    Don't bother 'bout the fancy methods from others Mark. I would be thrilled to bits to get it as spiffy as you did. A real good looking piece of brass engineering ...

    Nah, but that's probably because I do not know the song, besides ... isn't it a pitty such a marvelous ship has been sunk, just like Yamato and a lot of other magnificent ships... Scott, Lovely job on the railings. I like the shading you have applied a lot ... would have expected a brass ship's bell though ...

    A jig or a reel ... Thanks Pat, that clearifies a lot. Maybe I should have bought that English Oxford dictionairy 30 odd years ago ... or not(?). It seems double Dutch isn't the only dubious language ...

    Ah admirals ... if you don't give it they'll take it, or force it upon you as in this case 1:43 ... that's rather precise, you must be having the shakes by now ... are you certain you will get those railings on straight ... " It's a gluey mess! I think I glued my arm to my workbench by mistake. " Better tha havin the Bismarck attached ... at least you won't go far, and the chance of getting lost is quite small ... Scot,t Take care of that flu, and the missus Cheers

    Thank you., yes, so a cleat is also a protruding piece of wood? Nautical only? Darn foreign languages ... why use the same word for two or more different things
  6. cog
    I don't see a "cleat" let alone "cleats". According to my limited knowledge a cleat is a wooden or metal T-piece, used to attach rope(s) from rigging e.a. ...

    It is fascinating to see how they could stash so much in so little space ... marvelous

    Darn missed the start. Next time send me a PM Looking good so far Mike. Considering the shape of the hull, you could have taken a look at the Staten Yachts from Holland. We have had quite a few plumb nosed ships

    So now you have a new camera, you need to feed it ...

    Thanks Danny. .. in this case the proverb "Great minds think a like" doesn't apply, considering my relative mediocre one. So you only think when ill !?
  15. cog
    Lovely details on making those masts, the masts themselves look marvelous. Despite your lack of "posting enthousiasm" you've made quite some progress

    "problem is the holes in part 11 are way to small for said horizontal piece to fit through. So now what? I tried to drill out the holes a little bigger but ended up almost destroying the piece. I have a feeling the only solution is to fabricate a whole new piece and I am not good at that. Heres the piece" I have something like that, but a wee bit smaller, and it fits ... sometimes one just feels lucky ... My 2 cents: Cross the bars, loop a wire over the cross piece, pul underneath the other bar, and loop over the other side of the cross piece. CA to fixate it. You can get the full metal look by opening op the holes in the original part and fix it in place as if it part of it ...

    "The coaming sits down into the deck planking so the fit will work out well." Isn't that harder to accomplish, I would think so, although, I know I shouldn't think. Nicely planked, and the next steps start promising!
  18. cog
    you could switch to the rubber band engine ... very nice result on the plane, couldn't have equalled the feat ... does the other one look the same
  19. cog
    that's the oily version of beer downunder? Cheers mate, enjoy it

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.
