    Thanks Denis. Pat, If he does, I'll have one for you too Could go simultaneously Greg, Finding WiFi is not the point, getting entrance to the network is a lot harder. Luckily I'm back home now. unfortunately, I've been working my hiney off to get a major software release finished ... not much building or spraying

    Pat! Back from Canada? Stockholm was much more. Besides, I had a tremendous good guide on Saterday afternoon and Sunday. Mike showed me a lot of pearls, and I can't wait to go back to do some further exploring!!! Back has improved a lot. Hardly feel it anymore. Maybe walking through Stockholm did the trick, if so I'll get my physician to write me a recurring prescription to go there

    As Denis wrote, Jesse. After painting them, the belaying pins won't show if they are made of wood or brass. Considering the quantity of rope for the rigging, they will be hardly visible ( size wise too)

    Clare Glad it is to your liking. I had a hard time putting it aside to go to work, or bed. I've got Douglas Brooks' book which I enjoyed reading a lot, it doesn't surprise me he knows Azby. There is something appealing about the old ways they still practise their trades in Nippon.

    Back is hurtung less. Worked from home, which saved me the drive by car. Primed the hull ... unfortunately I can go back to the workbench, and pull some finer grained sandpaper from the stack. That'll have to wait till next week though.

    Looking very good, Jesse. I like those stanchions very much!!! You deck is becoming a real ship's deck now you are adding the furniture. It's great to see your progress. Keep it up!! Cheers

    Nice trompet ensamble! I know what you are going through Mr Bunny. You are still going fast, even if you feel it isn't. Those pom-poms look very spiffy. Wonderful!

    If you put me on a rack, you are going to stretch me right so predictable Rattlin' on Sam ... try a grey-ish backdrop, piece of cloth, durty duster, cardboard, ... I like your porcupine ratlines

    MAybe for a next time. I put only epoxy on the inside. To much of a hassel to use the fibers, besides used that on the outside

    From plastic look to a hull. Great work Mr Bunny

    "There are still tripple stacked foldable boats" now that will be interesting!!! Will you make them tripple stacked in the mould, or stack them after you made them ...
  22. cog
    Luckily a short sprint to catch up. I had to darken the planks on my Dolphyn build, and used stain based on alcohol (no didn't drink it) which is more transparent and shows the structure of the wood. The thin sliver of deck might be better off with that, as paints will most certainly cover the wooden look ...

    Congratulations on the job!! Great to see yo back Rexy. Very nice work on the hull, it looks like the end result, beautiflul. Hmmm, I see you have a similar taste for lubricant when working in dusty surroundings
  24. cog
    That is very slick, Nils. Can't wait to see them finished

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.
