    I dilute Model Air slightly, Butts, even if it is stated to be ready for use, I'd rather be safe than sorry, building up layers is easy ...

    look at the image's subtitle: Wei Lee from Taiwan. I have to admit it is rather hard to see at first glance, especially when you see something unusual in the image

    Steve, I'm drooling ... marvelous build ... I would expect the screw on the deck to be fixed so heavy weather wouldn't make it run on the deck. Come to think of it, it may be on top of an axle like mount and fixed as if on the prop shaft ... you need to find out unfortunately I can't help you out just now

    Marvelous Pat. What did you make the lever from, rod or sheet brass?

    I know that match, IgorSky has the same blow up one he uses in his SIB build logs. About a meter in length! Very lovely detail at that size Steven!!

    I couldn't make a stepped or straight stern either from the painting. It culd be either. However, I would go for the stepped version as I like it estatically ...

    Won't be easy, but attach one end to a fixed point or if you have the possibility to fix both ends you can do that. Than wind the thread around the "stay". Bloady nuiscance, and it takes a lot of time, but that's what I would do.

    Michael, A saddlers awl ... I would have gone for the diamond shaped awl blade it gives your stiching a better look, and is easier to pull double threads. That is, however, a personal preference. It is also advisable not to pierce all the holes in both pieces but in one as one sheet of leather may strech more than the other which could give you ugly wobbles. However, having written that, if you have it from the same hide, you will probably not encouter the latter. I like the colour combination

    Beautiful Kortes, both of them to be honest.

    It does make a difference, the rigging, Jack. Looks great

    You really think so mate? They are nice 'n tight, lovely straight lines, no wobbly bobbly ... Giv'n the attension you 'ave given 'er so far, t-is about the only choice you've got left for the stan'in' riggin' ...

    Those woodendecks make such a difference on these models ...
  13. cog
    I like air above a boat, shows it's relative smallness, and it does not look cooped up
  14. cog
    it's for you other build ... should/could have known.
  15. cog
    Ah, the fun stuff starts ... finally
  16. cog
    looks like the rigging is reasonably straight forward, and doesn't interfere with building at deck level
  17. cog
    rigging ... will you be using EZ-line or something equal?
  18. cog
    rightclick on them and select delete or doubleclick and press the "Delete" key NIce work on the galleys
  19. cog
    thank you wefalk, well phrased
  20. cog
    very flashy, even in black
  21. cog
    hms victory example and another There you are wrong Rob, for then the model should be painted accurately as well. It's up to the builder in my opinion, which has nothing to do with "show-boating" as you call it
  22. cog
    glad you discovered your "error" with the knees in time. Beautiful workmanship again on the wooden parts. How did you "solder" the hatch rings? It looks almost like welding when I see the clip on the scisors ...
  23. cog
    Sorry to hear that Pat. My sincere condolences
  24. cog
    darker is dull, lighter more contrasting. It depends on how you want to show her - the ship in total - and how much you want to have singular parts stand out. When I look at the metal work against the wood, the ropes from your hammock nettings ... you need to look at the bigger picture and look at it from a distance, not from close up. Very impressive though
  25. cog
    IT and directives in gov'ment hands makes me sick ... I could go on and on about it, but I'd rather see that worm take shape.

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.
