    How far has it evolved ... Deathstar III or IV in the mean time? At least it works and the results are mighty fine. Those deck planks have a very nice caulking to it! Pitty can't get the same effect with a lighter. that's more to my wallet's liking

    WHat a pitty, we do not have access to his inner sanctum

    Jack, The get more depth, you need a higher f-stop, as from f-16 it improves. Depending on your point of focus too of course

    Kees, Does one need a Flickr account to see the video?

    great job on the painting Greg. The shading looks fine to me!
  6. cog
    Yes master Haven't heard that name in a while, Mark. It does, however, describe it rather well :D I'l be grasshoppering along Cheers

    Denis, Thanks, although I do like the brass as it is, some of it has discolourations, and as she will be painted, I'm no looking for additional complications by leaving the brass unpainted.

    Private video ... can't see the light ...

    Patrick, I see your creative juices are running free again. Looking good!

    Jack, F8 is nice, but I can't get the depth of focus I need at that f-stop. It gets to blurry to quick with the distance I have to the object. Besides that I need to get the iso down, as the pictures get to grainy. Idealy it should be 50 - 100

    Who the heck is Brian, Sam? Am I getting old, I forgot my own name?

    Thanks, Ken. It means I cannot take pictures after dark, as I do not have the proper lighting - like Geatan - I'm saving up for a reasonable flash, and a lightbox. I presume you want to know what the tiny little perforated thing-a-me-jig is. As far as I could make up out of the drawings, AotS and some other papers, it should be a range finder. I have to say that the detail of some of the brass parts are really astonishing. It is a strange experience to put so much time in such tiny items. One would expect it to go faster.

    New and improved formula I got my studio tripod out, increased iso to 800, set f-stop at 20, et voilà if you look good, you see the front is perforated or slightly easier on the eyes ...

    Thanks Greg, but I feel the novice once again. It has been over 40 years since I build a ship of plastic, and in this size ... it is my first. As promised, some better pictures, at least light-wise, still need to improve the depth of focus.

    What about the #4 bulkhead? It looks a bit spacy.

    Nice progress, Denis. The details make her more ship like, instead of a mere hull.

    Pat, Denis, You are so right, I certainly do not want to make boo boos wit the PE, although I do have a CA solvent solution, I do not know what the result will be when I need to remove a PE part from the plastic. I might end up with a Musashi plastic puddle I make some pictures from my very limited accomplishments last week, this afternoon. Cheers

    I hope you are better with numbers, Chuck A meter is 3 1/3 feet ...

    Gosh what a bleamin; poor excuse
  20. cog
    Grind a point on the shank of broken drill ...

    Good to hear you feel better Dennis. Even better to see you at the tools again. Give my best wishes to Phyl. Cheers

    Geatan, A very, very lovely build, with a log that has more to it than a build log but is also partly a manual, or should I say a road map. Great legacy from you I might add. It is certain you will choose a very interesting build. I have just one question: Did you ever consider to build just the stern part of the ship with the cabins at large scale, an end cross section? Salutations
  23. cog
    I would expect 24 oars, 26 shields, and 26 chests. A chief and someone at the "rudder" are missing ...
  24. cog
    Eye candy, Bob. Each time I see them I would like to build them too!
  25. cog
    You like complex things it seems. I see you've mixed brass and aluminum on your vents too. Looking forward to the installed funnels

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.
