    Looks fabulous Mark.

    Fabulous work, as always, and wonderful photography as well Karl. Looking forward to continuing to follow your progress in 2016.

    Congratulations Bug. A truly fine model of which you can be justifiably proud.

    Great photos John - nice and sharp and very clear. Looks like you've given yourself a beaut Xmas present there!

    Tedious maybe, Bob, but your execution is superb.

    Nice to you see you back in the shipyard. Looks like you're almost done - and looking terrific too.

    What about making a wooden cap or sleeve to go over the end of the punch? That might protect it a bit without losing the impact force. Very cool pick up by the way!

    Sweet! And yup, stray from Admitalty instructions at your peril..................

    Nicely done Cathead, she's really taking shape now.

    Happy Birthday Frank. I trust you were duly spoiled all round!

    Wise move to consult with the Admiralty, Bug! That might have saved you a flogging or three!!!

    Great to see you back at the workbench Sjors. Looking good.

    Sherline make a high speed pulley set for the mill (available as an accessory). Fitting it is a relatively simple job.

    Happy Birthday Remco! I hope you were suitably spoiled.

    If you're going to paint it, then styrene would be a good choice. Very flexible, easy to work, etc. Most Hobby shops will carry a range of it - Evergreen is a brand name that comes to mind. I think it's used a lot by model rail roaders.

    Congratulations on achieving such a major milestone Mark! Definitely time for the happy dance. Then down tools while you do some serious celebrating with the adult beverage of your choice. No more power tools until the room stops spinning okay?!!!

    Your sails look fabulous bug. If you like the look, there is no reason why you couldn't leave one (or more) sails unfurled. It would give the appearance of the vessel underway, which would be in keeping with the look you're trying to achieve. The mixture of furled and unfurled sails would look quite effective (IMHO).

    Who's been a busy boy then, Bob? Lovely work on those details.

    My lips are sealed ;)

    Well played, Sir! A beautiful piece of machining Ed.

    Great to see you starting this log Mobbsie - looks like I'm just in time for a front row seat. As others have said, this is a really nice little kit and fun to build.
  22. gjdale
    Great job on the deck planking Bob, it looks beautiful.
  23. gjdale
    Another interesting build Clare. I've grabbed a centre front row seat for this one!
  24. gjdale
    That is just stunning Remco, as we have come to expect from you. I will join the others in asking for further description/explanation of the tube jig.

    Robbyn, A "poor man's" waterline marker can be made by grabbing a takeaway coffee cup (preferably empty), turning it upside down, then inserting a pencil through one side and out the other at the required height. Then run the coffee cup around the ship. Voila - instant waterline!

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.
