    Dave, that's the sixty four thousand dollar question. It's kinda like, why do we always push king's pawn two on opening.

    Mark, I've not seen a pond yacht that didn't have a lead keel. Beautiful old model.

    Mark, why don't you contact our approved vendor, Ropes of Scale. https://ropesofscale.com

    Yves, you think Italeri are expensive, look up Pocher kits on eBay. Any one of the Pocher kits is crazy expensive. I'm really surprised the Chinese haven't started making counterfeit Pocher kits. https://www.ebay.com/itm/325507304484?epid=2181481725&hash=item4bc9bf4c24:g:2DoAAOSwqxJjy-nj&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoOpVbAm8eR93o8Kj5N1JiSJ3iKmGPKQEbDQ5cyiqeFSURdcT0hS%2FqvgfFqvM2Qx9TutL9Ns9X1ePrMaS%2FjK075bR2oiPsIQMPWJ5Qn6JN12Za4xP71LejWx2bNJHdcABS%2FG%2FRTnADi3gyUcWUICkSo5wHf1CpRRRWMT2gGvpNpyia9Bu04haydjEqU1AWtRDopTRI1pAPWF9POLrLqvDCN4%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR87mgbzSYQ

    Jeff, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

    Glen, my vote is the green vertical slit eyes bottom far right or the yellower pair to the top left of first choice. This image came up after searching Google for 'Kraken eyes'

    Apprentices aboard the USS Tennessee ca. 1880. The youngest looking lad appears to be 14, give or take.

    Milo, while this is a Billings plan it should give you a good guide. https://www.billingboats.com/components/com_redshop/assets/document/extrafields/1582675905_1485165543-bb564-cutty-sark-main-plan.pdf

    We're pretty close as we live in Grass Lake. Would love to find at least four of us within a twenty mile radius to explore starting a club.

    Don, do you live in Michigan? If so, where? Nothing more than trying to establish how many of us Michiganders there are here on MSW and if there are enough of us in a particular area to start a club. Thank you.........Keith

    Like Roger, I thought I remembered a model in the sales photos in the link Tom posted but after carefully going through them I don't see a model. I seem to remember a model so clearly I thought maybe it was another yacht so I combed through photos and the only thing close to a model I came across was the inlaid table in Eva. Damn, I hate getting old.

    Stephan, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

    Ras, congratulations on completing your great build.

    I'm a bit late to the party but I managed to get a seat. Interesting subject, Javelin. Its tasking shape nicely.
  19. Keith Black
    It'll be the floor model.
  20. Keith Black
    I can't wait, a pretty lass with steam power to boot.
  21. Keith Black
    You're more than welcome brother Tom, anytime.

    Tom, due to the size and the required repetitive profile I would order the rail stanchions. I bought mine (brass) from Cornwall Model Boats in the UK but they have a $50.00 order min. I searched around to see what else was available on this side of the pond. I bet if you go through our approved vendor list and check for rail stanchions you'll find ample availability. What is the length you need? https://www.castyouranchorhobby.com/Category/stanchions_c https://www.historicships.com/product/walnut-stanchions-6mm/

    Tom, a profile shaper?

    Your Germania comes as close to perfect as any model i've had the pleasure to view. Keith, thank you for allowing us to journey with you on your build. I've enjoyed every post and have been inspired by all. Congratulations!

    Scotty, Scotty. You missed a golden opportunity with SWMBO. You should have told her the holder required a special drill and it cost twenty bucks. "I'm sorry honey, I know I should have said something before I spent the twenty dollars but I was anxious to get the job done. Promise, it won't happen again" Going that route you'd be ahead $20.00 with the accounting department.

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.
