    Keith, you kept referring to a "ice bridge" and I wasn't sure but I thought you might mean a "flying bridge". A lot of ships carried flying bridges including the Tennessee and they were permanent structures. Why do you think they would assemble/dismantle at certain points in the voyage?

    Valeriy, magnificent work as always. Question, I know there's a reason but why are there three portals on the starboard side and only two on the port side? TYIA.

    Wieslaw, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.
  4. Keith Black
    Work safe, Bob. See you back soon!

    Ah, the joys of fuzzy teenagers. Simon, enjoy their kittenness while you can and post some photos of the little buggers.
  6. Keith Black
    Sorry, Bob. And if Bob isn't right I'm gonna go ahead and schedule that lobotomy my wife and doctor have been pushing.
  7. Keith Black
    Mike, let us know how that saw works out for you.

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

    Last I was there (the original building) the wait time could be as long as 45 minutes to an hour. Well worth the wait. I think the original building was a hardware/feed store but that was 50 years ago so that might be iffy.

    Isn't that the truth, it's absolutely amazing.

    It's grown some since I lived there in the early 70's. Tioga, Texas, the birthplace of Gene Autry and home of Clark's Barbecue. "see it and get bored with it" Absolutely not, never.

    Brian, you might be able to find a place to display the Cairo in the bustling megatropolis of Tioga.
  13. Keith Black
    Brian, when you finally finish you could have photocopies of the images showing the internal details displayed alongside/with the Cairo. Some of my favorite remembrances of your Cairo build are the engine room with the boilers and engines.

    Pat, what's crazy is there is as much hidden detail as there is the obvious.

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

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

    Brian, fantastic and I do mean fantastic work! The bell and flag locker are super nice and the padlocks are ingenious.

    Your bulkhead measurement of I = 90.5mm, the plan measurement is 98mm. That's a little more than a quarter of an inch difference. Does your earlier bulkhead measurements the full width of bulkhead edge to edge? Is the 7.5mm difference in the two I measurements because of the keel width?
  19. Keith Black
    That looks great, Richard.
  20. Keith Black
    Dave, I added up your measurements for each bulkhead and the only way the totals make sense (to me at least) is for G and H to be swapped. Or am I completely off my rocker? What does G measure on the plans?
  21. Keith Black
    Dave, is it possible to remove the filler blocks?
  22. Keith Black
    As kids we blew up more nonsense with black powder, empty Old Spice deodorant stick tubes, and a car battery. When I did my stint at Camp Lejeune AIT I loved the explosive training class and playing with C-4. One man's terrorist is another man's Marine.
  23. Keith Black
    Nice!

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

    Sometimes a thumbs up just doesn't cut it, we need a "cool" emoji

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.
