    Richard, I use poly and like it a lot. I find it hard to tell the difference between satin and gloss. i've always used a brush and am happy with the results. I don't see the need to remove the bolts, the poly would provide a layer of rust prevention IMHO.

    Chris, it looks great. It's one of those 'you'll be the only one to notice' details.

    Tom, are you going to add the spars off model? What I can see looks great, I wish you could figure out how to enlarge your photos. What camera are you using?

    CP, welcome to MSW. It looks like your current build is coming along nicely. Glad to have you aboard.

    Sascha, if I may. The distance between the foot ropes and the yard should be waist high. Your figure indicates that there is too much distance between the foot ropes and the yard.

    Thank you, Brian. I wish I was that confident. Thank you, Pat. A lot of the weight will be lifted when she can get out of her chair by herself and not have to depend on a walker. Thank you, mcb. Thank you, Mark. Your prayers are needed more than anything else and it means the world to me that you would do so. Thank you, Rick. Thank you, Eric. Thank you, Andy. Maggie's coming home is the next phase in her recovery and an enormous amount of responsibility on myself. It's a daunting task knowing her recovery depends on my efforts. Thank you, Keith for the well wishes and and even more so for the laugh. There's not enough laughter that comes with this primary caregiver's job.

    The dust collected on a glossy surface is much easier to remove than dust on a matte finish......just saying.

    Valeriy, another beauty from your talented hands

    Andy, Andy, Andy. You're gonna have to reinstall the guard on that # 11. The frames are looking spiffy.

    David, welcome to MSW. Were I you I'd wait till I absolutely had to have a stand mounted. In your journey you might discover a different stand that you like better. I'm not impressed with most stands provided by manufactures in their kits. They're usually cheap looking and take away from all the hard work of the builder. You can make a temporary stand out of almost anything till you're sure you want to commit to the stand provided.

    Beautiful work!

    The old saying for pouring an early drink.........."it's 5 o'clock somewhere"

    Your clock needs to be permanently stopped at 5 o'clock.

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.
