Hi Vince Looking very classy if you dont mind me saying. Looking ahead a bit, are you thinking of fitting some Mast Heel's. I have ordered some but I will see what they look like first. Denis.

Hi All Just done the main deck planking. The walnut planking in the kit is a bit dark. I have bleached them for 30min's and washed them for an hour in running water. Glued to the deck and sanded them down, but the bleach did not go through all of the wood. I put one coat of varnish on and I have now got a zillion colours. I do like this as it looks weathered.

Hi Bindy In answer to your problem with plank lengths on the decks of your HMS Surprise. You said the planks are 24 foot long and the HMS Surprise is a scale of 1:75. This is in feet and inches. 12 divide 75 = 0.1600 24 feet x 0.1600 = 3.84 inches 3.84 inches = 97.536mm 97.536mm is your deck plank lengths you can round it off to 97.5mm. I hope this helps you or others. Denis.

Hi All Sorry this has nothing to do with Model Ship Building. But it's my log. It is 100 years on the 25th April of the Gallipoli Campaign WW1. I would like to ask all people no matter what country they live in or came from or your religion you are. Can we all put aside any differences we all have just for one minute and HONOUR them brave men and woman that gave up their lives so we all can live today. R.I.P to you all you will never ever be forgotten. Denis.

Hi Visi Thank you so much for them words. Long time no talk my friend. Sorry you cannot see it in detail. But to give you some idea you can see 2 sets of doors ie 4 in all ( baby poo brown as you call it ha ha ). The gap between the 2 sets of doors was painted with a brush that has 2 hairs on it ( the paint was just about drying before I could get it on ). Bit of a pain to do. Denis.

Hi Keith I have tried feeding it slow and fast but the metal still melts. As for using liquid soap good idea but I am not sure about that as the window panes are only 2mm x 3mm or less and I will not see where I am cutting. I could end up milling the glazing bars off. I will give it a go on the next one. As for photos we will see ha ha. Denis .

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.
