    Bob, the sails and their shapes look great.

    Gary, I thought it was you that told a story in your Last Dollar build about building a railcar and weathering it? You took it to a show and an old guy dressed you down about the weathering and told you maybe some someday you'd learn how to properly build a model. Something like that or close to it. From the story I thought you built railroad stuff. If this wasn't/isn't your story I deem myself ready for professional help and five o'clock med cups with tiny umbrellas.

    Tom, how very kind of you. Now I know why mom liked you best.
  4. Keith Black
    I looked for kits and couldn't find one. Maybe Mr Google was just being contrary?

    Sorry, Gary. As much of a train guy as you are I thought you'd be familiar with the term "tag". Tag = graffiti. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_(graffiti)

    At just shy of 76 that's exactly my speed, perfect!

    Great look, Gary. Question, do you ever tag any of your walls or rolling stock?

    Keith, sorry to be late to the party. On the box artwork the channels look ridiculously low, almost at the waterline, I hope that's not the case. You must have a airbrush, the paint looks great.

    Siggi, glad to hear all is well. I look forward to watching the Tiger progress.

    Oh no, can't make a stinkin' penguin but we bloody well can make a frigging bottle guzzling, viking chewing, scare the knickers off ya Kraken! This is gonna be good. Wait a minute, I thought your son lost his input privileges?

    The compass was illuminated, if what the arrow is pointing to is not a lamp, then where is the lamp?

    Eric, the pilot house turned out great considering. If the curved portion is supposed to be roofed, were it I, I'd use card for the roofing material.
  13. Keith Black
    I love that expression.

    The compass had to be illuminated, if that's not the lamp then where is the lamp? Yes, if in fact that is the lamp then it's low but then the compass itself is low which I don't understand the reasoning behind as compasses/binnacles were normally close to eye level. A Flinders bar was placed at the fore of the compass, not the aft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flinders_bar Another compass with lamp. https://www.ebay.com/itm/255774428696?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=255774428696&targetid=1263094004866&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=1019476&poi=&campaignid=14859008593&mkgroupid=130497710760&rlsatarget=pla-1263094004866&abcId=9300678&merchantid=6296724&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoaDQ2caz_AIVmg2tBh3wtwKZEAkYBSABEgKT8vD_BwE

    David, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.
  19. Keith Black
    Brian, I didn't know you were having bicep tendon issues. Sorry to hear about this but glad you're on the mend after surgery. The contraption looks like you've been borged.
  20. Keith Black
    I'm glad I wasn't sipping my coffee when I read this or else I would have had to clean my computer screen and keyboard. Too funny.
  21. Keith Black
    Johann, I believe it to be a lamp.
  22. Keith Black
    Pat, every mast component image I've seen shows the caps 90 degrees to the mast and that's the way I made mine. I can't point you to anything definitive, sorry. Hoping you find the answer you need.
  23. Keith Black
    Gary, love the bricked up window. Great detail even if it wasn't part of the initial plan.
  24. Keith Black
    Welcome back to MSW. Glad to have you back aboard.

    Bob's your uncle, Simon.

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.
