    Rusty I feel your pain. The good side is you get to enjoy the process again.

    I go back to my Technical side, if you call it out in the procedure, put it in the box. Builders will want it and having it as an add on upgrade will only add time to the build and possible frustration on the builders part if they want it and you are out of stock. I would just up the price and sell it as a complete kit.

    Welcome to MSW.

    Well if it sinks it will be historically accurate. 🤗

    I’m thinkin’ you need to build the Syren so I can steal so more great techniques. Your Rattlesnake is a true work of art. BZ Ken.

    I have finished my plate jig and am getting ready to punch plates. Has anyone a count on approximately how many plates per side?

    Acronyms mean different things in different places. FAA means Federal Aviation Administration over here. Back in the 70’s my ship pulled into Portsmouth for Liberty. A bunch of our sailors where drinking as sailors do and bragging about being members of the IRA. It got REAL quiet and a bunch of the local folk were getting really pissed. One of the sailors asked what the problem was with being a member of the IRA and showed them his International Rodeo Association belt buckle never realizing that IRA in Britain was a totally different thing.

    Welcome to the Forum Jim. What is FAA? I get the RN (Royal Navy). I’m also retired, served 25 years in the USN and live in Bremerton Washington. You will enjoy this group.

    And just in time for the Holidays.

    The Model Shipways Virginia Armed Sloop comes with that stand. Their is a Practicum available for that kit.

    Your hull looks good. I always paint or copper my bottom hulls. You could apply a paper thin strip of cherry and feather it in , varnish it and it would look great. On a real ship keels were always nicked and dented so don’t worry about that.
  18. Jim Rogers
    Don't forget to flux both sides.
  19. Jim Rogers
    I solder mine after having the same frustration.
  20. Jim Rogers
    I would agree. The Syren has a great instruction booklet and you will learn many skills with this kit and end up with a great looking model.
  21. Jim Rogers
    Do you have any photos of the issue?
  22. Jim Rogers
    Nuestra Señora de Atocha 1622 Spanish with the ornate stern carvings, Syren style instructions. I would pay $500 to $750 for a quality model.
  23. Jim Rogers
    Syren Shipbuilding has wooden cleats in various sizes.

    I was going to ask about the coppering jig too but you beat me to it.

    Bob I am 67 so I so understand that. Getting real good at working in Braille.

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.
