    Nice touch those wine glases and decanter. Truely amazing

    Some questions Michael. I would expect the carburettor much closer to the inlet, as I would expect the petrol spray/vapour to become more droplet like - when coming from farther away - and thus give less combustion as it won't burn as efficient as vapour. So why does it get mounted that low with so much tubing to reach the cylinder head ...? Furthermore I would expect the manifold to be off tubing from an even diameter ... the one attatched to the carburettor is smaller, and rather severely bent, won't that influence petrol flow ? Having applied for curiosity satisfaction, I must again express my admiration for your metallurgical prowes

    You only need to blow her up to real size Popeye ... she could just take to sea fishing, and for certain bring back a full load

    Kees, It could be the thinner reacting on your primer ... not the paint. Way to go to ask sailors for colour information, for on that picture I only could see black, ochre (yellowish), light green, and white ... The deck would be impossible to devine, same for the bulkheads. Have a steady hand with the airbrush! Looking forward to a colourful result

    The frustrating part is when I would do something like this it would look cluttered and messy. You've accomplished a clean crisp look ... sometimes hobbies are so ... painful on the ego ...she's looking ravishing 'maître'

    You've set a new level for scratch building in plastic Kees. Schitterend, truly magnificent, wunderbar, magnifique ... I'm almost sorry to see it end ... Lucky us you've a new project ready

    What's there left to say, if not to write ... it started out with a title for a post and soon turned out an addiction for most ... the end is nearing ... postpone it sailor!. You are doin' such a fine job. Love the latest additions ... keeps our expectations tense ... and our curiosity high ..

    I never realised it, but the rigging - as in rope - looks so realistic even at the scale you are building ... it is amazing. And again splendid detail on the gaf... like the contrast with the pear wood
  14. cog
    No Mark, pleaaase not jet ..... Let him crack his creative brain on somemore goodies ...
  15. cog
    Awesome Kees.The details bring her alive, make her more realistic ... Love the way she;s turning out ...
  16. cog
    To thought is like presuming ... the mother of all f...ormidable faults!! One shouldn't think, that's asking for problems Be glad you cut that ladder long, instead of short... I would certainly have had it the other way 'round. I like the new Ctrl + box challenge You got me excited again ... but that seems to be your specialty

    Grant, Well done, even without wetting your hands Glad to hear all went well and you will be as good as new!!! Soon you'll be runnin' 'round the dockyard again.

    Mihai, Good to see you up and running again. Your hull turned out splendid, even if you hid it under copper and paint.

    Never thought to go for dinner to a Greek ... always went for the TV ... Good to hear you had an enjoyable evening. And you even are working on that engine!!! Nice work on those inlet flanges, I don't know how you do it, but when I tap a hole the tap mostly breaks ... Splendid job again, cannot wait to see the next part!!

    Just stopping in I would say that with my glasses on or after a glass or what of whisky they would pass ANY macro view ... any whatsoever ... I'm so glad you resemble the comment ... I was afraid I would be the only sicko I have to remark on your faillure to rebuild all six ... a bit of a let down, knowing your perse-mewhatchamecallit. No redo I'll just need to live with the disapointment Looking forward to see the result, though, can barely wait ...
  21. cog
    Grant, All good things come in three ... I know whom to turn to to get my sawing done ... Good on you to take the step twice ... thrice!

    Roather noice! The laft froam 's-vizzibel 2 mi ... I prefer the frame in between the left and the centre one ... Left is rather thinnish and the centre one is a bit heavy ... Believing ...??? KNOWING ... a kind of inbred certainty ... Deep down inside you have to admit it ... you love beer ...

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.
