    Nice improvements RGL. The rear mast will be in the front, first of the three markers. I drilled out that one at a slight angle. What did you use for the masts?

    Danny, Have a look at RGL's builds too. You ask the questions we'll try to answer or steer you in the right direction ... Cheers

    I've looked plenty, video as well as build logs ... to me there is but one way: Do it. My only concern was whether it would stick (the PE) I find the larger area's to be the hardest. Those tiny parts ... you need to stick em on right since you do not have a lot of time to correct it, but it's fun once you get the hang of it

    Ken, ice cream is churning Danny, I'll try to keep me eyes open. What happened to the research, or is that the cleanin of the workbench ... my clening could be considered thus (oeps)

    Where ... ?

    I ordered a book on the v&w class destroyers, maybe it sheds some light on the matter, we'll know soon enough

    Hmmm, what a bummer, first show the goodies, and then take them away ... OC d'you have a spare hammock, might as well catch some zzzzzzz's

    Very hard not to with this kit. Did they have a very tight budget. The bollards ar impossible to remove, at least as 1 complete part. The masts and other thin parts really need care taking them of so you won't break them. Despite these little irregularities, it still is a nice kit, could do with some work for the price it is sold at.

    Honey Mustard chicken ... PM me the recipe, I'll try it on a small chicken Kind a silently motoring on (electric propulsion?) Quite the parts. I broke the bottom part of the rear pipe on the rear funnel, which will need replacing, and I need to replace the ladder on it as it is far to big. Have some more tidbits to add. to the funnels, before I'm done with them. I see you have a few spare cranes, an' davits, a hidden "pinch torpedo" in the center, which sets of the size of it all nicely. When I look at the parts, they're not so small, when I look at the hull I sometimes wonder how to get it all on without making a hughe stack. Today no harvest, study time ... Looking very spiffy Greg (something tells me, you must have done it before).

    If you are lucky you can smell what's for lunch in the rafters Actually, I would go for brekkie first However, since you asked for luncheon details, pizza with mushrooms and goat cheese, and pizza with salmon, or I dish up the salmon in either pancakes with cream cheese, and dill, or a souflé. Haven't made up my mind yet ... oh darn, mustn't forget to make apricot ice cream!!

    Darn, and I so hoped to have that belfry cleared, so I could sit relaxed, and dish up my latest concoctions

    whimp You mean: Then you took out your visor, and had a look at the real stuff I've learned to keepy mouth shut ... luckily not the hard way!!! It seems a lot harder than it really is. Patience, some apropriate tooling, and a visor would come in handy after a certain age (like mine). CA thin and thick (gel like). Why not join us, and have some practice with a relatively small ship ... we could do with a few more builders ... you can follow our lead, which makes it easier, and you do not need to do exactly what we do. RGL does it his way, I do it mine ...

    Merveilleux!!!

    Thanks Jack,black and grey to go. Just give me hands a rest from bending Waiting for a book on V & W clas destroyers, with which I hope to improve on the kit ...
  16. cog
    As per "royal" request
  17. cog
    Darn, I like that tower, Dan. I think I'll just stick to plastic and PE, this is out of my league ...
  18. cog
    Ah, Jack, 't-is a wee bit awkard, but you'll get used to it ... one step forward two steps back ... You do, however, get a fair bit of practise!!!

    Lou, A fellow bent person ... You should try Yamato/Musashi with the old tool from Tamiya. I do not even have to be sent around the bend look for my build log of Musashi ... (thought the pun was quite nice )

    Nice shots RGL Not rough weather ... mebby rough sprayin' ... today's harvest colour: Vallejo Fire Red (71.084) Found a picture of the funnels, which will be "enhanced" next. I expect a lot of time for a few very tiny items ... PE can send you round the bend

    So, Denis, what did you order for father's day?
  22. cog
    That's because there seem to be enough watchers
  23. cog
    Yupz, no time to sit on the couch with wifey, and watch a royal wedding
  24. cog
    Not to hard with all the build logs he has
  25. cog

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.
