    It seems you have learned some new skills. Your masts look really marvelous. How did you make those 8 shapes in metal?

    Can't recall the rubber band fixing method for that period ... Very well done Alan. It does look the part.

    Really amazing work, Frank. Took my head for a spin to get it all in.
  5. 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
  6. cog
    very nice work on the goose neck
  7. cog
    maybe use a laundry pin if you do not want to seize up on your clogging when the odor kicks in

    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 ...

    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

    Lovely monestary, interesting drill to get to the coal
  14. cog
    typical one-liners
  15. cog
    Is it a single or double layered hull? If double, you shouldn't mind to much for the first layer, as the second is the visible one. If single, I can understand your sentiments towards the planking
  16. cog
    the rat race is on ... and OC made a flying start
  17. cog
    Lets hope it doesn't sabotage the big one
  18. cog
    Looks good the bling bling. Did you use a small soft brush to get the goldleaf in the crevices?
  19. cog
    A long and happy life ... I hope you can share your model passion with your partner
  20. cog
    I thought sabootomy
  21. cog
    another lovely day ...
  22. cog
    Split your clog ...
  23. cog
    Well, we know your level by now ... Big Bird !?!?!?
  24. cog
    Took your sweet time answering that mate.
  25. cog

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.
