    Nice, although, I have the distinct impression that some of the trees in that wood are a lot thinner than provided in the kit ...?

    After today's toiling ... replacement of gun platform forard superstructure Oh, darn. Again ... no paintball for downunder ... just boaring scratch building, and updates, sorry RGL, you'll have to wait a bit longer ... so much to do, so little time to do it in. ... tomorrow ... work ... maybe not as usual, although it starts to feel like it !

    Ah, you saved the day ... spinning cordage .. so when your out of it you start to purr (a joke for the Dutch: spinning is Dutch but alos used for purring, and a.o. twining)
  7. cog
    Really ... do you do small??? (i.e. besides that 1/500 build of yours)
  8. cog
    (I see you're still in Zuid-Holland ... profile) A mere 160 blocks ... I had expected far more than that on such a ship

    Should anyone ... especially in a gale ... but those ladders are not so much different than the ratlines on a 74, I wouldn't fancy climbing those either, and to be honest, the forard mast will be a single "pipe" (the only way I have seen it depicted in photographs, so no tripod) ... and to help you up for maintenance, OC, with a ladder, which I for one certainly wouldn't climb!

    Aye, so much better ... Eureka ... that happens once every while ... You have made some great progress blinging things up. When you look at it, the barrels are not really a challenge, neither a vast improvement, but the additional, undelivered pieces, e.g. the hatches at the back of the turrets, you use, to finish it,make it complete ... the cherry on the pie. Marvelous

    on the tripod ... those are ladders, from a "spare" PE set of Musashi, if I'm not mistaken ... a lot more where that came from
  12. cog
    Where ... nope, those are pipes mate, those funnel gards are worse ... a lot if you do not hav a steady hand
  13. cog
    Now it really is a production line cigar tube ... You picked up spraying rather well OC .. a sterady hand, I like the result ... a lot
  14. cog
    Todays harvest, a bit of CA-ing bling ... (replaced the IJN watertight doors with RN type)
  15. cog
    shouldn't make much of a difference with the exchange rates banks charge ...
  16. cog
    Summertime ... and the livin' is easy ... Fish are jumpin' ... now I expect a whole lot more mr butts!!
  17. cog
    a ton of concrete
  18. cog

    Jack, I do not know the size of your grommets, but could you use a small drill like this to flare them:
  21. cog
    You have come a long way from that crashed starting point, Michael. I wonder ... would she look even better than before the crash ... (shouldn't surprise me if she does)
  22. cog
    That's a better way OC
  23. cog
    bluetack, two small dots on the bottom with some thin wooden sticks in it
  24. cog
    Quite an improvement OC. Hope your rattlecan turns up soon

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.
