    Hard to believe that mighty things come from that little space. Thank you for posting photos of your shop, Valeriy.

    Uwe Schmidt, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

    Men don't need flushies.............. Microwave? Can't forget the microwave. I'd throw in a recliner just in case you got snowed in.

    Enjoy!

    I tend toward the tan to mid brown colors but hey, that's why they make chocolate and vanilla. There's only one person that it needs to please and that's you! Now you're going to have a heater/AC and paneling making you feel all cozy.......are you putting a recliner and a TV out there too?

    Jackie, the eyelets/eyepins appear to be too big, IMHO. The eyelet ID is the same size as the deck plank width, it just doesn't look right. Were I you, I'd remove the eyelets, purchase or make new eyelets more to scale, sand the deck surface, fill if required, and paint/stain to match. If you change to a smaller eyelet size you'll have to drill new holes. You have to use a pen vise to drill, practice on scrape till you get a feel for how much pressure can be applied to drill a hole without snapping a drill. When you chuck the drill in the pen vise make sure you keep the drill length short. Too long and sure as heck you'll snap it.

    Too funny and way too true, Brian. I'm not a big fan of paneling but the paneling you're using is interesting. If paneling was my only option I would certainly consider using it. If it was a bit lighter I'd be all over it.

    Thank you for your service, Mark. From a former Marine.

    I searched around, nada.

    I hope it works out, James. If it doesn't you have other options.

    I'm not looking for thimbles, I was just trying to help James locate available stock. You send CS a email, you're the one who raised their hand saying "Crafty Sailor has small thimbles"

    Mark, so sorry to hear about the water leak but thankful your ships were saved. Strange to have a pipe burst this time of year, that usually happens in winter when it's an even worse mess to deal with.

    I tried finding them on their site and couldn't. I see a "we have new product" message from 2021 but when you click on the thimble picture you go to a blank screen. I went to fittings and no thimbles are listed. Please provide a link that leads to thimbles for sale.

    James, Cornwall Model Boats in the UK has the size you're looking for in stock. The only rub is they have a $50.00 order min so you'll need to add something else along with the thimbles. https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?WD=thimble&PN=36700-Thimble-2.5mm--Pack-of-10--36700.html#SID=67

    Redneck flood insurance.
  20. Keith Black
    Mark, could those be rubbing strakes?
  21. Keith Black
    Very nice, it's looking great.
  22. Keith Black
    Looks good, Sal. Glad it worked out.

    Dave, I'm not a carver so I can't give you any qualified advise but this MSW link below is for a highly touted set of Russian tools. I have no clue as to how the war has affected being able to order a set.

    Congratulations, Greg! Not only congratulations for completing a beautiful model of a mundane work boat but also congratulations for the Gold and Best of Show awards. Well deserved indeed.

    Congratulations, Bob. It's always grand when our mates enjoy the fruits of our labor.

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.
