Nice choice, something French. They did make some lovely shaped vessels I wonder what the price will be from Micromaster when they deliver to Europe in comparison to Shapeways

Good to hear you are seeing the light. The rower's hairdresser isn't very creative ...

You must be thirlled not to be building up a tripple AA gun for Yamato or Musashi Nice work on the PE. Great spraying booth, got some width there!

Well there is part of your answer. I would expect the keel to take shape from the fin towards the stern, where it supports the rudder. Which implies there won't be much of a keel. Although, the Open Boat covers skiffs, the keel part holds for 17th century warships too. There is hardly any - I would almost go so far as to state there is none, compared to the bulk of the ship - and what could be defined as keel is most prominent at the stern.

look in "the open boat" page 109 photo 9e. Does she have a fin you can lift? - pg 120 and further photo 11 b, c, & h or go to chapter 14 - pg 148. I've never seen Karoo, so it is more or less guessing from this side of the globe

Very well done, another beautiful build RGL. Will there be something to build left ... ?

Good choice, one of the IJN ships I have on my list. I like the pagoda like style of the superstructure from most of the IJN ships. Although this one doesn't have that. You seem to be well on your way

Do you make German WWII fighter pilots too? Impressive to see how you make from such a bulky bloke a dromon rower

When you talk about a lot of sail and a shallow boat ... (can't recall where I found these images on the net)

Mascotte has regular and King Size ... yes they do. You might want to have a look for King Size if you have to stick together a lot of regular paper to get to make an awning.

You don't want to get a frontal accident, as you shall end up with the engine in your lap, entry at the driver's side is quite definite as well. But why always be safe, living on the edge gives a nice kick ... Modern Citroëns, yes, but what has got that to do with these tin cans ... Don't get me wrong, I do love these ducks, my second car is an Austin Mini Van, a lot faster, and not much safer! Driving these cars really gives you the feeling you are driving!

Well done, it has been a most enjoyable, and instructive journey. Thanks for sharing. A big beautiful build!

Then you have another option left ... Brian Eno: Thursday Afternoon. But you will need some time to get anywhere ...

You could use the music from Thijs van Leer to get them moving fluidly You really have pulled all the stoppers on your rowers, nice burly lot so far, I see you have a couple of twins too

That's what he has been trying to it seems. It seems there is a fellow walking the deck with a cat 'o nine tails. You should take more care Steven - look who's talking ... I cut my thumb on my Byrnes table saw last weekend 😮

Bob, that is why I don't use Vallejo airbush varnishes as I wrote in the beginning of this thread. On my ship builds I have restricted myself to Vallejo rattlecan varnishes, and AK airbrush varnish on the airplanes I've built. I've used the airbrush varnishes from vallejo after the first faillure only with a brush !!

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.
