    And I have more problems the smaller it gets ... Moving along nicely Mark. One advantage of BIG tweezers ... you can squeze Sam when he is nagging you

    Grant, must have been self-interest from madame

    oilcanning came through nicely, didn't loose a bit. Camouflage ain't half bad either

    Auch ... didn't you read up on the "Howto work with power tools" topic? Lucky it grew back on and you do not have a split personality ... afterwards.

    Een dubbeltje op z'n kant (narrow escape - a dime on it's side) Hope those aren't milk teeth, and those work

    maybe a shower will help with the singing ...

    I'm afaraid the strech line like EZ line will pose the same problems you have with the other rigging. I would personally go for the streched sprue, eventhough it is more work, you won't have the tensioning prblems. On my plastic builds I use EZ-line, but my masts are from brass, so I don't need to take the flexibility from those into account

    Do you use masking tape or e.g. carboard to get the sharp line for the oilcanning effect? Shouldn't you have the light side from the effect at the bottom of the hollow and the dark side at the top. I know I am a pain right know. It looks like the light comes from right under. It looks very real, as if you can touch the hollow

    maybe we should tip-toe on and not disturb the master, so his vains do not clog up from the stress we cause Fortunately those will be de-clogged within 350 years

    I see you have taken off in your German sieben miles Boot.

    it may even take a reboot to clear ones thoughts

    Now you can still decide to keep the covers off or on. Besides you do not need to fix the covers shut. As Mark wrote it all helps stiffening the frame. This would look even flimsier ...

    Very nice result on that scale. Your pumps turned out very well

    maybe take your foot out of your mouth, before you start kicking your shoes off
  15. cog
    If not, than the shoe must be on the other foot.

    Whomever fits the clog ...

    You might as well wait the week for the steering wheel. Postage will probably more expensive than the part itself. Nice build though. There is an RC version being built on the forum

    Looks rather dark the horizontal plane ... I am really curious to the oilcanning, can you show the steps?
  19. cog
    because you can, and you like the challenge. So get your $%^&*!@# hiney back at that table and fix it!!! You are doing so well, and sometimes you just need to take a step back, recuperate and pick up where you left off

    But wouldn't you run the risk of making markings on the wood with the exacto blade, which you cannot see with Amalio's method ...
  21. cog
    No, my father did, he spent a year in Italy, mostly in Firenze, so it is still on the "wanted" list
  22. cog
    Thanks Keith, that is most kind of you!

    Than you have some nice wood waiting for you. I have actually no wood at all presently, and after my next plastic build I will have a go at a Ventian Gondola for which I have the drawings from Gilberto Penzo. I do not yet know what wood will be appropriate. Still lots of time before I start

    ... smoke room, they used to smoke their pipes as I recall from "Het fregatschip Johanna Maria" ... maybe ... the "wooden fregat shoe" would be an applicable ship type for your build
  25. cog
    Beautiful. Even if you have a limited choice of wood, the waltnut does look very nice. Interesting, the insert in the masthead

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.
