    Thanks so much for this thread @thibaultron . It's hugely helpful in understanding the process invovled. I've had printed guns done for a previous project and have been weighing up whether to commission another job for my current project or invest in a printer for this and future use. Lots of food for thought here.

    Great work BE. I've drifted away from ship modelling for a bit so missed most of this build an am having a great time catching up. Fine work indeed on a fine kit. You've nailed the aesthetic of the period. I'm seriously considering a Vanguard kit now as scratch building's so time consuming.

    I'm really coveting your vessel here Jason. It's everything I wanted to try with an Artois-class before being distracted by my 1/36 Enterprise (which has been but back on the stocks with some frame shaping done, although nothing worth posting). Our puppy chewed the corner of my Anatomy of the Ship Diana book on a low shelf the other day and briefly reminded me of what could one day still be. I suspect I'll end up just watching your superior build!
  26. Timmo
    Nice work Jason. I'll be looking to appropriate that volute solut-ion (geddit?) for future work. The colour tones are looking great on the hull too.
  27. Timmo
    Thanks mate, much appreciated. There's very few untried ideas out there, just ones that are refined by further use after being taken from others. I got most of these ideas off the fine builds on this site so it's nice to hear they are again helping others here. Keep up the good work. Also, if you dangle a mortar canopy as I did, you might want to put a weight of some sort on the underside to put a realistic strain on the hoist cables. I used some lead foil folded over a couple of times as it could be kept out of sight.

    Looking good there Brian. I've responded to a couple of Qs back on my build log. Wayne

    Hi Brian, Sorry about the delay in response. I've had the ship building on low-rotate for a while and don't get back here too often. I do intend to return to future builds though and love still looking at the fine work on this site. In answer to your questions- I think I still have the canopies in a box somewhere. I harboured visions of using them along with a jolly boat and other miscellaneous bits incorporated into the display like the dropped anchor but never quite got there. I just wanted to show a mortar 'run out' and another more tidily stowed. Asthetics over realism there. Also I just glued them onto the deck. Thanks for the kind words about the compsition on the display there. I'd bought the plans from NMM and then couldn't justify the expense of framing so came up with incorporating a colour scan of it into the ship modelling.

    I don't understand the shipping restrictions at present. I recently got a parcel from Hungary in about a week via UPS. I tracked the flights out of curiosity and there seemed to be plenty.

    That is really quite something Reg. Such nice work
  32. Timmo
    Lovely clean decks there Reg. Nice work.

    Hi Reg, Any change in the shipping situation? Keen to see more of your fine work and I’m also at a loose end and considering starting a Winnie.
  34. Timmo
    Reg, Have you tried NZ post Youshop? You get USPS or whoever to ship to the NZ Post depot inthe US, Oregon I think, and they onsend it from there. It caters for all the people like us at the quiet end of the earth that some people won't ship to or those who only do domestic. I've used it before with goods from companies in the States that use one of those mad US Postal service calculators that makes the shipping 10x the cost of the item. It's worked well without much cost. However, the item probably needs to be commercially packaged/ labelled. as I suspect it relies on scanning tech. I tried it once for a friend in the states sending me some scale rope in an envelope with a handwritten address and coding for the depot and it disappeared.

    That’s great work and a string of very educational posts Jason. Glad to see her back underway. The spreadsheet idea seems so obvious and is something I’ll store away for future. Coincidentally I’ve been fitting decking to a 1:1 scale sailing dinghy and spent a day working out tapers and spacing for a measly five planks.
  36. Timmo
    Good work Reg. That's a busy looking gundeck of very tidy weapons.

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.
