    Only if cooked right, I wonder if you know howto ... "Dummies book for fowl cooking" ... that doesn't diminish the fact it is still FOUL play!
  2. cog
    Thanks Greg. Still a long way to go. Currently remodelling the forard superstructure, a.o. the bridge. I won't be able to get her all the way into Glowworm, but I'll try to. Rangefinder and it's control are up ... alternated by some mind blowing PE ... the grill on the funnels, one down, one to go ... although a bit early in the build, I suddenly started to put some antifowling red on the deck ...
  3. cog
    3D printed bollards, and fairleads (on the stern) vs those default on the kit (forcastle deck)
  4. cog
    Hmmm, you went behind my back, that's fowl play!!!
  5. cog
    So you can't join in the fun !!!

    Well Greg, it seems you need parental conscent ... did you ask your wife to join, and take you by the hand ...

    Couldn't recall where I read the measurement information, but now you gave the title ... it all falls back into place .. I've got the same book! There is a wealth of information in it, a lot of joinery which is fascinating - at least I find it so - sliding doors, moon doors, lattice work, garden fences ... Pitty the book is OOP for those interested.
  8. cog
    Wrong!!!!!!! you gotta buy a kit an' update set (vely expsive, don't join! teasing plohibited)
  9. cog
    I'll follow at a safe distance ... if you do not mind ... even if you did

    geisha ...? someone needs to poor the liquid when the hands become unsteady ... to spill is a sin ...
  11. cog
    the details you added are very fine. Haven't seen such very often on kit builds. Well done
  12. cog
    You gents seem to forget those are Japanese subs ...
  13. cog
    it's the one I'm building. I will do the Huron too. I wanted to do a G class but could't find a kit. should have looked under tribal class At the start I didn't yet know which one to build, then Lou came up with the Glowworm ... what can I say ... I'm a sucker for underdogs
  14. cog
    Gawd, that sub must be the cleanest in the fleet OC ... and spoiled rooten for all the rubbin' she's gotten so far!!
  15. cog
    Following kit instructions ... you call that fun ... ? So far there has been one challenge: Getting the hull plating to show at this scale. Before that,:To glue or not to glue ... now ripping things up, and adding components, makes it start to look almost like a scratch build a bit of a basratch build It starts to cool down - I know Greg: Tain't 'alf 'ot 'ere - so tonight I'll get my rattle can of flat varnish out and give Vendetta and the two Japanese subs a coat. After drying, the subs get a gloss coating on their balast tanks to make them look whet-ish for some realism when I get on a diorama ... I'm visualising palmtrees , a sandy bay, white beaches, tropical drinks ........ and two moored subs ... whats wrong in this picture

    Again thanks for the likes and the comments! CLeared the deck with the molds to stick the platform on. primed a couple of parts, funnels, base of the forard "super"structure, 4.7" guns (inside, and bottom), replaced the bollards, and fairleads. I'll try tomake a picture with the difference kit vs detail up. I'll need to build a searchlight tower, and change the bridge's rear section. Going to have some fun ... that's for certain
  17. cog
    (For Lou ) Bringing the aft raised gun platform into proportions for Glowworm ... (glad I have two of this kit, so I can mess up ) ripping it up .. Putting it back together again ...
  18. cog
    You meant whip, of course, from a whipping with yer fathres belt Strange but effective setup Piet. Look forward as to how you will finish it ...
  19. cog
    Thank you gents, for the likes, and your positive feeds ... those keep me going for another day
  20. cog
    and you wouldn't want to disappoint me ... naturally ... you did, as usual, trigger my curiosity though ... cannot wait for the sequel on the bridge's decorations
  21. cog
    Don't drag, use the bin icon on the image itself. Very nice, and crisp detail. You really did a wonderful job there
  22. cog
    You have a strange building streak by keeping us in suspense ... you know what happens with cunning plans ...
  23. cog
    Piet, He means the colour scheme from 1942 to 1944 ... ( ) It really does make a vast difference, Greg, so much better. Is it a tripod mast?
  24. cog
    Would that be logical ... It is odd as they seem to be the result of the mezza lune technique. But how would you make a fluent hull shape if you did use them ...
  25. cog
    Must be a skinny person ...

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.
