    First shape it, and let it dry to shape, then glue it

    Cabbie The thicker CA gets, the slower it cures, still faster than most glues. The super thin just a few seconds, the gell like which can take up to half a minute/minute I use Insta-cure from BSI the blue insta-cure takes 3 secs, the thicker insta-cure+ takes on average 15 secs there is an ever thicker one which will probably take a minute or so. If you use a different brand, it will have different curing times for their respective thicknesses

    Nicely done, Steven. I didn't take you for a torturer, those thumbscrews are a wee bit large for the rower

    The only thing missing from reality is a smoking stack. Love the video. Superb build. Glad I followed it as it has been time well spent. Cheers to you

    Good to know you are still amongst us, Mick. Missed your updates. Looking forward to your progress

    Most couriers are ... or plain lazy Enjoy the weekend.
  7. cog
    Yes it is again, thank you for that

    Wouldn't the brackets have been of wood, Steven? When I look at the Dutch windmills the sails' axle still runs through a wooden block which is greased with tallow ... Considering the age I wouldn't have expected metal/brass

    Don't forget your bottle of bubbles for the launch, Steve (preferably at scale!) A sight for sore eyes!! So when will be the movie premiere?
  10. cog
    No worries, Steve. Get her into the water and sail away (and back preferably) Really looks marvelous. Just a few more bits and pieces and you've got quite a museum worthy piece
  11. cog
    Jolly good, Thomas. The details really look very sharp and clear. Beautiful work.
  12. cog
    A kickass stern it is. Looks very spiffy
  13. cog
    Would CA do the job instead of the polymer?
  14. cog
    You will give him another display case!!! You are to kind! I still have a Short Sunderland in my stack ... waiting for me to finish Seydlitz ... work is interfering again ... yes in the weekends too
  15. cog
    It's usually the obvious we seem to forget, Steve ... On the other hand ... you've got twice the fun
  16. cog
    Slow an' steady mate, slow an' steady. Looking good Do you use solder with a resin/flux core, or separate?

    Have a look at some hawse lips on real wwii ships. Those aren't flat but are either roundish, or "v" shaped, which makes it easier to accept the anchor in
  18. cog
    It should be the oval exit of the hawse pipe on the hull, Steve. If you've got that one, it will be merely tracing it, and make the inverted "v" shaped oval from some styrene, approximately 3mm - 1/8" thick. I've done it for one of my 1/350 destroyers as I destroyed (pun intended) it sanding ... a lot less thick though P.s. How is the missus doing?
  19. cog
    Short movie. You could have sped a little less, you just made the fastest round in the WWII series over the DKM -GZ circuit. With enough pitstops along the way it gives a good impression of the work you have put into her ... a more than very credible representation of the ship in actual use. Weathering looks very good, details are marvelous. Can't find much fault with it ... but for the video Working on your plane truck-trike?
  20. cog
    Yesss, like the BMW Isetta without the shell ...
  21. cog
    Thanks Yves
  22. cog
    Very nice result Jo. Your Il Leudo looks spick and span.
  23. cog
    Talking about miniature ... You might have better built this one at 1:200. Planes look smashing. Deck attributes as well. I can't really see that motorised vehicle. Is that nail art?
  24. cog
    Do you have a larger readable copy of the instuctions? Well who can stop nature ..........
  25. cog
    Listened to it while working late. A lovely piece and well played

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.
