    Do you have list with items you tick off? I wouldn't know what to do next by now ... I was under the same impression as Bob, couldn't find fault with anything anymore ... she looks lovely and ready for her maiden voyage ...

    I build the Smit Rotterdam a very long time ago. The inside I sealed with epoxy resin, which sealed of the prop shafts, and fixed the rudders nicely too. The hull I glued with water resistant white wood glue. Since it gets painted, and lacquered, you won't need epoxy for that, at least ... if you do your paint work well ... Cheers

    Aydin, A rubber band might work too, if you need some more pressure that is, and to compensate for height differences you could add a piece of wood

    Thank you kind sir, I'm honoured. You have her in a modeller's paradise, Wayne. Nice studio, for that can't be called a man cave! Your planking is looking good!

    Piet, What on earth have you got yourself into ... Need a new record for Guiness? Daniel has a good point for the alternative wood. that 0.5 mm is a bit hard to deal with for the scale, and what you want. I presume you don't want to work with plastic, else popeye made a good suggestion ... I would use veneer, which is ~0.1 - ~0.2 mm thick, or plastic to realise it ... Keep it up my stubborn friend

    Stunning, Patrick. When you see them details without reference they seem much bigger, as I can't imagine they can be build that small with so much details ... you did some marvelous work ... again, and again stunning detail Cheers

    Hé Aydin, I find this stage of builds always very messy, but in the end it turns out ok. So, I'll be looking forward to the result ... a smooth, flowing hull Cheers

    Ah, just five months You take a picture when finished, Wayne? ... some 'in between' shots would do splendid too! Cheers

    So, now I dare step on board, if I may. Fat chance falling off with such a rail ... It gives her a very nice appearance

    Practical sounds more like it .. looks like a fair mill, have you taken a look at those from Sherline ...
  11. cog
    Thanks for your insights. She starts to look like a stealth ship ... hmmm, interesting perspective that ...
  12. cog
    Yes, Igor, only slightly better. Now they are hardly visible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. cog
    Nice bit a progress Jack. Will you leave the heads protruding, or countersink(?) them (e.g. in the railing) or maybe grind/file them of ... Cheers

    Nenad, You are doing a fine job on making her spic and span. As Piet already ascertained, you're not going for the weathered look. She'll be all shiny and new ... I wish you a steady hand during touch ups! Cheers
  15. cog
    Where did you get that 30 ton grey-ish rock from ... because I'm taking that pic with a grain of rice ... that's a manipulated image, it can't be real ... you've been photoshoppin' all day to get it right, haven't you !?!?!? ... I'm ... you've even exceeded Igor(Sky) in smallness, any PE to be added for details? It really looks promising. Slipways are coming along nicely, How high will the water come? You keep us in suspense my friend, or should I say suspended between postings !
  16. cog
    Perfect ...

    Here we go again, can't stop him playing with those huge matchsticks So you found where I found out about it, Patrick ....... Igor, Some major beautiful work. I love the detail on the cabin's e.a., and as usual, you astonish me with those enormous pieces like the binnacle, and winch. It must be hard on your eyes from time to time. Now I see you about with the steering wheel, I remember I've got the PE for that too. Need to add it a wheel to the Sea Witch. Thanks for reminding me Cheers
  18. cog
    Piet, Very nice work. It doesn't surprise me you had to cut three of them fish bowls. Always something which goes wrong, but good recovery. I like the retaining wall for the "quay". starts to look like a slipway too. Looking forward to your next post!!!

    JesseLee, Remember: it's your build, and we can only say what we would do, or what possibilities are open to you ... you are the docyard super/master shipwright in here
  20. cog
    Thanks Aydin. Without an instruction manual it is guessing ...
  21. cog
    You didn't give 'em any space now, did you. You thought: "What they got in the 17th century they can get now too (28" suffices)" Looking very good, I'm tempted to jump into one of those hammocks ....
  22. cog
    Aydin, Why didn't you glue 14C and 14D to the removable part ... or at least the part from them which is above the removable part. You'll be lacking support if I'm not mistaken ...
  23. cog
    Mario, As we say: "You can't have the bow strung all the time". Everybody needs his/her relaxation. Good for you!!!
  24. cog
    Yep, so much dust it covered the sides of the promenade deck completely, no need to paint Nils, can't you attach a vacuum cleaner to the disk sander? Better for your lungs too ...
  25. cog
    Trimming those planks makes a lot of difference. She is starting to look like a boot. I'm curious as to how the finish of those drive shafts will look where they enter the hull. That are some rather big holes to fill ... Cheers

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.
