    EZ-line is almost a "must" if you want to do the rigging without the look of mooring lines
  2. cog
    Looks to be going real smooth. Your doors turned out rather good

    Thought you were a big fan of those ... you do them so extraodinairy well Now you've got patience as virtue too
  4. cog
    glad it worked out Perhaps Nirvana should change his name to "Eagle Eye"!

    hmmm. I don't know how you light your tree, but next year you only have to hang your boat in th tree You could try a less strong led before you turn it watertight

    I thought as Roger, but it is indeed a lot of work just to make a mould. You might just as well have made it from plaster(!) I think the weave of the fiberglass is better suited to retain the fluid

    draw the line with a very soft pencil (e.g. hardness B6) you can wipe that of very easily, remask and do your colour magic. If uncertain about the pencil you could either try it on a test piece, or take another road altogether. That's my two pennies

    small steps will get you there. I'm always surprised at the smaller the item the more work it needs ...

    If a photograph is taken above or below a horizontal line on a curved object, there will always be a drop or a rise visible at the centre of the image, depending if the shot is taken up or downwards Very nice work on the rigging Messis

    when that happens it is probably time for overhaul, or the scrapyard ...
  11. cog
    just like the awards for the Eagle in Roman days
  12. cog
    BOTH!
  13. cog
    Yes, "slave" labour
  14. cog
    a bit of a disapointment I gather ...
  15. cog
    Yep, I know the site. Very informative, got it bookmarked somewhere.

    Thought you would ... spread it out ... Another holiday!? It seems I keep on postponing any advance on Seydlitz. Just finished a 60 hr working week. My hands seem to miss the immovability require for the job at present. Very frustrating, as I would like to finish the RCN Destroyer too.

    did you use the epoxy yet? I just wondered what would happen if you added the sand on top. Does epoxy stick to clinging film/citchen wrap, if not you could put that between the epoxy and the sand ... just a thought ...

    I'm not much in favour of the cans, although practical, it is hard to regulate airflow. When the can cools down, it will diminish, same goes for the pressure when nearing the final stotage of its contents. The cooling you can only partly avoid by putting it in warm water, but it has the tendency to float, and seems to popup at the worst of times ...
  19. cog
    not much to like about that ... I hope it will be a relative easy fix/repair
  20. cog
    So you can turn on the lights The rigging is just an additional mast. Instead of one you do two
  21. cog
    Well done! Hollow brass really is a bitch to bend. I might have tried copper and fabricated a jig like the pipe tool a plumber uses
  22. cog
    Is that what you're doin' ... I thought you to be a porthole piercer
  23. cog
    When possible I painted them on the sprue, or if I'm lucky, the attachement holes for the cables to the davits. On BlueTack I find it a pain: Needs painting twice to cover primer, and after that for the colour. Next time I'll try stickin' a sewing pin in the bottom
  24. cog
    Hull looks real smooth. I like the way the barrels turned out
  25. cog
    That's the way Mark. Looks like you've got a lot of down draft in your shop ...

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.
