    Opened a "beer" account at the shop to keep topped up ...? I'd rather have the heat, though, snow and rain ain't what you're looking for !

    Gosh, never would have thought that possible ... You're up late, mate. Can't sleep because of the heat ...? So if this is the prelude to summer ... what will it bring when it's in full swing ...

    How much primer (layers) id you use before scribbling? Looks rather good so far ... I wouldn't work outside this time of the year though, not even for sanding or spraying

    Lovely deck planking OC. Will you be treenailing it, or leave it like this. When I look at how hardly visible the treenails on Victory are in real life, I would leave it like this.

    A puff of saw dust ... glad you made it back to the workbench, Mark!

    Thanks wefalk, that was what I meant with my question

    Interesting bit of knowledge Ed. Is it the twist and tendency of rope to swell when getting wet, which shortens it?

    You never cease to amaze me, Johann. So much detail at such a scale ... every time a new treat to be mesmerised by ...

    "Question about the leeboards. In the plan it shows that the leeboard is attached to this rectangle holder with a slit through it but it does not go further than that. In all my other models of Dutch boats it goes through the railing as well and is fastened with metal." In "Het Staten Yacht Utrecht" by Ab Hoving, you can see it's a rectangle wooden slab with a slit bolted on its corners to/through the railing. The slit goes through the railing, and has chamfered edges. Cheers

    As always, nicely instructed progress. Often I have to go back to see what I have missed, being unaware of the all the hardly visible detail you add. (The cold weather and lower humidity has loosened things up. ... shouldn't it be higher humidity?)

    NICE!! I can see the details, whilst the ones I've build, you can hardly see it's a gun at all!!!

    Ah, but Pat these are German guns !!!!! I would have expected something more like a crosshair ... but these are German ...

    "thiourea" It's used a.o., as a fixative. Thought it sounded familiar ... film vs digital photography ... https://www.britannica.com/science/thiourea

    Nice organ mate, played a tune on it yet Time to blow off some steam. You deserve it

    Thanks for the warning wefalck, it's what I got on several Dutch sites for the term you used above ...

    Maybe this will help. If so, at amazon.de it is rather expensive. I can get it for € 5. exc shipping. Maybe you can get it at your end of the globe, or something similar

    Ah, I thought you would be having a perfect score, but there it is ... a redo!!! It's a good decision though, it would be a painful memory if you wouldn't have done it. Every time you would look at it you would know ... She is turning out quite a beauty!

    Don't spoil the fun Brian!!!

    Very well done Dan. Turned out very good (even at 1/200 )
  21. cog
    Lovely work, Jason, and very nice details you added.
  22. cog
    I'll keep me fingers crossed for you mate
  23. cog
    Very well done Daria. If you continue like this you will out do your father in modeling skills. Hope you all have a lot of fun making X-mas present!!!
  24. cog
    That will blow a hole in your PE stash Greg ... looks rather smashing ...

    What I like about this scale, Dan, is the infinite number of additional pieces you get for e.g. a 37mm gun. You must be a glutton for punishment By the way, lovely work on those deck sections.

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.
