    I meant the bottom of the keel. Looks still "uncopperd".. I wouldn't mind thse temperatures in Cyprus, but those are a disaster here - high humidity
  3. cog
    Looks like you haven't finished quite ..., nevertheless it looks amazing, and so clean ...
  4. cog
    very nice plugs to work with. Look forward to the next phases
  5. cog
    I was wondering how you managed to get the dials so realistic. Very nice decals. Are those includd in the kit or with the detail up set?
  6. cog
    More like 8 fingers Will a pat on the head do too?

    Hello Ms Bleeding Kitty Cat, Wonderful job, especially for a first time. The tips of your fingers will get tougher, it all takes time, like the ease of work you will gain with every laid plank. Keep your spirits up Cheers

    Ed, It might be the pontos brass. I've got some from Eduard, which is still shiny and bright, whilst the pontos looks very poor (your used penny) both 2+ years old

    Must clean me glasses

    Maybe not a strategic threat, but it would have been something which would have to be taken into acount, very seriously. As Bismarck and Tirpitz did cost resources which could not have been deployed elsewhere, so would Graff Zeppelin, maybe even more since it would potentially bring airplanes in range of allied targets which hitherto were not

    Ah, well. you have to pick a choice on the anchor chain, would have been interesting to see the double capastan, as you stated, on the other hand, it looks to me that the breakwater has been moved forrard ... It seems I can also turn to you for travel information if I add to my travell list Europe isn't that boaring, but as you wrote about the States, you need to know what to go for and what not. Personally I tend to give travel agencies a very wide berth.

    Looking forward to your next build Ed (glad I didn't rename you )

    Welcome back Dan. A pitty you didn't enjoy your trip to the fullest. Most river trips are done by geriatrics in Europe ... Ok, America scratched from my list ... that leaves Canada to be explored

    She turned out to be a beautiful model. i like the unpainted PE

    Depends on your steady hands ... Very fine view Steve. The railings look real spiffy very well done. Although, I am still looking for those touch ups ...
  16. cog
    Yes, you turned her into a real rust bucket. Missed a few spots though ...
  17. cog
    Yves, he puts it outside in the rain and the sun Oi, I have been a bit to lenient with you off late ...
  18. cog
    It seems I do not have to retype my response as the previous posts state my findings. I do hope you will get the railings up soon for this geriatric with his 4x4. Lovely work Steve Cheers

    Another marvelous build from the Paddy Yard. You really know how to build them mate. Love those compartments on the sides for the toys ...

    If I used my eyes, Jo ... well it is more something like a "Fingerspitzengefühl" what you will be missing after sanding according to your writings Everybody improves, even I did, although not noticeably There is just one dilemma where are the photographs ...?
  21. cog
    Vinyl makes it bounce around, like any other hard floor. You should put a sheet on the floor, at least you've got a chance finding it in the spot where it dropped.
  22. cog
    Jo, Ulises is right. Maybe not at once with your first build, but that's the beauty of it all, you can go on to your next build and know things will get easier, and we can see you improve with every plank you shape
  23. cog
    Can't imagine, to expensive, takes to long (another trip for them to get galvanised), whilst at sea a paint bucket is at hand, never seen a "galvaniser bath" at a ship ... the whole process is a pain to execute on board, with all the different stadia, I don't know about the cold method which we can use now, but I know it isn't as good as the hot tub and wonder if it was available at WWII yet
  24. cog
    Thanks mate

    Anywhere they sell model railroad materials, Greg. A lot of brass rods, and tubing is used in that. BNA Models downundah has them, just checked their site

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.
