    Definitely! But that's half the fun!!!

    Lovely to see you back in your new shipyard Robbyn. And don't worry, it's like riding a bike - you'll pick it up again in no time.

    That's good advice from Jim, and is exactly what I did. I can say though, that regardless of the shipping/import costs, these machines are worth every cent paid. "Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten!"

    Great work Frank - looks superb!

    Excellent Michael - just can't think of any other words!

    Thanks for the extra info Keith.

    Some great ideas there Keith. I particularly like the blade-changing locking mechanism. I may very well have a crack at copying that idea myself!

    Looks like I made it in time for a front row seat too. Really enjoyed your Niagara build log Ken, so I'm looking forward to following this one too.

    That would seem a wise move at this stage Kevin. Looking forward to seeing more of your Bismarck.

    Boats are looking terrific with the addition of that amount of detail John. Great work mate!

    Congratulations Mobbsie! What a stunning looking final model. You've done an excellent job on her my friend. Looking forward to seeing her in the display case she deserves. I'm still a few weeks behind you at the moment, so you've probably got time to finish two or three more builds before I catch up!

    Congratulations on finishing a truly fine model Ken. You can be justifiably very proud of her!

    Great progress Cathead, she's looking great. I'd go with making your own windows and doors. It might take longer, but will be more satisfying in the end and hey, it's not a race after all. Just my AUD $0.002 (at an appalling exchange rate!)

    And another Happy Birthday from me too Augie. Hope your feeling better.

    More brilliant work Nils!

    Nice work on the detail Bug.
  17. gjdale
    Well done Jesse - looks great!

    I'm inclined to agree with Joel, if soldering isn't an option, then epoxy is probably a good choice.

    Great progress John. The rigging will keep you challenged for some time, but just keep plugging away. She's looking fabulous.

    Michael, I think if you did choose to write a book explaining your techniques in a step-by-step way, it would be an instant best-seller. It would certainly find its way onto my bookcase!
  21. gjdale
    I agree, just beautiful work Albert!
  22. gjdale
    Thanks guys. Augie - the timber on the gun carriages will be left natural (other than a coat of wipe-on poly, which will darken it a little), in keeping with the rest of the build philosophy of "painting with timber".

    I have the Proxxon FMZ vice as well, and I love it. I also have a Panavice with a suction base. I prefer the Proxxon.
  24. gjdale
    Great to see you back at it Michael. Always enjoy reading your updates.
  25. gjdale
    Very clever Mark - well done!

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.
