Amalio, At the stern it looks as if you have given more form to the wood, than at the bow. It looks more smooth. I saw some very interesting naval/nautical paintings at your wall

Well, that was a bang, very beautiful detailed build, Bob. Your grandson should be thrilled his grandfather made him such a personal gift!!!

Another sweet model on itself, Matt!! -
Jack, I lost sight of this build, unfortunately. You've done some wonderful work. A nice staining tutorial too. Maybe something like this is an option: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/335-hmc-sherbourne-1763-by-tkay11-%E2%80%93-caldercraft-%E2%80%93-scale-164-a-novice%E2%80%99s-caldercraft-sherbourne/page-14#entry429052 I found it a very elegant method, and you could have the oars at a natural angle ... Cheers

Told you so, Piet. Love the mill and the shop ... maybe with a lighter colour, we could have seen the details on the door, but this is more realistic for the type of building. Again some great results on a tiny scale! Cheers

Clare, A truely lovely build. Hard to distinguish from a wooden one. Very impressive Cheers

Bathrooms only forr'ard ... !?!?!? Soon you won't be able to move you bum around. Should be fun in high seas all those accoutrements ... a few additional lockers/closets should be in order ... If I think off anything else to add, I'll let you know mate Cheers

Those boilers are quite the chunk of metal. You could use a satin finish on them ... i.e. if you don't like the mat

Simon, You're off to a good start. The other log will certainly help you out if the building instructions are unclear. You might find more logs, when you search for lady Nelson in the topic Build Logs for SHIP MODEL KITS, although, I presume you did that already

Thanks, I might give some part of a PE sheet a whiff of paint, have a look what that will do ... Your tank looks good!

Mike, Lovely stand, for me it looks a bit fragile below the beast. Just out of curiosity, any reason for the small size in stand?

It seems that the KWdG was adequately outfitted when I read Nils' post about the number of boats he must produce ... besides it's a German vessel and furthermore, IMHO, cannot be compared with the Titanic in build or purpose ... Nils, Very nice progress. Besides the stack of boats you need, you're nearly starting a production line of skylights ...

Mobbsie, Your PM-box is full. You cannot receive any messages. I presume you mean upload, download is to your PC/laptop. What browser do you use? Do you use the flash-uploader or the "normal" one. Try change the upload from one to the other. What virus programm do you use?

Owww ... Mark, you should take two measurements: One like you do now, and one where you flip over the pointed ends of your jig to be at the top, or put a block underneath the thickness of the beam. The latter will give you a different size in some cases, especially deep down in the hull. You can sand the angle on your beam to make it flush fit. Besides that, there is the curvature of the hull to take into account too, which implies four measures ... It is easy to tell someone what to do, after the error is made, but your work does look great, even from this side of the globe!!! Well done.

Good to hear from you Kees. We won't run away, so we'll be waiting upon your return. Take care of yourself and your family first!

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.
