    It pains my eyes, how small

    Keep it up, a few more to the top ... and then the other side ... you are doing marvelous

    Piet, Why didn't you remove part of the lower hull to make it more like a waterline model? Since you do not make the water opaque, you can still do that ... What you also can do, make a filler from some (foam?) board to increase the contents, cut out the shape of the hull as to fit the Java in the position you want her ... less polymer to poor in ...

    He's walkin' on ice ...

    Looks better and better every time you update ... Any reason why you took the Red Baron colour scheme?

    It really looks superb, Mike (the model too ) Are you certain it is big enough? If it isn't, I am willing to take it off your hands

    That jigg must save some time, and frustration! Makes it worthwhile to invest the time. Your deck furniture is growing steadily ... curious as to what else you have in store for us ...

    I've seen someone make water by colouring the mould, and poor the translucent polymer stuff on top. Was somewhere on youtube. It had a rather nice effect as it gave depth to the water. I am curious as to how yours will turn out!!

    With reference to Ken's remark: You could use a transparent acrylic kit to seal the edges ...

    Tell me Scott, why did you add the shading? It looks as if the grey layers blocked it out, or is it the pictures in which it is not visible (or my poor eyesight)? There is an other option to mask without sticky tape. You can use a sheet of paper, cut into shape or straight as required, and hold it in front of the area to be masked. Might take some practice in the beginning ... it might do the trick ... Forgot to add: It's not meant as negative criticism, I know it's easy to comment from the side ...

    Great job on the hull, and very crisp details on the rudder. You have another "winner" on your hands ... she is already shaping up

    I see you still have that giant matchstick and blow up hand Glad I caught you in the act of still constructing this little marvel. You really do not cease to amaze me with you miniature builds. Maybe for another model, you could have the oars tossed (upright) , and have an admiral in the stern seats ...

    Then where is the battle damage on the centre wing? It should be shot right through I'd say ... loading your gun ...?

    Can't wait for it to emerge from your drawing board, Dick ... trembling with anticipation!

    Greg, Do you really need to use a sticky mask on the brass, can't you use a paper template? Else you'll be needing an etching primer, however, that one I wouldn't advise to use in your H&S brush

    Nice work Jack. Your soldering has improved too

    It was a thrilling voyage with you. I've enjoyed every step of the way, and the result is stunning. Thank you for sharing ... I'm actually sorry the port of destination has been reached ...

    Mike, your herringbone patern turned out marvelous. The colour of the wood nicely accentuates it. Beautiful work!
  19. cog
    looks marvelous, caan't wait to see the third ...

    Scott, Every manufacturer has it's own timetable: this one is humbrols Paints Enamel Gloss Paints: Surface dry 1 - 2 hours, Fully dry in 24 hours Enamel Matt & Satin Paints: Surface dry 20-40 minutes, Fully dry in 24 hours Enamel Metallics: Fully dry in approx 10 days Acrylic paints: Fully dry in 1-2 hours, please allow longer for Gloss and Metallic finishes Acrylic Sprays: 15-30 minutes I wait for Tamiya primer to cure in in 48 hours. It all depends on the qty of thinner used, how thick the layer has been applied, and whether it is oil, or water based paint. If you used the Tamiya primer, I would say give the curing 48 hours ... you shouldn't be in a hurry
  21. cog
    Nice pair, Mike
  22. cog
    Such astonishing detail. I am glad I've a 4k monitor, so I can enjoy your work so much better ... a few minor items to deal with ... those shouldn't pose to much of a problem for you when I look at what you have built so fat
  23. cog
    Ah, a printer! "Treenails arnt in yet...just predrilled holes." meant the deck planking. I like it the nails aren't to prominent.
  24. cog
    You might need to make a few more clamps, mate. can't imagine you have enough of them ... quite a nice job on the planking, treenails look good too
  25. cog
    Fresh milled flower probably, druxey. Or some other white powdery substance Nice steps, practical jig too!

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.
