"Sand Pebbles" motor Sampan from 1966 movie
Keith Black replied to JRB's topic in Nautical/Naval History
John, welcome to MSW. I would love to attempt to make a model of the San Pablo but alas, there's not enough sand left in the glass. I wish you well in your search for plans. If you're successful I hope you'll start a build log. -
Siggi, that is absolutely beautiful. The painter's definitely need a raise and an extra ration of grog!

Upgrade kit for 1/200 scale Mikasa pre-dreadnought model
Keith Black replied to Cal123's topic in Plastic model kits
Cal, my apologies. Had I know about the poor business practices of Freetime Hobbies I obviously would never have provided the link. I'm very glad you were able to source your upgrade kit elsewhere. Hopefully one of the NRG staff will see this and add Freetime Hobbies to the bad source list. -
Brian, my deepest sympathies to your wife, her family, and to you. The Cairo is looking top notch in every way, you're doing an amazing job modeling her.

Bob, welcome to MSW. I hope your cataract surgery goes well, being able to see well is the greatest asset in modeling.

Iraymo, it matters not that you're a woman, what matters is that you have the desire to learn the hobby. It makes it that much more special that you are a woman in that we need more women involved in the hobby. Here at MSW/NGR there are no ceilings or boundaries, you can fly as high and far as YOU want to. I'm looking forward to your Pram build and hopefully more to follow. Doris, one of our female members is absolutely amazing, here is the link to her build of the Royal Katherine.

Painted Military Figures by Roger Pellett
Keith Black replied to Roger Pellett's topic in Completed non-ship models
Roger, they look great. Do you apply a protective coating after painting? -
Iraymo, congratulation! I am so very proud for you, a wonderful job on your first build. I hope you have a prominent place to display her, she deserves it.

Hello from sunny Southern California
Keith Black replied to boatsNbeers's topic in New member Introductions
Dan, welcome to MSW/NGR. I look forward to seeing your first build log. -
Trond, the deck looks great. Color is a personal choice but I like the natural finish you have on the right. Because of the tarred standing rigging and the tar being transferred to the decks on the soles of the sailors shoes, ship captains would periodically have the decks "holy stoned" with seawater. That plus the bleaching of the sun would make one think that decks were a worn natural color.

Markus, welcome to MSW. Looking forward to your J Class build log. -
Please post a picture of the rope next to the hole, I'd like to see the two sizes side by side. We'll get this figured out.

Iraymo, you could try drilling out the holes to a larger size. You would want to test drill on a piece of scrap first to see if the "rope" will pass through. You can also try gluing the rope to a piece of wire or whatever that will pass through the hole taking the rope with it.

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.
