I could see the rigging, but where are the masts ... What kind of thread have you used, Patrick. It looks good on the model that size

Piet, As with all the repetitive work, it takes time, but you could train your brain muscle searching for ways to make that solder production line. You might use a revolving cake stand a low one, I found one in marble ... put a soldering stone on top, maybe another in between to dissipate the heat and you're on your way ....

Well done Mick!!! If you hadn't it would have bitten you in the hiney, and irritated you all along the rest of the build ... Curious to the pre and post looks of the redo though ... you've got me all excited!!! Cheers

Ken, DNA imprint is mandatory as Mark said, so don't be to picky on that. It's the only way to prove you are the builder(!) It's your builds fingerprint. About the segments ... both methods have their pros and cons. Glueing it up up front might be easier, because you can handle the different pieces more easily, but you may not get correct 'in line'. Attaching the segments individually, could be harder as you are forced to confirm to the hul's shape. However, you follow the hulls line. The chance to deviate is far less compared to the first method. It's mainly a question of preference/choice and whatmakes you feel at ease ...

Igor Your English is very good, you just do not know all the expressions, which is normal. A blown bottle or glass, used to be made by people blowing on pipe with glass at the end, thus forming a baloon shape which could be used for lamps, bottles, and other glass objects. Nowadays it's done by machines, which make every bottle identical, and are less a health hassard example of manual blowing

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.
