    Craig, the chassis looks very nice and your daughter and her new found love are beautiful. Question, I don't understand why you stripped the chrome off their respective pieces?
  2. Keith Black
    Great video, Johann. Such beautiful work.
  3. Keith Black
    Melissa, impressive results.
  4. Keith Black
    Bob, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

    JD, if the studding sail booms were at the top of the yard they would interfere with the lifts.
  6. Keith Black
    Congratulations, Craig.
  7. Keith Black
    That looks great, Glen.
  8. Keith Black
    I think the flag looks great, the thickness seems just right. Single layer printed both sides would look too thin IMHO.
  9. Keith Black
    Pete, you can see we kept the lights on for you. Wishing you the best with your builds.
  10. Keith Black
    Wow, Brian. The ships boats, covers, and tackle look great and the deck structures look amazing.
  11. Keith Black
    Oh, horse pucky.
  12. Keith Black
    Glen, the hull passes through the opening without issue?
  13. Keith Black
    Even the Force has to sleep from time to time unless she keeps it under her pillow. Better yet, tell her you need to inspect the contents for damage as you don't want to wait till after Christmas to file a claim if something is missing or broken as it maybe too late by then. All joking aside, from experience you need to inspect the contents for missing or broken pieces now, not Christmas morning.

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

    That's funny, Simon. I wish you luck but you know you'll fail, we mortal men don't stand a chance against the force.
  17. Keith Black
    They will but they have a $50.00 order minimum.

    Meghan, welcome to MSW. Hopefully we'll be able to view your photo shortly and provide you with some answers.
  19. Keith Black
    Oh yeah, and exactly when is that gonna happen?
  20. Keith Black
    I bought mine from Cornwall Model Boats in England but for a few you would want to buy from someone here in the US.
  21. Keith Black
    Ben, buy a few extra because they will occasionally shoot off into the nether regions of you work area never to be seen or heard from again.
  22. Keith Black
    Ben, you can use walnut stain on boxwood blocks and deadeyes. See post 294 and 297.
  23. Keith Black
    Steve, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.
  24. Keith Black
    Glen, did you use up all that fine screen you bought?
  25. Keith Black
    I cut squares matching the port dimensions from blue tape and applied them to where I wanted the port openings to be. I then used an Exacto knife with a chisel blade (see photo) and small hammer to cut out around the tape. It's a slow process and it required a good quantity of blades but it worked. Always practice on a scrap piece of wood first.

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.
