    Shows the quality of your scrap metal ..

    Perhaps you should practise on some scrap metal, Michael. When I used to paint my white metal model cars, every time I had to do one I first tried to get the feel of the rattle can's paint using it on some object to find out how quickly it would start to run. Sometimes I was lucky finding the best way at the first try, usually it took me a few tries though ...

    NICE ... I have been looking forward to your return at the bench!! You have been sorely missed here.

    7cm ... Then you'll have your work cut out for you! Good luck with the planking. That won't be easy, or will you be using a plug?

    Nicely done, Dennis. I would have expected standing sheave blocks on the deck, and the metal type at the foot of those beams ... Hope you feel better soon, i.e. good enough to work on your model ...

    Can't wait to see it fitted together. It looks real good, Jesse. Keep it up!

    Windsor & Newton masking fluid often used for water colour, or Vallejo masking fluid ...

    Sorry to hear you still haven't succeeded. Hope things come back to normal soon
  9. cog
    And that's done with the Stanley too ...

    Marvelous work, Russ. I see what you mean, but a model is a representation, and should be seen as such. It will never be possible to make an exact copy at the scale we are working at. Yes, most of us are our own worst critics, but why should it be easy ..., what's the challenge in that ...!?

    Fabulous Igor. How is your experience so far with the sillicone?
  12. cog
    That is some major miniature work, Igor. The propeller is made from brass sheet, bent into form?

    Those details make her even better. Nicely done, Aydin

    Stunning job, Grant. I like that copper(ed) bottom ... nearly a period time ship (of the line)

    Allan, Good to see you back at the workbench.I hope those chocks get slightly bigger the further you get ... that would make them a bit easier to handle ... looks promising though

    Very, very impressive William

    Mike, Tried to find something closer which I could read - my Swedish is real bad, if non-existing (if tld = 'se': '@#$%^&*{]*&^%^&' ) - but unfortunately they don't have an English site in Europe.

    Nice work William, very impressive. Short blade or a snap off blade ... straight or curved?
  20. cog
    Looks the part Michael, and yes, less messy!!
  21. cog
    Steve, I'm missing all those scars, fresh cuts, and band-aids from creating all those fabulous tiny deck fittings Sorry, Nenad, back to your log
  22. cog
    In contrary to EJ: To me it looks as if it doesn't belong, the unshingled roof. Like it isn't finished. If you could give the shingles a less uniform copper look it might make a difference, and the roof in between wouldn't look to much. What I mean is it looks to neat for a copper roofing, which in turn gives you the wrong impression.
  23. cog
    Druxey triggered a memory of something I read ... oil and heat might do the trick ...
  24. cog
    It starts to look like a ship's deck, Nenad. Very nice work on the companion way P.s. those giant fingers look really fake
  25. cog
    I have a quadruple backup for an encrypted file with passwords, it resides on all my systems and the odd external backup diskS. Depending on it's use, and if it is an internal or external password, I reuse an existing one or create a new one. The main problem is with the internet, that everywhere sites request (order) you to make an account, and you need another password. I've got nearly 300 registrations with a password ... It really does drive you nuts ...

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.
