    When paper or board are not acid-free, the lignin mix with cellulose and hemicellulose will oxidized with the following consequences : Loss in brightness ; Loss in strenght. The time required to degrade these material are dependant of : UV exposition or Sun light exposition ; O2 exposition. So the time is materials dependants in is % of lignin and the principal variables cited. Michel

    Hi, Let me the permission to ask one question here please : I read some complaint on Amazon about the FET. DId you used the old or the new version of it ? I think the fence and the plastic quality are questionned. In Canada, the Byrnes option is really a high impact on the budget, but FEt is an affordable solution. But, I am still hesistate for it. Thanks, Michel

    I have a AL Bounty on the shelve. When my Belem will be finished, your built will be a reference for me. Your picture are well done and exposed much detail. Thanks you for your contribution. Michel

    Thanks, Yes I have the proxxon, but I received it after doing the masts. I will try it with the next built : The Belem. Michel
  27. Michel L.
    Thanks you for the tip and the encouragement. Michel
  28. Michel L.
    Sorry. How do I mark the header with Finished statement ?
  29. Michel L.
    HI, This project is finished. A real pain. The plans are not so easy to decrypted for a first time build. A lot of mistake that I hope I will do not repeat on the Belem. The sail are too stiff. Difficult to plied. An error to to one flag ... it is inverted ! LOL! I said to my grandson that I will ended it tomorrow. He has 5 years old. He is bright. He said me that tomorrow there is no school ! I understand the message. Well. My nuild is not to be prsent as a model for other newbies, but I like to discover this new hobby. Thanks for eveyone who he

    The desk showed by Joe is wonderful, however there is no sufficient space under the desk with the drawers. Also, I do not think, based on the picture showed, that there is sufficient space in the width between the left and the right part of the desk for a wheel chair or something like that. Electric Adjusting working table cost a lot. If you can it will be the best. Just take care that the entire structure is stable (foot legs). Michel

    I agree with Gaetan Bordeleau. My wife is tetraplegic, I the best thing for her is an electric table or an informatic kind desk with 30 " height (on top). You need around 28 " under desk if you are on wheel chair. This work well for her : https://www.bureauengros.com/products/636145-fr-safcomd-bureau-dordinateur-a-surface-reversible-48-po DOn't forget something like a plate that can help you turning your build around or clamping keel like the Amati one that can do the same (turning the build). You can use also wall mounted hucht over the desk like this one Prepac

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.
