    Thanks G.L. Darn, Dutch block? I just changed from ISP, I still have access to the net from my old one, which gives the same result

    As G.L. wrote: Fascinating! Can't wait for the next update. It is nice to see the difference in approach between you and Yves though building the same boat from the same kit. It shows you can do almost anything you want as a modeller in just as many ways. Most importantly, you, Yves, RGL, and many others show that Plastic isn't boring!

    Unfortunately not visible for (continental) Europeans due to EC laws, that is to say, I get a big fat "Access denied" based on IP-address

    I stopped a long time ago ... I now thoroughly enjoy the view. It's a pitty I can't give a weighted "like", something like platinum

    Cathead, Bob said it all. I don't think I'll need to add to his eloquent explanation. Bob, are you in advertising? I agree with you entirely, Bob, very sound advice, in the end it also boils down to what you use it for, and how often you will use it. But some accessories do make you use it more easily/often

    Eric, Get yourself the different blades, and some zero clearance plates, the adjustable miter gauge comes in rather useful. That would give you a nice initial setup, I bought the micrometer stop, but that may be a luxury if you are mainly cutting your fruit tree's woodstock (pun intended) As Kurt wrote, most other accessories are luxuries, but depend largely on what you cut most, like the use of the tilt table. A sliding table you can make yourself (it doesn't need to be aluminum, wood works quite good too)

    I see a lot of space between frame #6 and #7 from the left ... you are certain you did tidy up sufficiently? A forth time can't do any harm ... will keep you busy though Very crisp work Alan. I presume thebolt pattern you refer to is on the same timber, not joining timbers?

    I'd sooner say the opposite! A creative spirit unleashed

    ANd wify will sell them off ... it does open opportunities: You get space, and funds to build new ones! OC, in your dreams, your wildest, although ... when you look at what some people pay for something which is less a lot less in quality ....

    You'll be working with a smile on your face. Good choice.

    Nice work Jack. I like the jigs and your setup

    Congratulations, Mike, do not forget to pass my best wishes to your wife and Daria. You will be a very busy man. Does she have a name? Nice to see some progress, little as it may be, it still is progress. Love that first photograph

    she's coming along beautifully, Nenad

    bit hard to ascend those steps. Have you read the remarks on balsa filling blocks by @Ab Hoving in Marcus' build log. Quite interesting finally, now we get some fresh air, instead of charred wood
  16. cog
    And how is that?

    Steven, You are really the perfect example of being your own worst critic!
  18. cog
    quite so!

    Marcus, Commercial shipping needed space, so it is not strange those have far wider hips, which implied more stowage, than their earlier versions, at least if those were prone to be attacked, for then you'd prefer speed and agility over slow bulk shipping (or heavy armament if a slow sailor in troubled times). Maybe you should take a look at the periods in which both shapes were used and might find an explanation in that.

    Nice work on the cabin and the poop deck, I just wonder, if it wouldn't be more logical to start from the centre line and work outwards? some still do ...

    When I look at the size of those benches, I would get the shakes merely thinking about your artwork on the castle, and am not surprised you'll need a brake from time to time. Do you rest your wrist, or the palm nearest your wrist on some object and just use your fingers to move the brush? A bit like the stick a painter uses to stabilize his hand when painting details
  22. cog
    You took the words right out off my mouth

    I'm glad you can justify refitting the cant frames for tilting, even for a smidgen, for I can't see why something which seems to be perfect should be imperfect ... at least I couldn't spot it I would suggest thicker padding of your pant's seat. Your own suggestion would make the chance of falling bigger and might cause different injuries altogether, which in turn would keep you from your build, and would greatly disappoint yourself, not to mention us

    I thought so, here at MSW there is a modeller whom says he builds ships in bottles and shows his builds with a match stick. It can only be a giant inflatable one when you look at the incredible detail he manages to put into his models. Hence, your cane is very plausible ............................................................... but for the giant part

    New tips and tricks. Very nicely done Luponero

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.
