    Bend it ... Did(/could) the old masters bend such a piece? Maybe better to find a nice piece of wood with a stunning flowing grain, like a 'trained' tree ...?

    You could use brass tubing like http://hobby.uk.com/materials/metal/round-brass-tube.htmlYou should taper the tube however.

    Stunning Michael. You mentioned 'press fit' ... how much pressure do you use to push them in?

    I'd rather have 'Van Nelle' coffee if you've got any ... I presume you're preparing for the 'jump off' for version 2.0

    Very snuggggg... perfect fit (missing the goldleaf however ;-) )

    Looks marvelous. The airplane has the exploding effect

    You could use masking liquid at the border and tape for the wider part ... I know with water colour painting masking liquid (very sirupy, almost a paste) is used a lot ..

    Well thouhgt through Mark. Good to see you took the drawing. Sometimes a picture can say more than a thousand words, but sometimes it puts you on the wrong foot as it did with vs 1.0 In todays day and age you really have to be sharp using images with all the scanning, retouching, etc

    It could be a bit morepronounced, but thta's based on an image(!) In reality it may be enough ... It also depends on the state she was in at the time

    I think Gwen does have a point Piet. Goldplate would make it really shine!!! The cherry on top
  17. cog
    Well done Piet, you show some fine craftmanship. Nice detail too

    Bill Looking good, I like your plankbender. I'll be following your build with interest

    Mark, So far you haven't given me the impression you 'overthink', you (merely?) think things through - rather thorougly though.

    Michael, Looks stunning, as all your metal working has been here at MSW so far. I presume you make it a runnung engine ... any reason for using brass instead of iron, aluminium, etc?
  21. cog
    Mark (or is it Muad'dib now ), I thought she sailed the wet oceans, not those off planet ...
  22. cog
    Looking better and better. What about boring (?) ... we've got some elevation on deck!
  23. cog
    mark I like Keith's representation, like that you're nearly finished!
  24. cog
    Looks like a present coming out of the paper wrapping

    Adrieke, I recon it's a large hull and the white part doesn't look bad from here. Probably up close it looks different (as always)

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.
