    She does have a nice glow with the lights. Not to strong either. Well done

    So you like these holidays, Mr Bunny!? Well done Greg. The brass were just sinle straight strips or segments of the deck? I think I would prefer the single straight strips to segments, although it would take more time, less chance to make a mess ...

    Maybe for a next one, use 10mm ply on the outside, and 6mm on the inside, and as cover. It looks very sturdy in 10mm though. If it will stick to the wall ... that depends on the mounting method you choose, but I'm confident you'll make the right choise!

    I do not understand the pre streching part, gents. I would expect the "line" to return to its previous state (more or less) so you would still have some or most of the strech when attaching/tightning ... or do you stiffen the line when streched with some solution like diluted white glue?

    I like the scratch build idea ...

    As long as you find the John in time

    The problem is, you are the dockyard workers We'll just have to take your word for it now, don't we

    Ed, Lovely work on the rigging. Doesn't tensioning the shrouds like you did risk having the deadeyes "off line"
  9. cog
    You could take an American English course ...
  10. cog
    You are a brave man ... Looks very, very promising!!!

    Thought there would be madness in your methods ... That last picture where you stend besides you ship shows it ... You have still a ways to go before you get where you show us you want to go. Take in mind the navy is a tadd more strickt in maintenance ... although, they might have turned a wee bit slack during WWII. Looking forward to your next postings

    "If I don't keep my word, bug me mercilessly. " That's easy, but will it motivate you ... You did, however, picked up where you left off, and make progress. A slow start is as much a start as a running one Keep it up

    Marvelous!

    Looks spiffy, especially starboard! "things should be easier from now on" That's what modellers always say, until proven contrary

    Hear, hear, Dick
  16. cog
    If you had an island with palmtrees in the background ... it would be the real deal to see. Looking swell, mate

    Planking looks amazingly good, Russ. As far as I can see you have two equal parts on either side of the "lead line" ... considering your present planking state: Ready in a jiffy it seems to me
  18. cog
    It seems you deal quite well with tricky parts, Dan. As you wrote:, Just a glop of paint on the edges before fitting ...
  19. cog
    That could be very nice. I wonder if the seas got very high in the North Sea, my experience - from the trip of Hoek of Holland to 'arrich - was not such impressive waves, as it is just a narrow stretch of water ... watch out for Frostbite

    And more very crisp detail. You are moving along quickly, Jesse. I especially like the way made the cleats and how sharp they turned out.
  21. cog
    you still have promises to keep though ... it's a little more promising too Results are getting better and better, Mr Bunny You could take the road less traveled by as it makes all the difference ...
  22. cog
    Interesting, Mike. Looking forward to your box's apparition. How long is the length of the led string?
  23. cog
    That looks like silk to the touch. Great work on the sanding Daria! It will make the second planking easier to do. You tell daddy to do as you instruct him to!
  24. cog
    Nice Danny, Anoher IJN build, glad I found it in time, about halfway through right ... strange to hear about a card build with PE, haven't seen that yet. I saw it's not just the "simplicity" of instructions you encounter, but you seem to have parts on "none" sheets too, are those the left out sheets, or just clearly invisible? Cheers

    Nice planking, Nenad

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.
