    Incredible detail Slog. Still amazing what can come out a piece of paper in the hands of a skilled craftsman. Marv

    Hi Keith, probably could. I'll have to look around a little. Finding stuff down here can be a bit of a challenge, but it would add to it for sure.

    The chairs really slowed me down. More to do for the upper decks, but I have an idea for a little jig that I might try.

    The main deck is pretty much together. It may not stand up to close up scrutiny, but the effect is there. Hopefully the more visible areas will come out a little better. The side walls are removable so the interior can be shown. Marv

    Finally a little progress. I ended jumping around as I didn't have the proper paint. Most of the furniture for the main deck interior is painted. I have a few odds and sods to clean up and I should be able to start on the second deck.

    Beautifull Mike, very nice work.

    Isn't there supposed to be a big flappy round thing on the back? Just kidding Mike. Looks fantastic. You will have her sailing the shelf in no time.

    Gotta hate it when work gets in the way of modelling. Safe travels.

    Very nice Mike. Coming along very well. Mine is progressing, but not much you can see. Getting into the main deck details and interiors. Waiting on paint hasn't helped either. Getting good quality supplies down here is a slow process. I can do lots, but can't finish much. Marv

    Very nice Slog. Good choice, the pleats look great.

    Looking good Slog. You are getting it wrestled down.
  12. Panama Port
    LOL It's okay Mike. We are allowed a little slippage every now and then.

    Very nice Mike. Good to see some more progress. My Mississippi has been languishing a little lately. Who'd a thunk this retirement life could get so busy. Hopefully your update will motivate me to get back on it. Keep'em coming.

    Very nice Slog. They came out great. I don't know if I could muster that much patience. Thanks for the detail. Marv

    Thanks for the detailed description Slog. What type of glue do you use? Marv

    Hi Mike, it's really frustrating when our expectations don't quite match our toolkits. Throw in some uncooperative pieces and it makes for a bad modelling day. I know you have seen it on my log too. The upside is when we get/develop additions to our toolkit. I think you have done well with this already. But then again I live with expectations and toolkit that are far more modest than yours. Well done amigo. Marv

    Very nice Slog. Coming along beautifully. Question; I live in the tropics and the humidity gets very high here. Would this create problems with a card model? We have been hesitant to bring most of our photographs down for that reason.

    I hate wallpaper!! I won't do it for the admiral and can't believe I did it for this model. As usual the reasons became very obvious very quickly. The first one went on quite well. I thought I might be able to do this then disaster struck. Paper stuck and I tore it to shreds trying to get it off. Can you see it? $30 Printer/Copier and a little creativity solved the problem.

    Thanks Mike, I see your point and it's a good one although I'm glad I hadn't thought of it yet. I managed to plank one wall on the wrong side as it looks almost identical front and back. Almost!!! Didn't realize until an adjacent wall was test fit. The planking was easy to replace. The wallpaper wouldn't have been. Cobr, that's what first class gambling establishments had in the day. Don't you know. I refuse to help the Admiral with her decorating and now find myself doing my own. Who'd a thunk? Marv

    Nice job Mike. Planking came out very nice. There are more contours in that hull than were apparent from the frames.
  21. Panama Port
    Thanks Bob, I liked that too. Got the planking completed and started on the main deck walls. Some of the tabs and slots were out a bit, but it came together fairly well so far.
  22. Panama Port
    i managed to lose my last batch of pics, but these will provide a view of some of the first planking on the hull. The main deck is planked with a first coat of vanish.

    Hi Captain, I too will pull up a chair if you don't mind. My interest drifts towards this era, but I'm particularly interested in the medium. What can come out of paper blows my mind and quite likely will be my next adventure. Looking forward to following your progress. Marv
  24. Panama Port
    Hey Mike, Now that I have connected you to this build I will follow along with interest. Both our boats are at a similar stage so it will be fun as we continue along. I agree with Kurt. Given the number of bulkheads on your model and the apparent care you took to fair them, I think the planking will go very smoothly. Marv
  25. Panama Port
    Thanks very much Mike. When I get closer I will dive into the details with you. I would have merrily continued on without realizing it. Beautiful job on yours. I hope I can get mine close to that. Thanks again Marv

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.
