Craft boats. Are you going to make this a working RC model?
  22. gjdale
    Outstanding, as always, Rusty. I look forward to following your next project.
  23. gjdale
    Looks pretty good to me B.E. and knowing your attention to detail, I suspect you will be dissatisfied if you decide NOT to do the other 11 guns. So best you get back to it!!!😉😄😄😄

    I have not one, but two Pocher kits in my stash awaiting my attention.........

    Lovely work Joachim.

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.
