    Do you have a VPN? If so, set it to the Netherlands and search, it sounds odd, but you will find a different set of sites for the same search criteria!

    I would have expected more archaic design as ornamentation on these ships. Can't say you didn't use your imagination ... frightful fellah you selected

    Nice work Sam, on the pivoting too I see you weighted down your hull to avoid escapes

    Lovely detailed work on your kitchen ... I'm afraid you'll turn in hungry after finishing such a large pot ...

    "I have done a bit of pondering over the last several weeks" looks more like months. It has been reather silent, Dick. With regards to your masting problem: If you feel the evidence is thus, limit yourself to a single mast, or if you have multiple installed, pretend it's from a later aera ...

    Plastic or paper ... it doesn't seem to make much difference PE-wise ...

    Scott, you'd better start lookin' on ebay like: 20mm flak PE 1/200 or bismarck 2mm flak PE 1/200, etc, etc e.g. this one unfortunately 1/48 but you'll get my drift

    Nice build, I especially like the wooly underneath

    Couldn't imagine you quit on the ol' girl

    Very impressive. Certainly a ship which lends itself for this kind of illumination. Can't wait to see more of your updates ...

    I know you can't, but when you know the colour code from lifeColor, you can get the corresponding colour from the chart. I've got a another chart somewhere which gives the mixtures for certain colours, but haven't found it yet

    You might find this link to german colours interesting For the USS MIssouri here and these you can translate with this Vallejo Conversion Chart.pdf

    A little touch up and she ready to rock 'n roll mate. You'll have her ship shape in no time

    For Tamiya I use 1:1 paint:thinner On Vallejo Air I use it straight from the flask, the others 2:1 1:1 paint:thinner ratio, it depends how it works out I have used 1:2 ratio for it's primer. It just depends on the weather/humidity temp, etc. It isn't an exact science you might say. I had to store my airbrush and paints, as night frosts are cooling the attic, and spraying gets rather difficult whit frozen paint

    "Took way longer than I thought to paint this." That's what they all say... You have a very nice finish on those items, and I have to say your railings look very sharp!! The mast doesn't look bad at all, that is to say the rungs stand out quite well

    Quite some welding to do on your deck, a bit sloppy work from the supplier. What's "metho"?
  17. cog
    Thanks, when I get my wood I'll let you know. She starts to look awefully good Mike

    That's a tricky one ... it's IJN, so I would go for Hinoki, but cypress is soft so that would make it teak, else I would have a choice at oak or teak (depending on the year of construction)
  19. cog
    "I do those also" that's the spirit!!
  20. cog
    Swedish or Dutch

    Found me a drawing, can you tell me if it is close enough ... What I've seen for Sopwith Camle planes, this would be a fitting prop ... well, actually half a prop sizes based on your given length total lengt 17cm max width 1.4cm (I can bring it down to your 1cm) max thickness 0.94cm seven layers : each layer 0.13xxcm I'll have to order some wood, as the stock I've got left doesn't meet the requirements
  22. cog
    No elevation ...??? I was so looking forward to that ... a real pitty ... Taking the planks off ...?
  23. cog
    Nah ... a gift would be more appropriate. Maybe just postage. It's a hobby, what's a bit of distraction time and wood between modeller mates
  24. cog
    I'll have a go at it, and shall let you know if I get as frustrated as you

    How's your treenail sharpener holding up Nice contrast with the deck.

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.
