    Good to see you back at the workbench Vivian. Congratulations on your marriage. I am very happy for you, you found someone to share your life with, besides us digital chaps.

    I think I would pass for seafood on my baguette in the morning So what will you do with the other clog?
  4. cog
    Sam ???????? I have the feeling my English knowledge doesn't meet the requirements to understand the meaning behind your words
  5. cog
    Zutphen is more for tourist. I prefer Apeldoorn or Deventer. Maybe it's the Westerner in me .... You must miss "hagelslag" .......

    At least we know how he spends his money ...

    electricity for cars use the same crimping method for sockets and plugs, but it will be slightly if not a lot to big. Used it on the reconstruction of a mini's loom, maybe it would do the job as well. Made some joins for multiple cables out of brass tubing that way

    Live in Empe, near Voorst ... Zutphen. I see you swapped living quarters ... lovely region where you are

    she does look the part ... very beautiful work on the sails, Mark

    that's the spirit ...

    Nice build, Pieter. It has a certain panache. Whilst waiting for glue to set or paint to dry, you can do a Dutch clog dance to kill some time #2 if in doubt, use another clamp ... or two

    Steve, nobody told you modelbuilding wasn't a walk in the park!? Or are you, like others on this forum, a glutton for self inflicted punishment/mutilation. Oh, about the learning. You will make the same mistake another time, maybe not all, but some. I know I did ... but then I tend to forget things too ...
  13. cog
    Or you are not so easily satisfied ... Like Steve, with his railing now
  14. cog
    Beautiful work, both on the brass, as well as on the mast hoops. I like the mold with the little cut to shape the hoop. Very nice jig

    You must 'ave flattende your forehead considerably since you started this "hobby" of self-mutilation ... glad the problem with the rudder it's an easy fix, for fixing your forehead would be another matter altogether

    I am sorry to have to point out to you, that you will have a serious problem with the door on the second picture. Steve. Iknow you don't like me saying it, but you also want me to point it out ... It won't open all the way as the other door does ... the railing advances to close to it. With regards to mounting the railing: Since you predrilled the holes for the railing, you could have pushed them through, CA on the inside and pull the supports out slightly ... no need messing about

    petite, mais une grande merveille ... (small but super beautiful)

    Will you add the lights too on the OKTO? A lot of builders are adding led into their builds ... you could do it with fiberoptics ... like Dubz on his battle cruiser (Star Wars), and you build your models in just the right size for it
  19. cog
    Ai, that ain't nice. You don't get a like for that. You want to solve this I presume ... What I would do: Get a piece of wood with the same thickness. Copy the outline to a piece of paper and adjust/correct the crooked part. Paste the drawing onto the wood, and cut it out with a "mini saw bow". Cut it just outside the line, which will make it slightly to big. When finished sand the surplus off carefully. Sand off the drawing and stick it on the keel. If you want an easier way out: Correct the shape of the blue rectangle on the left side. The gap at the bottom will get bigger, but we'll deal with that later. File or sand the top to the horizontal you need. Take some scrap pieces of wood (probably there is some in the box, else you need to quickly start to collect scrap wood )with straight sides. Glue those pieces to the sides of the blue rectangle (front and back), in such a way, the sides of the scrap wood follow the correct line of the vertical slot. Do it on both sides. Voila, quick an' dirty Who said you wouldn't get value for money ...

    I know, Steven, but most use metric nowadays ... at least so it seems ... feeling not so imperial anymore? I knew it! Hence my question for metric Jo. Carl
  21. cog
    good luck in finding the wand ... although, I don't know if you really need it
  22. cog
    brilliant Frank. I am very taken by the details you manage to add to even very small items
  23. cog
    Sam, do you have any metric references ...
  24. cog
    The further I came in your log, the less obvious it became to be of plastic origin ... it is hardly possible to distinguish it from wood. Very well done, and as Steven mentioned, especially at this scale
  25. cog
    C'est une petite merveille (a little gem)

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.
