Thank you very much for your greetings. I'm sorry I didn't answer them all to save space. My mother left, but I was taught from an early age that "to do everything in my power" was the greatest treasure of my life. Thank you again for your concern! -

A few days ago, the old mother unfortunately died of illness, stop work for nearly a week to take care of the funeral. Yesterday I returned to the studio from my grief to continue my project. Emotionally, it may be a little slow, but I am committed to my goal of finishing my work within the year. Thank you for your encouragement and attention. I won't let you down. -

Hello, Johann. Thank you for your attention. I was so impressed with the design and craftsmanship of Master Ed Tosti that I gave up on the other project and finished it first. But due to the limitations of the Internet, I can't see any more details. More often than not, I can't open a web page and give a timely response. I hope you can give me more guidance and criticism, so I can do better. Thank you! -

Hi, Michael. I think I should start by thanking EDT for the near-perfect design drawings and process. When I first saw it, I couldn't resist the urge to make it! For this reason I gave up my previous plan and went all out to build it. This ship has given me the opportunity to show off, and also let me know more friendly friends from all over the world. I hope to be able to finish it in high quality within the year. Thank you for your encouragement and attention! -

Hello, wefalck. I haven't seen your handsome face in my posts for a long time. As with my work, the studio is as clean as ever and all the tools are stacked in an orderly fashion. That's how I roll. Show everyone is a good side, behind the experience of countless failures and hardships. I'm sure you've been there. Good luck in the New Year! -

Today is the Spring Festival, a traditional Chinese festival. Happy New Year to all the world! Our shared interests have brought us closer together, and I wish you all the best in the face of this epidemic. I never stopped making it. Hope that through their efforts can do better, put their best work in front of everyone. Thank you for your support! -

Yes, you're absolutely right. It's not my style to copy or copy someone else's way of making things. -

The simulated stiffener is made of brass, blackened before laying, and a little glue is applied at the joints to prevent displacement. However, it is still inevitable that part of the process of separation and wear, which needs to be repaired in the post-production details. -

Thank you, Greg. Metal has a texture and sharpness that no other material can match; it's like polishing a perfectly polished surface so that even a tiny scratch can stand out. No matter what color it is, it still shows.☺️ -

Yes, I made many clamps just for the hull. After milling with 304 stainless steel screw (thickness 1.0-1.2 mm) , the rib can be inserted into the place of very small spacing. -

Hi Gunther MT. Because without the rivet holes, it's hard to see the assembled modules. Its function is only to reflect the split structure, water tanks hidden below the deck, do not need too much energy to pursue the above rivets, after all, its cap diameter is only 0.3, the maximum size of the raised plate must not be greater than 0.05-0.08, must be round head. It's a hard job, and I think it's a pyrrhic victory. So I cut a hole in it to show it. Of course, if it's above deck, I'll try to be as specific as possible.

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.
