    So we must have something in common ... you can build lovely models and I cannot P.s. You are right, my origins are not from Gelderland
  2. cog

  3. cog
    Jo, Like Sam has the tendency to mixup the letters in some words, you would barly notice it though, I have the tendency to be somewhat direct. Say it as it is ... In actual fact most of us are whimps is what Sam says, including me Enjoy the rasping and sanding. So far you do not do any worse than most of us have done, or still do ... probably you do better

    There were more of them than the bigger crafts

    Whomever said it is a ship of the line, Jan? Nou breekt m'n klomp! One should probably refraini from clogging ...?

    Which is all very nice, but how many drops of black, or for that matter, ml I can do a single drop of black and stil have a darkish grey with two drops of pale grey
  7. cog
    Wouldn't louvres be more logical, especially on forward ducts? Happy Easter

    Odd, even endgrain on balsa is soft, balsa is soft which ever way you cut it, although, cutting cross grain will be slightly harder. Take a rough file and work it down to a sandable "thickness", or a small hand saw to cut it back

    That will be the case when the unstable orientation has been achieved, she will still be an Identified Clog maybe Inverted, something like an Identified Turtle Clog

    British and Commonwealth Warship Camouflage of WWII (vol 2): Battleships and Aircraft Carriers by Malcom Wright

    So that's where I came from, dug up Interesting bits of information
  12. cog
    I would apreciate that very much. Lots to learn from you ... as usual
  13. cog
    I would sooner say it is an Identified Stranded Clog ... not much floating going on, uncertain about it's floating capacity, and it is certain it is a clog
  14. cog
    It seems you have learned some new skills. Your masts look really marvelous. How did you make those 8 shapes in metal?
  15. cog
    Can't recall the rubber band fixing method for that period ... Very well done Alan. It does look the part.
  16. cog
    Samson ... you see what thou hast done ... no more updates until cap'n steveth hast reached his final number How I wisheth he canst count quickest

    Really amazing work, Frank. Took my head for a spin to get it all in.
  18. cog
    Or what the Stones would say: "You can't always get what you want" ... At least not always the first time ... You did well Steve, dispite the hardships
  19. cog
    very nice work on the goose neck
  20. cog
    maybe use a laundry pin if you do not want to seize up on your clogging when the odor kicks in
  21. cog
    Grandson must be on a diet, he has been spoiled by grandma!! I have to warn you, you shall probably do better, as practice makes perfect. So maybe you will make all three multiple times ...
  22. cog
    You should make some sculpted pillars, maybe some nice mermaids for the captain ... should be a good foot print to work from upwards ...

    One minor addition to Mark's picture method. You may replace the image with a new one if the image in the text box is selected. You can see that when there are small squares visible at the corners. just klick outside of the rectangle shape those tiny squares form, and you can add the next. Your Jack is turning out real good, a proper flag

    That last picture, I would have expected either the railing to be longer - all the way up - or the ladder to be taller, so it would meet up with the deck. It looks like it doesn't belong on the spot. Am I wrong in that? I like your stanchion template. Maybe I should try something like that as mine wobble along the side in a drunken line. Fortunately my stanchions are way smaller

    Not something to like, American gents, do not try to compare the US system to the British. What works at your side of the pond, often doesn't on this side, same goes for legal actions. OC did you smoke or still do? I had the same problem as you had due to smoking, and had my teeth pulled as it was the only way to get rid of the recidivist abcesses I had. Lost a lot of my jaw's bone structure as well because I postponed it to long. Do not wait to long

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.
