Thanks everybody for the likes, as always, much appreciated, and inspiring! I feel for you Mark, but mine just uncrossed from the previous PE marathon session You give me more credit than you should ... you haven't seen it ... through an optivisor!! I am so jealous of your capability to exagerate mate, but thanks ... it feels so good ... --- Today shopping ... need to get me some building, paint, and weathering materials for the CRC-build. I might even finish the pompom if I get lucky ...

Actually I would say I took a liking to the R.N ships ... a bit like British classic cars ... they've got soul ... I've started on the quad ... first breathless steps Drilling the holes to fit the barrels Need to take a breather ...

(tomorrow I read the missing pages of your build) missing = remaining Stevens build is indeed another gem at MSW. You may be interested in this build log as well. I have a question concerning the wood you prepare. How do you cut the initial branch/trunc to a smaller size which can be cut into wood for model building.

Got the quad 2pdr pompoms today from North Star, just the parts cut from the brass "sprue" (saw I need to cut two more to make it complete) It's a resin and brass sub build I might say. Barrels in top left corner. To all a very happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year

Kevin, Welcome aboard Everybody has his/her value in model building. You may encounter other problems which need other solutions. Don't be shy ... start a log. It is also the way to get advice, at least, if you want to be advised ... Besides you won't get rid of that lurking status if you do not start a build log ... Will it be Katoom AKA Kevin The Lurker ... P.s. It is also a way to get to know kindred spirits at the forum

I'm looking for the easy way out mate, not the painful ... unlike you I'm not a glutton for punishment

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.
