    Yes, artillery, please don't start on that, still gives me headaches, and nightmares!

    You do not seem to have a problem aligning it. Rust colour over the primer, and chipping fluid on top of that, I presume. platforms look rather spiffy ... but for the final top coat, straight from the factory I might say
  3. cog
    Awards!?!?!? a prize! (a pair of cloggs no doubt ...) maybe this will help (slightly) (curtesy of navy.memorieshop.com) or have a look here and maybe this will help

    Those are hughe. Try them at 1/350, maybe that will eas your sight, and cramped fingers ... It is really odd you are missing stanchions, as normally such an omission wouldn't be made. Shouldn't there be a different part (maybe even plastic) which must be added in place of the stanchion?
  5. cog
    Hope not. That wood really be a pain. I keep my fingers crossed for you
  6. cog
    clogging ... you could use these ... not certain if these will solve the problem ...
  7. cog
    If you have two, Steve could use them on the Zebulon B Vance

    In all honesty, they looked like the old small children's trains with their short bodies and tall stacks and housing ... (yes I am that old)
  9. cog
    Japanese or American speed tours ...
  10. cog
    Ok MISS don't be gloomy
  11. cog
    Walk in the park! Cabins look a bit high to me ... as if the centre of gravity is coming way up, and will make the boat instable. Are those really that high?
  12. cog
    Maybe a UK meeting for Europe once finished ...
  13. cog
    I love those details, Patrick. Well done. THe shots taken trhough the ship look marvelous.
  14. cog
    Looks a bit like a cross section from a fishing smack ...
  15. cog
    You can scratch build it if you have a ladder and two railings leftovers from a previous build or from this one. The point is, the scratch build one doesn't look like the other one ...

    The Japanese did something likewise with one man subs, same frightening thought
  17. cog
    If not you'll have a wee bit of a challenge

    I think a virtual sailor can clear the gap by a small jump Very annoying, I agree. Those detailup sets, and the brass from the kit make these models expensive enough to have them made to fit properly. Easpecially when these are quite hard te scratch buildm them oneself
  19. cog
    keep a piece of paper between your lips And now at 1/350
  20. cog
    thwarts usually, when talking about a boat, since it has a "multitude". Nice solution on the floor board. You just scared that boy off with your big ship, so you could finish it!!!
  21. cog
    Jo, This one wasn't a miss. You clearly hit it. Your wood will most likely look more or less the same as it looks when whet so don't you fret
  22. cog
    I've got the "rolling" tool, and it makes a world of difference. Not cheap, but worth the cost. Tamiya has two solutions to dilute you should use the lacquer thinner even for their acrylic, as Tamiya's acrylic paints aren't real acrylics. I do have to add that alcohol evaporates quicker so it's up to you. I like to try different paints and thinners and mix up brands. Love the JPS look, although, I do miss that high gloss of the black. The silk sheen does have a nice touch to it too If you are looking for a more stable, and versatile drill press for dremel like tools, this one could be of interest to you Website: http://vanda-layindustries.com/ Cheers

    Well done Steven. The scale doesn't make it any easier either You might want to try to "flutter" banner before your paint is completely cured
  24. cog
    I would sooner say an unguided missile
  25. cog
    Well done, take your time. Even if grandpa pushes you on

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.
