    Michael, I recall on my mini the valve had a valve seat, a ring in the engine head, maybe an option to insert a hardend metal ring ... just a thought I also use double valve springs ... but then ... it was an engine to be run at high rpm's
  2. cog
    Lucky me, a mini only had 8 valves, and these are far, far larger ...

    Mark you beat me to it, it looks like a hughe sucker!!! Those last details do make it look like a working vessel Kees. Very nice finish on that mast and spraydeck. Functional improvements do not need to be beautiful, they should be practical, as shown

    I would go for the last one if a lot of stress is expected in real life usage ...

    Typically Dutch Jan. I would ioncrease the bid if I had the money. In fact it's priceless!

    Fam, I am not familiar with a hook joint, any example? So to me, currently, I can only advise on scarf joint ..

    Cristiano, I hope I will get my sails and rigging as good as yours when the time comes!
  8. cog
    Great work Fam, like those sheave blocks, very neatly done

    Hold on to those pants, Michael, you're doing rather nicely ... The wire you use for the springs, anything special?

    And mobbsie mason mortarred on ... You really do go fast!!! Have another wounderful build waiting mate ... !? Looks good though, very sturdy and neat ...
  11. cog
    Mobbsie likes to be up front ... that's why he left the explaining and taking all those pictures up to you Grant!!
  12. cog
    I've been thinking about a wallpaper steamer ... Will be tagging along anyway
  13. cog
    Looks good Grant, I really cna't wait to see the next step!
  14. cog
    Some last minute stunning details ... Looks really marvelous.
  15. cog
    Can't you make a wooden box for steaming ... That would decrease the waiting for the planks to be bent into shape ...
  16. cog
    Now you mention Kees, I might as well ask why you didn't use brass on the sides of those ladders ... a little soldering ... would give them a nice metal touch/finish ... Perhaps you could do some electrical wiring around the cabin and the part beneath it ... as a minor detail ... or a handrail around the cabin ... to hold onto during foul weather. I remember those from the Smit Nederland I'm getting your virus mate ... better hold my tongue ...
  17. cog
    Stunning ... silence
  18. cog
    John, That's because they're little, I'm gald he didn't jet find out about all those ini mini tiny details ... Popeye, You keep on amazing the crowds with your never ending creative endurance ...
  19. cog
    Chuck, Could you ..., Oeps Love the details you've achieved with lasercut brass. As I can't compare it with similar etched parts I can't say it's better or worse, but hey, it looks awfully good
  20. cog
    Cristiano, You do not need to use them for balls, you can shoot daisies
  21. cog
    Great save on the primer Kees. Love the detail your showing. Almost a picture of the real thing!!!
  22. cog
    Talking about humbling ...
  23. cog
    Work tends to interfere rather forcefully into our hobbies ... Those ratlines, and stays can really ty your brains up into a turkish head. So far you've achieved all your goals, even with those lovely cannons I'm convinced you'll have it up in no time
  24. cog
    It looks close enough!
  25. cog
    A small wonder ... I marvel at your ability to create something so stunning

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.
