    You like living on the edge ... So what happens after you've depleted your sick hours? It's an unknown system to us. We have no limitation on sickness, we get checked and a physician decides whether you get back to work or if the sickness period gets extended, and for what period, before you need to get back at the doc's office.

    I wonder why ... I would expect the bands with such a big yacht ... maybe those have been left off after an overhaul ...

    So life is in the way again ... or another build? How are you doing? Cheers

    Nice work, despite the invalid's hand

    The only thing you need to take into account is that the handle can't be fixed on a round shaft, but at the scale you are working and the fact it won't be used, that doesn't matter. You have the side ways pivotting motion of steering, and the up and downwards motion to keep the scate flat on the ice, Pass a brass tube through the wood, trhough which you can pass a solid brass rod on which you solder the "claw" which holds the skate. You can make the bulbous shape either by adding solder, or by using multiple tubes one over the the other, soldering them together and file them into shape ... The brass bands to keep the backbone from splitting are a nice piece of work from this part of the build too, I might add. A bit like the " Young America's yards" from EdT ... a nice challenge

    Sorry to hear about the broken finger ... you shouldn't have given the finger, though You could try the simple things - are you a right hander (as we say)? little things like prepping for the next part of your build ... or get ready for that next build ... read yourself in etc. Hope your finger heals quickly

    A feast for the eyes ... another smile on my face ...

    great minds think a like ... looking good mate cheers

    impressive Jack ... very much so

    You did get value for money ... kept you busy for a while, you tried nearly every feasible option, you got more airbrush training, and you know what decals to select when in doubt ... On top of that, a very good result in the end. The only remaining question: Is it what you intended, knowing full well your attitude towards your expected perfection ...

    Good save, and lucky you got the one which is covered. Stange they didn't have 4 hawse holes though

    How utterly painful ... it does carry truth though. A lot of digital media has been changed and old ones can no longer be accessed because of e.g. missing hardware ........
  15. cog
    Nice!!! Looks pretty sturdy too
  16. cog
    A small marvel Piet, and big accomplishment!! Take your time on the diorama. Better do it right the first time of

    He, ho ... he, ho ... Couldn't you make a baseboard with a cross cutout so you can slide the rotary table in different positions ... just a thought popping up ...
  18. cog
    The more impressive the result. Pumps are looking good too
  19. cog
    Impressive Mike. Very nice rigging ... looks like you've done it before
  20. cog
    Lovely job. What are those dark spacers made of? When I look at the original, I don't see hexagonal nuts, so you could shape them down, filing them to scale ... at least the "top" ...
  21. cog
    How are your bonsai skills ...? Oh golly, another kit impatiently waiting for some TLC (knifes, glue, and paint) ... already looking forward to the next one. But first things first ... Dr 1 (could be a 007 film title )
  22. cog
    " I've done some final trimming etc in readiness for the upper skins. I've also fitted the "teak" sections of the main decks. These fitted perfectly : " What did you expect else, with your wood skills - as show in Vulture Those hull pieces do fit quite well ... you can always say the paint cans were from different batches when someone starts on the "50 shades red"
  23. cog
    Ah, well we from Dutch stock seem to have found your build log first Wouldn't miss this one for the world ...
  24. cog
    Actually, since you mention it ...
  25. cog
    Which doesn't mean those should remain static (can always try to persuade you ...)

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.
