    Trivia question #2..... Why is there a "Poop Deck?"
  12. texxn5
    Trivia question of the day..... "Why is there a crescent moon cut into the door of an Outhouse?"

    a couple of more....sorry for the focus, my camera seems to be acting up and it's so smart I may have to watch the DVD to figure out what's wrong....

    I've done a little work on the head. This was fun. The plans show it as just a structure......but I improvised and included the hole and I will leave the door open so you can see inside. All I have to do is mount it to the ship and finish the door.......then "The Outhouse " is complete.

    Hi Dave, thank you, it's good to be back to work. I'm glad you like the solder iron. Mine is the least expensive Micro Mark one. I've had it for a while now, and this is the first time I've used it. I love it. It's like instant heat at the joint and it only heats the joint. It has a ground clip (cumbersome) a carbon tip on the iron, and a foot switch for powering on and off. Frees up the hands for working. You need the solder pad, and their solder and flux that they sell to make it work right. I highly recomend for metal work.

    Hi RWS, I think you read Cosmo's mind......seems to be what he's thinking....

    Hello Sjors, I just saw the weather and it showed a hurricane going into the UK, you'll probably get part of it too.....hope all is well for you and Anja, and be safe. You will get to experience what we deal with in Texas and Piet experiences in Florida. They aren't fun. However we used to stock up on beer and go to the strongest house in the neighborhood and have a "Hurricane Party" until they would pass through.....helps one to weather the storm....Be safe....

    Hi Piet, yes, back to building some again.....the fire hydrant is giant scale compared to Cosmo....he definitely needs one scaled to him....he usually has no problem marking everything with a different smell.....ha

    Thanks Bob....lot's to go, glad to be back......
  21. texxn5
    Thanks Popeye.....good to be back.
  22. texxn5
    Hi Augie, yes, the deck is really going to fill up.....in fact there will be very little you can see once everything is done.....lot's of work yet!
  23. texxn5

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.
