    Funnel looks way better. Moving on like a freight train again ...
  2. cog
    colour at 1:1 you mean
  3. cog
    The triangles you use for strengthning ... could those be a tad to long down the inside wall ... If you bent the railing round the nail, you have had the stanchion crooked before bending. On the Smit Nederland and Rotterdam I only fixed the first few stanchions, then mount it, so you get the bend at the right spot, and can still move the stanchions around. If you want to paint it before you do the final mounting, you kan fix the stanchions with a drop of CA and take the railing of for painting

    Very rough ... sounds like mine ...

    Ok thanks. It's quite dark on the funnel, mebby add some light grey ...?

    Jack, whilst you still can get to it easily, why don't you cut those top masts of and replacce them with a brass rod as you stated. Drill a hole on the spot where you uct it off and CA the rod in. Will be a lot nicer ... you're doing great mate If Sunny needs some help to boss those rafter dwellers around I'll send "the Bitch" as reinforcement

    Did you spray paint the "linoleum" decks or use a brush? It starts to look like a (well used) ship instead of a hull ...

    Didn't help much I reccon ... She won't skin him, than he will be useless to her ... Coventry is much better ... she could also send him to the Netherlands ... on foot

    Linseed oil I presume? It does give her a very pleasing colour, Kortes

    Glenn, Thanks for explaining. Got a question, since we're at it. This is for a single led, what happens to an array of leds? Just multiply the voltage by the number of leds?

    You could just change the resistor, but I wonder if that is the wisest way. You might take a look here: https://www.instructables.com/id/Choosing-The-Resistor-To-Use-With-LEDs/

    You might have as much fun as I with the WWII Tribals ... Peter Hall has some very nice PE. Got the stanchions from him too (steel). Maybe I should have looked for barrels , but at the size for these destroyers, I wonder if you can really see the difference. Nice kit, nice gesture, al the more reason to keep at the Pearl. You may find some details lacking, but you'll probably still have some PE leftovers you can jugle with to add those

    love the way it turned out to be, Igor. Well done!!!
  14. cog
    Took you a while to get those men in the bottle - should have been two ginies, a lot easier And again a wonderful built Igor
  15. cog
    Stunning, Igor. still cannot comprehend how you got the mast and sails fitted
  16. cog
    In a bottle???
  17. cog
    Wonderful build, Reci. The hull is still my favourite, vraiment magnefique
  18. cog
    I knew it, you were out of wood!!! Now Gwen's mapple needs to pay for it.
  19. cog
    A drawing might be useful 'arry

    Kortes, Some of the leeboards (singular: zwaard, plural: zwaarden) have a hook attached to the metal rim like this
  21. cog
    impressive view, seeing her with bared teeth ... I can imagine the disapointment with the brackets. I think I wouldn't have gone for the PE version anyway, although you were forced into that decision. Especially at the spots where the bend must be made it is often very weak. Again marvelous work ... you are getting in the habbit of delivering but that
  22. cog
    Well done JP, she looks real spiffy
  23. cog
    Thanks Piet. Nice to see you have some spare time left, and visit us poor bunglers Hope you do get back to one of your buildlogs soon
  24. cog
    hear me whisper ... HMS Edinburgh

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.
