    Steve, Good luck with the surgery. take care of those hands!

    Steve, Draught numbers are usually in roman numbers, hence Denis' remark, and are usually placed straight (90degree angle) on the waterline ... unless it is build by you. I checked the first picture in the build log. I do need to look for such a print shop here. Could use some draught numbers for my plastic builds.

    I lost sight of you, sorry Jesse, should have gotten in touch. Glad you are back at the table, and as the spinach man wrote marvelous anchors, quite an improvement

    Sounds promising Steve. I don't think with your background, you will be having much problems. Look at it as just another one of your architectural models/mock-ups, for which you have to make some parts yourself as those are unavailable. Clean up is good, Legodude can do some work finally

    Well, Steve, damage repaired, ready for the next ... build. What is on the list?

    Cabbie, BSI has an accelerator too, so if you want to have some fun ... nothing to stop you
  7. cog
    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.
  13. cog
    Yes it is again, thank you for that
  14. cog
    Marvelous result for a build well done, Marcus. Congratulations

    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
  16. cog
    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?
  17. 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
  18. cog
    Jolly good, Thomas. The details really look very sharp and clear. Beautiful work.
  19. cog
    A kickass stern it is. Looks very spiffy
  20. cog
    Would CA do the job instead of the polymer?
  21. 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
  22. cog
    It's usually the obvious we seem to forget, Steve ... On the other hand ... you've got twice the fun
  23. cog
    Slow an' steady mate, slow an' steady. Looking good Do you use solder with a resin/flux core, or separate?
  24. cog
    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
  25. 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?

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.
