    Ed, I keep on forgetting about the LOS, maybe because I can't find it in local stores. Had to get silver soldering paste from Germany (got an address through Archjofo/Johann) Considering the foto/dust booth, I would, as the two former writers, advise on cloth (cotton, or linnen). If possible make it so you can change colours, as it largely depends on the ship's colours whether you should use white, ivory, grey, or another colour. If you can make the left and right side go roundish through the corner, it will be easier with lighting, and cloth is easier to handle for that. You might have this thought out already, just my two pennies Cheers

    So what's keeping you from bashing them ... Cheers

    Have to find that one again in the multitude of logs! Cheers mate
  4. cog
    You made it to the finish. Rather nice work. A pity we have to do without all the hardships, and questions, and redo's. Still a great feat mate Any ideas about the next build? Cheers

    Thank you Greg. What's in a mere 14,800 km (9,200 miles). I recall it is faster to cross a larger distance than a short one I'lll have a look at North Sta too. Hope you'll get your copy soon. It really is worth the wait

    Nope, but I'm looking into that ... I'm already cross eyed so I can maybe uncross it with more PE ... that might be a good idea!!! Thanks Denis Don't start about the tiny stuff ... it seems endless ... the funny thing is, the smaller the item, the more I need to stick on the model ... thanks for the good word mate!

    Something new ... (Greg, I got it today) AOTS Battleships Yamato & Musashi - a revised edition. It is a rather hughe difference: 192 pages in the old vs 336 pages in the new edition. A lot of comparisons, both textual as drawings, between upgrades during the years of armament e.a., differences between Yamato and Musashi. In short: A lot of reading and eye candy (the rigging is more clear too, you might like that, Greg) It'll take me a week or two to get through this one ... Catch y'all later ... don't mind the silence, I'm immersed ... Cheers

    Thanks Mark. The copy right is not a real problem, but for a forum which is rather strict about copy right on images, I think it strange they remove it.

    Jesse, Must be a weird look, a clean, and reorganised workbench, at least from what I've seen in the pictures of it's "natural" state Better a slow recovery, than none at all, my friend. You'll be back making a mess of your workbench, and drowning us underneath a pile of update posts. I'm still waiting patiently ... which means quite a lot for me! Take care Cheers

    That looks really lovely, Nils. So much more realistic, and sturdy!!
  11. cog
    Thank you Nils. I seem to forget things ... to much interesting news on this site!!!

    Very impressive, Nils. She's starting to look "all dressed up". I would have expected those "funnel stays" to have something to tighten up the tension, or slacken it for that matter. Cheers

    Nice way to display her, Jack. It makes her come a live. Not so static ...

    I would say it is ideal, as one would go to one's hobby instead of to work. In this case it's just a pitty we cannot enjoy his prowes full time/often. I would like to wish Gregg good luck in his endeavours, and hope he will find some space in time to treat us with his magnificent modelling feats. Cheers

    Keith, Probably give them back to his wife
  16. cog
    Is it Marcus. I thought you were selling clamps I wish you smooth sailing this third time. Your start looks promising.
  17. cog
    Some minor progress. Going slowly, not even steadily! P.s. When I upload my images it's owner and copyright properties get lost ... any reason why that happens???
  18. cog
    Rexy, We'll be here, waiting. In the mean time do what you must do to secure a job, as that is more important. Good luck! Cheers
  19. cog
    Can't imagine using treenails - not strong enough it seems to me - and I wonder if they had bolts at that time, I would sooner expect iron hoops ...
  20. cog
    Hans, How did you mount the shields?
  21. cog
    You've been stepping it up, very nice result on the weathering. I am still sticking to brass (currently "pulling" cables at the outside of the hull). I am curious how she will look after you give her that clear coat
  22. cog
    Wonderful!!!!!!!! 'B' 'U' 'T' ful
  23. cog
    You should be more carefull with those ribs, just as with the delete button Take care of those ribs a yours, don't put 'em on the barby
  24. cog
    That's alright, I had to laugh when I read it to be honest!! It was a very apt remark! If you would like sharing your trail, I'm certainly interested Cheers

    Nice progress, Jack. I know what you mean with the old 35mm, but we can do different things now, although not so much with the camera

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.
