Like those details on your ice cream maker (... selling cones???) That visor at the cabin's entrance at the rear ... hope you enlist short people ... or are you drafting the oldfashioned English way? About your B&W colour scheme ... great idea! All those bright colours used nowadays are so tiring to the eyes, besides retro is good Keep it up mate

The ebony ... couldn't you use a longer plank. Like this you miss leverage to follow the strake. Furthermore, you cannot file/sand/cut it into line for the other side won't line-up. Nice chalenges again

I've been reading your last updates. Looking good. Just one thing I came across a few times. You use CA to fix some parts of the rigging (like e.g. ratlines). As far as I learned and know CA will eventually deteriorate the threads, thus in time your rigging will break/fall apart at those spots. Usually white glue is applied (often diluted) Please correct me if I'm wrong

Good solution. I could not see you painting awaytiny specks/dots on the hatches, at least not 146. Sometimes you need some time off to refresh your perspective. Looking forward to more updates

Michael, A question comes to mind: Are your engine's cooling passages wide enough to let pass the required quantity of coolant? When I look at the scale of the engine and its visible coolant passages and the now 'discarded' coolant piping it does make me wonder if your new setup will work. Making pipes biger won't solve the issue when it slows down due to a funnel caused by the entry in the engine/cylinderhead

Barrels look marvelous. Shouldn't there be something like a lashing to avoid them moving around ...? -
Nice work on those pristine barrels ... hmmm pristine: a bit unused for the place you put them. I miss a bit of denting, some nicks and scratches ... maybe you should have your kitten play with them a while, and though it is certainly a health hazzard, don't lash them to get the authentic look. Stow them after the maiden voyage Love the decals, they do make a huge improvement over a plain barrel

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.
