    Have fun at the race track Mobbsie! Glad to hear you managed to turn the two canons from ebony - looking forward to seeing the pics.

    You can check out the Granado Cross-section (scratch) from the link in my signature block below. If you want a full model as well, Caldercraft/Jotika do a nice kit.

    Ouch Danny! What a shame. Can't wait to see your bound-to-be-ingenious fix!

    Very nicely done Clare. That is a really sweet looking model. Congratulations.

    Carriages look great Mobbsie. Shame about the split wood - I'll be giving my stock a careful check over before following suit!

    Outstanding Nils! Looking just fabulous.

    Hey Danny, As someone once said to me, where did you get that giant fake hand? :D
  9. gjdale
    Now that is simply stunning work Nils. Great job!

    Excellent work Mobbsie. That mortar barrel turned out exceptionally well - I think you under-rate your skills and abilities with that lathe! You are now officially ahead of me once more - and I'm very happy with that!!!

    Welcome to the forum Glenn. This looks like a very interesting project, so I'm taking a front row seat to follow along here.

    More spectacular work Alexandru. Just beautiful. And a very informative set of photographs too, thank you.

    Excellent looking planking job there Bob.

    Lovely work Ray.

    That's a particularly clever piece of design/engineering for raising the mast Danny!

    Good to see you back at it Mobbsie. Glad to hear that my mistakes have served a purpose in giving you a heads up! Brave call on the scuppers but they worked out a treat. Everything is looking great - you'll be caught up to me in no time.

    Very nice Bob!

    Looks pretty darn good from where I'm sitting Hamilton! Congratulations on completing a tricky build. Like all of us, your best model will be your next one!
  22. gjdale
    Congratulations on getting through that nerve-wracking process Hamilton. I'm sure the rest will work out just fine from here.

    Martin, Just thought I'd throw in my two cents on your "tooling up". Living in Australia, I too have to contend with horrendous shipping costs and unfavourable exchange rates. But I decided to bite the bullet and buy the Byrnes saw and disc sander, and the Sherline lathe and mill. And I don't regret a single cent they cost me. All of them are a joy to use. Remember the old saying, "quality is remembered long after price is forgotten". Also, Sherline offer a range of packages for both lathe and mill, and (I think) a combination of both. The Sherline range of accessories seems almost endless too! By the way, lovely build you have going here!

    Nice to see your log up John - better late than never, as they say. Looks like you're doing a great job.

    Max, I have this Proxxon drill press: http://www.proxxonworld.com.au/product/bench_drill_tbm_115_110-120v (I have the 240V version) It seems to be very good quality and is a pleasure to use. Ignore the pricing - that's Australian dollars. You should be able to get a good price through John (Texxn5) who is an agent for Proxxon in the U.S.

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.
