    Yves, Still great build. Question about the sails. Wouldn't the hatches be more flush with their suroundings?
  2. cog
    Nice study, it almost looks like you worked with pastels, and ion some spots colour pencils!

    Love it Jack. Had not seen that one. Must start saving to get it ... maybe X-mas can come early ...

    Truly gifted, Keith, complete mastery of the art Couldn't you pinch the hole, and hence clamp the pin?
  5. cog
    Than I would rather have one of these in miniature ... for other purposes you might be cheaper of with an aluminum strip and some wood with e.g. an Axminster Bull nose plane or the equivalent of Veritas

    Interesting, aren't you afraid, the remainder will delaminate too?

    That last one looks familliar ...

    I am acquainted with the time problem. As long as you can make progress from time to time it's alright. Difficulties arise when the build turns stagnant ... looks good, I like the black at the bottom of the structures, makes them seem to float above the decks

    Always nasty those self moving chairs. You never know when they take off. Glad it's mainly your pride which has been hurt.

    Impressive soldering at that scale

    Maybe some time has passed, but it is worth the wait. I like the crowsnest and how you build it. Lovely detail as usual
  12. cog
    Good , you are back. I nearly started missing you 'round here. What size/width do you make your treenails?

    Breath taking Yves ...

    Keep it in the dark ... nice work Jan

    Beautiful, Daria, I couldn't do it that well myself
  16. cog
    Maybe you should go for an auto "like it" button

    Welcome to MSW, Robert. A Very nice build. I'll certainly follow your progress
  18. cog
    You can do it any faster by greasing palms, druxey?

    LEGO-man is some what rigid anyway, not an asset when it comes to steering
  20. cog
    Dick, I just wonder, wouldn't it be more logical that depending on the lee side the rudder on that side would be used, as the other one wouldn't give enough steerage way, Which in turn would imply druxey's rower (nice touch by the way) wouldn't be able to row, as the horizontal bar would be much, much shorter

    You got out from underneath the table! Did you find all that there?? A truely lovely collection of deck furnishings and furniture, Nenad. You have come quite a way, lovely detail, certainly at tthat scale
  22. cog
    Knowing you, Mike, you'll get there sooner than later. Look forward to your progress

    Hello Mike, Good to see you work your magic. Thanks for the magnet tip, I'll have to remember that one, will also come in handy on my regular workbench Yes it does, for you remove all moisture, and the longer you heat the wood, the further inside the moisture will be "vaporised", and the wood will turn brittle and break. By heating the wood you change the cell structure, and if you do it long enough you burn the cell's wall due to heat, and lack of moisture.

    But for the "loose ends" a really stunning build, Johann
  25. cog
    Yes you should, can you make a video from the way you did it

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.
