    See @FriedClams (Gary) build. link below, page 13, post 387. Some clutter but not so much that it detracts from the model.

    Welcome to MSW, glad to have you aboard.
  3. Keith Black
    Please

    Please tell her 'welcome to SIBSPC' (SIB Suggestion Probationary Club) and that 2025 isn't that far off.

    Andrew, so sorry to hear that Belle passed away. Our little furry children are as much a part of families and lives as the humans, it's a tremendous loss and my heart goes out to you. Then on top of that to have a heart attack. ☹️ I hope your recovery continues to go well, welcome back. Keith

    I've said before that the Kraken was my favorite till you built the Lost Jenny but now I think I'll be changing my favorite yet again. That's some great stuff right there, Glen.

    I don't wanna see funnel smoke that badly, Glen. May I suggest Raid as a SIB friendly alternative?

    Welcome, glad to have you aboard.

    Not much carrying capacity in the ship's boats, Glen. You might, might be able to crowd three wee black ants aboard if they all hold their breath. They look sharp.
  10. Keith Black
    Looks fishy to me.
  11. Keith Black
    hear, hear

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

    Yes, congratulations on completing a difficult build, Chris.

    Amazing that you were able to paint in that much detail at that scale, Eberhard. I was spending three plus hours per figure trying to paint in detail and in the end I was very displeased with my efforts. My hat is off to you for succeeding.

    https://www.shapeways.com/product/KVS8JDNSF/six-1-32-scale-vickers-machine-guns?optionId=301091122&li=marketplace https://www.shapeways.com/product/A94KRLFCL/two-1-30-vickers-machine-guns?optionId=299287528&li=marketplace https://www.shapeways.com/marketplace?type=product&q=1%3A33+vickers+gun I searched Shapeways for Vickers sight and they have one that about the size of the model so I came up dry on the sight but they do have vickers guns. Chris, I don't know if any of the above will work for you? Being 3D resin they're probably more robust than paper and adding a sight might be easier on one of them because they are 3D resin?

    Roel, your detail work is just incredible. Each update leaves me shaking my head in admiration.
  17. Keith Black
    Gnomer isn't as dumb as he looks. For those that enjoy making ship's boats, God bless you. I'm with Bob, a hard pass thank you very much. 3D resin ship's boats sounds lovely. Bob, the King is looking really good!
  18. Keith Black
    Well, duh. I didn't post the link, sorry.

    Simon, I dare say it was the length of the steam box that controlled plank length more so than tree height. I think 24' would have been the limit in plank length?
  20. Keith Black
    And a lovely home she is, thank you for sharing. If you don't mind me asking, where's home port?
  21. Keith Black
    Micha, I disagree. Please view the below as Leo (Sampson Boat Co) planks the Tally Ho. (I highly recommend watching the entire series.) There are videos of them planking the deck, both are nothing short of perfection. I've watched other wooden boat builds on YouTube where the builders are making near perfect vessels. Now, maybe one doesn't often or ever see perfection in glass hulls coming off a factory floor but one off wooden hull boats is a different critter. Keith

    Rick, I'd appreciate seeing photos of your home on the water unless that's invading your privacy. Truly wonderful work on the steam engine, thank you for posting.
  23. Keith Black
    The hull looks great.
  24. Keith Black
    Bob, I really like the stairs, they turned out well.
  25. Keith Black
    Wonderful! Rick, do you live on a narrowboat? If so I'm envious.

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.
