Just moved house and this is destined to be my new workshop. It will be dual purpose: the outer (street) end is for general woodworking and stuff with modelmaking taking up the back half. It's been dubbed 'the fiddleyard'. -
Andy, both of the crew went into the Aegean trapped in the wreckage.

In the 1915 shelling of Kavalla by RN monitors the Farman biplane acting as spotter was torn apart by turbulence from passing shells without actually having been hit.

Hello Francois, There are several other drawings in the Dansk archive as well. They are all together, numbers G2343 to G2390. Here is the link to G2343: Arkivalieronline Use the control on the top bar and the list on the left side to view the rest of the series. Here is the link to the library index cards, the process is the same. Arkivalieronline Have fun, there are thousands of images! Bruce

Found this unidentified vessel in an online collection of photograph albums ( [Photograph Album] : Eppler, Arthur O., 1873 - : Free Borrow & Streaming : Internet Archive ) Staring at this, I almost sympathise with the U-boat commander.

It's interesting to see the difference between this build and my CAF longboat, purchased about five years ago. The kit has evolved. One of the changes is the more detailed stern. I had already decided to replace the plain stern in my kit: now I see Tom has had the same thought. hmcarlin, you're off to a good start, I will pull up a chair.

A tungsten dart works very well. If you plan on working with metal, it's worth considering having a dedicated scriber for metal and saving your awl for wood.

Decals for draft markings

From experience: this works very well but DON'T burnish/rub down the numbers. Just set them in place, press gently and lift away the carrier sheet. Don't ask me how I know.

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.
