    That looks so sweet, Keith.

    BMT, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.
  3. Keith Black
    Gobsmacked.......again.

    Brunel, glad to see you back.

    And each Captain wanted the ship's carpenter to make changes that made them feel more confident in their command of the ship......"that stick of wood over there needs to be over here." Though a Captain's discretion probably occurred more often when it came to the rigging.

    That looks so nice, great photo.

    Great recovery, Grant.
  8. Keith Black
    It really is isn't it, Glen. But I'm thinking, Grant is gonna have a hell of a time finding a bottle big enough.

    Great update, Eric. I hate reading about that relentless heat, you're making my iMac nervous.

    It's hard to get copper plating to look right. This model of the Morgan is the most realistic copper plating that I've seen.

    As far as I'm concerned, ABSOLUTELY! I go on tangents in my Tennessee build, my build log, tangents welcomed. If we don't go on tangents how are we going to get to know our fellow MSW members?
  12. Keith Black
    Treenails?

    Eric, wonderful. What does the original farmstead date to? The only problem with your part of the world is ticks. When I was going to college in Arkansas I came down with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and almost died. Nasty bit of stuff. I look forward to watching this project develop, thank you for starting the log.

    Beautiful work, Dan.
  15. Keith Black
    My pleasure, Simon.

    Simon, this is where you had me going because one foot = 30.48 cm or 304.8 mm. I figured you were trying to convert from 1:10 scale to 1:96 scale but the 30.46 cm figure had me scratching my head.

    Eric, please start a build log in the Shore Leave Forum when you and your stepdad start the kitchen. I love a good timber frame story. What are your timber dimensions? The chairs and table are very nice and the fact that the lumber was milled from the farm is fantastic.
  18. Keith Black
    Bob, congratulations on finding gears.
  19. Keith Black
    Without an eyewitness to the event, a mystery it will always be. We merely guess at what could have been.
  20. Keith Black
    RH, welcome to MSW. As far as I know standing lines never terminated at belaying pins. Glad to have you aboard.
  21. Keith Black
    From the account is sounds like the staff and line were found on the ice? If so, it could have been a safety line run from the ship to trench latrines to hand follow during blizzard conditions?
  22. Keith Black
    Fantastic attention to detail, Brian. Just a gorgeous build.
  23. Keith Black
    Beautiful, Kortes, just beautiful.
  24. Keith Black
    Brilliant, Valeriy.
  25. Keith Black
    Simon, see the below. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scale_model_sizes At 1:96 scale, one foot = .125 inches or 3.175 mm or .3175 cm "1ft is 30.46cm so 10ft is 304.6cm" Simon, I don't understand where these numbers come from?

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.
