    I am surprised how bad the accuracy for the „laser cut“ pieces are. Oh well, live and learn. I did cut the molds according to the drawing, glued some strips on the molds where it was necessary. After that a lot of sanding.

    Amazing work! I assume you did that on your Proxxon CNC mill. Quite impressive! What wood do you use to mill such small items? Boxwood? Hermann

    The first thing I noticed that the molds do not match the drawing. Believing that the drawings are accurate I have some work to do.

    I always wanted to build this boat. I bought the hard copy To Build a Whaleboat by Eric Ronnberg 20 years ago. I found the kit by accident on eBay for a reasonable price. Inspired by the already existing excellent blogs in this forum I will give it a try. The box I received didn’t look so good and I was afraid that the wood was wrapped already, but to my surprise it was still good (so far as I know). There is one thing I do not like from the beginning, the drawings are on both sides, obviously to save paper. That makes it kind of annoying to look for certain things. I believe the older kits had it on separate sheets, or the newer version?

    Oh, they are the real ones. I assumes they are in 1/36 scale. Thanks anyway! Hermann

    Keith, may I ask you from where you got the the mentioned retains straps ? Btw, outstanding model! Hermann

    Chris, thank you for letting us a look into your production area. You are building great model kits! Hopefully at same time in the near future I am able to build one too! But how did a plastic model ended up in your shop??? 🤔

    I am using for the Proxxon a “ring” LED (eBay) and for the drill press a magnifying LED ((AliExpress) which I can also use for the Proxxon. Both are giving sufficient light for detail work.

    It’s quite impressive Yves! Well done! Hermann

    Last night I was working on the planking for the bridge. I had to do some modifications. Moved the “stairway” and cut the “windbreaker “
  11. Hsae
    Stunning work Greg! 👍👍👍 Hermann
  12. Hsae
    Yes, but you would probably always see it. I mixed so many colors that it is tough to match. Plus I cut already the frame to size. I am just debating if I use glass (heavy) or acrylic glass (easily scratched)
  13. Hsae
    Thanks Yves, I Hope it will be a great diorama. I only wish I had made it a little bit longer … oh well!
  14. Hsae
    Yep, can’t dive, there will be wood underneath! Lol

    Glad to see you back on your Bluebell, Kevin! Great work, Hermann PS: I hope you didn’t glue the wooden panels at the deck yet. You have to switch sides. 😉
  16. Hsae
    No problem. I guess all the memories are coming back again. Thank you for sharing Kevin.
  17. Hsae
    Thanks Kevin, appreciated! I will see if I can squeeze one officer and two lockouts on the bridge.
  18. Hsae
    Wow, that’s quite interesting. I do have some questions for you, if you don’t mind. What kind of equipment have they extended typically when they are surfaced. Besides radar. And what color did they have? I don’t know if I got the “tiling” right, what do you think? And how many sailer where on the “bridge” typically?
  19. Hsae
    Yes, it is the HMS Vanguard S-28 SSBN with the tug “Rowangath”
  20. Hsae
    Thanks Kevin!
  21. Hsae
    Of cause I still have to do some touch ups. 😉 My project on the side …
  22. Hsae
    It has been a while since I last posted something. My apologies! But that is the nice thing with this hobby, you can leave it for a while and start again later. Well, small progress. I weathered the hull and placed it into the “water”. I final finished the deck and installed the degaussing cables. I don’t know if they where around at the time (1943), but I thought it is a nice feature.
  23. Hsae
    If I may ask, how did you square the holes so nicely. It looks like you did the main part with a router/mill and the rest with a chisel? Btw, beautiful work!
  24. Hsae
    Yep, unfortunately they copied all the mistakes from the old matchbox kit. Except the stern. The Snowberry had a round stern. Otherwise it is an impressive build! Very neat to build it on a 3D printer! Hermann
  25. Hsae
    I have to agree. It is the galley. However the galley has an “extension” . See photo.

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.
