    Fiberglass resin, in my limited experience - body repair work, and watertightning a ship's hull - is rather thick. The other one I don't know ...

    Looks more like one of those sixties radio ships on the North Sea ... Transmitting the new very frowned upon popular music

    Mick, Another nifty clamp ... creative brain you've got. Glad we don't need to pick your brain for these things, but get it during the build ... Love the way the 'skeleton'is coming about ... Cheers mate

    Stretch or stiff nets ... with stretch you can get more fish, it just takes a while to wheel it in ... You are probably sleeping outside, Kees ... at least I can imagine that. Those sumwings look pretty close to what they look like on that site. Good job. Do you need to finish the garlic bulbs before you may use the nets ...?

    Oh, really ... I find it nerve wracking!!! I toss and turn, and wonder ... I can't go anymore nuts than I already am!!!

    Sam, What is stopping you to try it ... I'm not a blackening artist either, but it's certainly doable Cheers

    Hello Nils, What do you use for shrouds, they look very silvery in the pictures ...

    You could put on your glasses, Nenad

    Ayden, Good progress. You are quite right in your remark that the manufacturer could/should pay more attention to the grain of the visible wood in relation to other components. These kits are expensive enough for the parts to be 'in grain' with eachother. To me it seems as a very nice, and challenging kit to make!

    Nils, I remember that quite a lot of finishing work is done whilst afloat ... Though I presume you are not ging to copy that building location ... Cheers

    Fast in building Aydin ... very fast. Still looking very good!

    Mike, Do you want it to look nice, or do you want to build according to plan ... it seems that is the primary question to ask ... Ships weren't build with an open hull, so these "ugly" or "weird" constructions would not be seen. Furthermore, it looks like the powderroom just shows above the lowered floorplan. The top of which is in line with the other floor, which might be just the reason for the stepped flooring. Unfortunately, I'm no expert, and can't confirm it or any other possible reason to build it thus. Hope someone can give you a definite answer Cheers

    Mark, Lovely detail, Thinking things over, and trying out several scenarios led you to a very nice result. Hold on to it, you've nearly finished another significant item Cheers

    Jack, You seem to live in a just as hobyshop poor environment as I do ... some basic materials are available, but when you need the real deal, it takes either an age in travelling time, or you need to get it shipped, and shipments aren't JIT delivery! I've used the vallejo on the sea witch, but the kind for the airbrush, which works nice. I've got their metallic range for airbrush too, and will be trying that out one of these days. First get familiarised with the new H&S airbrush. Cheers

    You keep on producing stunning details, Johann

    Nice kit, Aydin, Seems you've setup nicely, and have already gathered some speed in your build ... Like that building board you are using! Cheers

    She's nearing the moment to slide of the building slip, Nils. Marvelous work on all those details Cheers

    Dick, Looks very good. Just a thought, but considering the usage, wouldn't it be more logical to have it open at the top, so the hatch would function like a (draw)bridge ... Cheers

    JAck, Nice progress, you probably fixated that winch with all the paint you used ;-) Looking good Cheers

    You are going to blast the captains skylight !?!?!?!? bad move with the gun Nenad, I would reconsider that item ;-) Looks promising!

    Kees, Nifty little tool that circle cutter ... Sometimes a video explains best what you do ... looks great! An amazing build, all those parts you've cut, and cast ... a work of art ... spectacular
  23. cog
    LAUNCH BLOCK ...???
  24. cog
    Kees, Soon you can make a build log with video's ... just refer each post to YouTube

    Druxey, What's left unsaid ... I can't think about anything to be honest ... It has been a very educational and inspiring masterclass ... not just the building steps, but the details like painting the burr wood, the carvings, and the dolphins too. Time flew, and I couldn't wait for updates ... I'll be missing those Thank you 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.
