Nils, I am eager to construct this ship. I find the project highly intriguing. However, it will have to wait until my retirement. Let me know if you need any details. I am looking forward to your progress. Hermann

Hi Nils, I don’t know if you know, but there is a model plan for the „Feuerschiff‘‘ Elbe 1, scale 1:50. I don't know if the plan is from Helmut Thomas, or from somebody else. It has been a long time since I purchased the plan, I believe there are 6 sheets. But you can still buy the plan from eBay. Good luck with the build! I am curious how you manufacture the lenses. Hermann

Thank you for explaining it. Yup, it is probably a very good idea so seal everything with varnish! Yes, there are many ways to lay a deck. I did it with black paper, but it is very messy when you are sanding it. The better way is to scrape it. The lover part in the picture is done scraping the upper part has to be done.

Byrnes table saw saw blade height adjustment problem
Hsae replied to Hsae's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment

I don’t know if somebody ran into this problem before. But here we go. I recently wanted to change the blade height and discovered that it was not moving at all. Well, make a long story short, it disconnected the saw and took the saw blade off. After that I turned the saw on it back to check what was wrong. Apparently the fine saw dust got somehow in the thread and blocked the grub screw from turning. It was so tight I had to use vise grip pliers to move it. After dismantling the whole thing and cleaned and lubricated it properly it worked as advertised again. The tools I used: - 11/16 & 7/16 wrench for removing the blade - vise grip pliers - 5/64 Allen wrench for removing the ball-joint coupling - 1/4-28 tap - WD-40 - brush And what do we learn out of this episode? Clean your tools from time to time! Happy modeling, Hermann

It's a shame he didn't want the hull. Now the hull without the fittings is almost worthless. The Blue Jacket Constitution cost around $500.00 new, so even if he had to get then hull to get the fittings, he would have still gotten a hell of a deal and he would be stuck with the hull. I'm sure Blue Jacket will sell the fittings package separately, but it would cost $300.00 or more.
I made the mistake of adopting a partial built blue jacket model years ago and inquired about buying the fittings from blue jacket, who gladly sent me the fittings package for almost what the original kit cost.

Paul, Nice work on the Corvette! Wish I could see your work. I am also sometimes struggling with soldering small parts. Would love to be in a soldering workshop! Hermann

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.
