    Nice kit, nice details too. Good to see you back at the modelling table

    Thanks for the likes, thanks for the comments gents

    Thanks all for the likes, and comments I did paint on stripes Denis. As it would be rather silly not to. In all honesty, Initially I forgot and had them painted the base "belly colour", but realised I should have painted them with stripes. Checked the paint scheme, and added them by hand. By the way, I changed the prop from fixed to a turning one. That's why it's still not mounted. I did a wee bit of weathering, painted the exhaust (nearly forgot as well) ... final layer of varnish/lacquer ... would satin be the propper choice or gloss?

    Now I can't keep up appearances anymore, Pat You turret them around or what ...

    good choice OC

    I couldn't resist the open door, Mr Louie, not to start about that surname, which is quite appropriate in this context Nice to learn something about Sydney though. Must be a hell of ride with such weather

    odd, taking a ferry to a public lavatory

    did you use decal fixative, or only the softner?

    Thanks mate, means a lot coming from you. I already wondered

    That's nice, gives away the innards of the ship, a taste of what's to appear. Will be hard to copy at 1/350 ... Nah, mate, although you make it seems so easy ... Seydlitz, I can see her from my desk whilst working, but need to get my head on straight. I can't do much more than a spit or a fokker at 1/72 presently. To messed up because I'm working where I'm modelling too. I've been in the same room for over 8 weeks, feels like a straight jacket, and makes(?) me a mental case

    Thanks Dennis, it starts to look better. Finished the nose cone, propellah, and landing gear. Added some decals, still a few to go before I'm done with that. The remaining ones are really small, between 1 and 2 mm sometimes I wonder if I did put some of those on!

    Looking good Dennis

    This one I will certainly not build when I look at the runway ... nice replacment you scratch built, although, a bit of a cover up when I look at the work you did on the interior

    Roman time bus I presume ... I'm missing the driver ... some didn't catch the eight o'clock bus it seems ... still places left. (love the joke, Steven)
  16. cog
    Putting on some lip gloss?

    If I recall well from reading, the drag of a wider beamed boat is less than a narrow boat/ship. There is a set back, though: You can't deal as well with strong winds as a narrow beamed ship which has far more volume beneath the surface, hence, the search for the ideal beam is an ongoing adventure

    Mr Butts, that is a big RED unit come on baby light my fire!!!
  19. cog
    As always, you run a tight ship!

    Mike, either an electric, battery run, mini compressor directly attached to it, or a pressured cannister. I've seen them, but it looks rather clumsy to me. I prefer the pencil shape without the encumbrance of an "airpressure unit", however small, attached ot it

    Luponero, Marvelous work on the sails. The yards (what you call flag poles) look beautiful. Cannot wait to see how she will look once the sails are up and trimmed.
  22. cog
    You didn't think larger is more easy right!?

    Eric, a lovely trip on the making of Arabia. Lots of learning done, enjoyed every bit of it. Thanks for sharing and the journey Have you thought about the material used to make dioramas for your sediment base? Like pigments, and such. That might just give the result you are looking for. Try "mud diorama" in google, gives some fascinating possibilities
  24. cog
    looks a lot like the one I'm building well, but for the striping that is

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.
