    Thank you very much Dan. Amsterdam was very enjoyable and pretty with the light covering of snow. I was lucky to find a very nice hotel not far from Centraal station and close to the maritime museum which was very interesting. I am a bit of a disappointment, I prefer the maritime museum over the Van Gogh museum. The delay meant I missed my visits to Warsaw and Krakow. The good news was I arrived in Berlin in time to say goodbye to my friends who are moving to Japan in three weeks time. And in the uk my dad seems much better than I hoped alan

    The train was two minutes late getting into Berlin and very comfortable. I was amazed at the chaos in Amsterdam, Paris and Brussels considering that the snowfall was moderate and the temperatures not far from freezing. Lack of deicer was mentioned. Berlin was seriously cold but the public transport worked and my first flight to Manchester was bang on time. Then I had the next flight from Frankfurt cancelled, eventually reaching Manchester at midnight and my cousins at 3am. I picked up the rental car and due to a car crash on the motorway I took six hours for a two hour journey. Feeling seriously victimized at this point but the great news was finding my dad much better than I expected. He’s trotting around the house with his stick and doing very well. Just got to keep him away from high shelves. Dan, sorry for hijacking the thread alan

    Another beautiful car Rob despite the setbacks you did a great job. Congratulations alan

    And most of my cold weather gear was in my bag that KLM has mislaid. Primark men’s floor on Damrak was full of similar folk fighting over the last medium and large clothing sizes in the store 😃

    Sorry to see disaster strike with such a beautiful model nearly finished. Congratulations on already working the recovery. Alan

    Absolutely beautiful Bulldog Dan. The finish is immaculate and realistic too. Great work. after five days stuck in Amsterdam because of the snow, flights cancelled at Schiphol and NS trains cancelled for days Im finally on my way to Berlin where the weather is also due to deteriorate. I got to know Amsterdam a bit better though alan

    Hi Mike The tweezers look pretty good. They are nice and thin at the tips so easy to slide under delicate PE. Nicely made I look forward to trying them. I bought some nice looking fine point tweezers off eBay a while back but they turned out to be some off brand instead of the brand name in the description. They are okay but the points are very thick and clumsy so they don’t get used a lot. Happy New Year alan

    I seem to have been very slothful during the Christmas period with not much getting done on Monmouth. I added a slightly darker wash in the shadows of the waves and painted a coat of gloss medium over the whole thing. I’m still undecided about the overall color being too light and I thought the gloss might help me decide. I’m tempted to start adding the wave crests and foam and see how it shapes up. I’ve been looking for the bag of teddy bear stuffing that I used for my Flower corvette but I can’t find it anywhere so Ive ordered more. I’m writing this sitting in Atlanta airport waiting for the flight to Manchester. I will be in Europe for three weeks so no progress until later in January. Happy New Year all alan

    Oh with all this flat rate shipping stuff I had to make it worthwhile. So a few more DSPIAE bits join the tool chest. New cutting mat, angled tweezers and rolling tool along with the Vice which is very nice, another one may go on the new year shopping list. I’m impressed with the quality of the tools, they look like they will last. Happy Christmas alan

    Thanks Andrew, I’m beginning to think that I might have bitten off more than I can chew but it will be interesting. Happy Christmas and a joyous New Year alan

    Thanks very much OC, I hope you have an enjoyable and peaceful Christmas. alan

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.
