    Hmm, that would be a pitty, even with pastel powder?

    Looks quite good, mate. Your deck's planking looks a bit newish compared to the hull though. i know it's easy to comment ... I'll get my due when I start ...
  3. cog
    Very impressive. I wouldn't have thought about the wind factor ... would have burned myself to ashes!

    Hmm, it wouldn't surprise me if it's the new word for gay (not the merry version) So OC what does your inimin tiny bit a work look like?

    mebby switch to French/English spuds "en masse"

    She knows how to twist your arm Clever woman. There are some worht while wineries near Bergerac, especially the aged Monbazillac are worth tasting (get a driver though)

    Despite the time well worth it Danny. PE looks so much better than the poor minute plastic parts
  8. cog
    looks marvelous.Need to keep that in mind for me own builds.

    Thank you gents for your descriptive explanation. This should help me out. Cheers

    Nicely done the AA in PE. I know what's it like, the tripple AA's on Musashi have about the same nr of parts. It turns your eyes and if you're lucky you do not get a splitting headache

    Splendid idea Messis, I would take the same road, but go to Saint Emillion, and Bergerac as well, not just stick at Bordeaux. Your build is progressing marvelous.

    Received the accessories from Donna (thanks madam for the wonderful service) ... now I need advice! How do I make the slits in the zero clearance plates for the BTS.
  13. cog
    You could ask Jan @amateur he is wel versed in the Dutch models

    It looks like it's on some kind of squarish rack the blades tied down like on the Wei Lee. The hexnut haas been removed, as it will be used either on the axle, or has been stored elsewhere, and the hole has beentopped of by somekind of disk, no solid state it seems

    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?
  19. cog
    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 ...
  21. cog
    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
  23. cog
    Beautiful Kortes, both of them to be honest.
  24. cog
    It does make a difference, the rigging, Jack. Looks great
  25. cog
    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' ...

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.
