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

    Very nice and very believable.

    Eberhard, I can't wait to see this addition. I've toyed with the idea of crew in my 1:120 build and have been stumped by lack of off the shelf figures and my inability to make believable figures. But if there is anyone that can pull if off, it's you. Absolutely beautiful/impressive work thus far.

    I'm in!

    Paul, if you go to post #848 in my build log you'll see a Tung Woo lantern I purchased and a breakdown of the lantern and burner.

    Chris, we can tell from your past work that you're more than capable to build Halinski kits with success. Keep plugging away, I'm sure you'll get there.

    Paul, the Starboard and Port lanterns were tied to the shrouds as Pat stated in his post. The Masthead lantern was hoisted into position forward of the Foremast on a four point contact. The Stern lantern could have been gimbaled or tied in a fixed position. Because of the way lantern burners were designed oil spillage was most unlikely and if it did it would have been contained inside the lantern body.

    Paul, not all ships that used steam were ornate. Navies of the world once committed to the use of steam didn't produce what I'd call 'ornate' ships. The work ethic and pride of one's work of that time period produced a vessel far more pleasing to the eye compared to todays ships, IMHO.

    If you don't mind me asking, what's going on with Bob?

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

    Pat, right you are. Stern lamp, Masthead lamp, Port and Starboard lamps were all required on all US steam ships traveling at night from the 1855/60ish time period onward. I'm not sure about the poor visibility lighting requirements and if that applied to all sailing vessels. I'm sure I read the requirements regarding such but that's been more than five minutes ago. Hey, don't you have a walkabout stick that you can use to beat some of those gators off?
  12. Keith Black
    Funny you should ask, Paul.

    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.

    There are several Soleil Royal build logs, see the link below. https://modelshipworld.com/search/?q=Soleil Royal&quick=1

    Chris, it looks great. It's one of those 'you'll be the only one to notice' details.
  16. Keith Black
    Sigbjorn, Welcome to MSW. Glad have you aboard.
  17. Keith Black
    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?
  18. Keith Black
    64P, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.
  19. Keith Black
    CP, welcome to MSW. It looks like your current build is coming along nicely. Glad to have you aboard.
  20. Keith Black
    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.
  21. Keith Black
    Congratulations, Hakan.
  22. Keith Black
    Eamon, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.
  23. Keith Black
    William, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

    Beautiful hull, Gary.
  25. Keith Black
    As do I.

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.
