    Thanks for the likes and the visit gents I finished, OC ... some damage on the sides where me drill slipped ... got a box less (10pcs) of those drills ... I'll need stocking up for the German WWI sucker ... before I get to that one ... somewhere in the (hopefully) near future ... Ships in bottles ... now I leave that to Igor, he really is a master when it comes to those minute boats, and ships.

    I won't ... I'm not building it ... I just follow along for an educational ride

    Ah yes I know the sentiment ... the PE on my destroyer is a multiplication of the kit's value ... and then I haven't even started on the 3D printed parts ... fortunately a hobby can cost serious money

    I had some time time to kill ... (just a sample of the work ...) So I drilled 110 stanchion holes with a 0.3mm drill ... by hand ... Since work is taking over a lot of the after work hours too, you'll must indulge my infrequent updates ...

    You are right Tony, but with every additional pass through software, you loose image information. Since I am no fan of cloud software licenses (I like to own it, and not be surprised by increases in yearly license fees) I switched to software which is afordable and can deal with the high demands Thanks abbout mentioning the DNG converter, forgot about that one! Cheers

    got one of the woody joe kits, and find the language isn't a real problem. the images make a good story book

    Thanks ... I'm relatively cheap????

    seems like a nice kit

    She turned out rather well Mr Bunny I see you've got HMS Daring destroyer on your wish list ... I would have liked to see you build the former namesake, also a Daring class destroyer ... (you might add Finished to your title... just a suggestion)

    My you are at a run, love the way you use your build log, very educational

    Nice work on the rigging Mr Bunny. Dressing her up for the school prom ...

    Hughe isn't it ... Your tennons turned out good Michael, especially like the double dovetail.

    You have some very interesting sights in the US ... pitty I'll never see them ... already at page 3!?!? At the pace you are going you've finished bissie in a jiffy ... each time I am remembered by your build to drill out the doors, and with each build I forget ... (must be the age) What putty do you use here?

    I would say they were an insult to your prowess. When I look at the previous ones, they were still above average, but not in compliance with your build. Wonderful craftsmanship Cheers

    Quite so Gaetan, although I try to minimise the corrections, if at all. However, since I got another camera which gives me double raw, I am forced to use other programs, as e.g. Photoshop CS6 can't deal with it

    Starts to look like a hull with the grey paint. You might want to check the rudder's placement when you install it definitive ... just a thought

    Thanks Geatan, I am not displeased with On1 got their 2017 version, PS uses somewhat much PC resources, the other two I do not know. Pat (Banyan) isn't very pleased with On1. He prefers another one. If I am not mistaken that would be Photo Ninja. For Linux users Darkroom is a good alternative

    Lovely job Nenad. I like the added details to them
  19. cog
    you are going to do something too!? Looks interesting the "vents" , I would have expected them smaller, especially at the corners. Nice shades ... the wood that is
  20. cog
    You should take into account, that you will add a finish anyway ... the grime/fat/oil/tallow on yours hands will take care of that in time Lovely clamps, Mike

    Lets just start with a productive day at the time. It seems I am also running after modelling time lately, and rarely get a chance to really sit down at it. Hope you get your three days in a row ...
  22. cog
    practise, practise, practise ........

    Not so modest Johann. If the fabric underneath would have looked like something more in scale, it could have been the real deal ... very convincing result Cheers

    Thanks Sam, much appreciated. Especially the Inca drill ritual was rather extreme so it seems ... missed the blood letting though Stay busy ... look who's talking too! Thanks for the thumbs up. It's quite a fun build, but slow thanks to bosses and customers ... ah well nothing new for you there.

    if it's very thin bras you might try piercing it with an awl ... most drill bits will tear that to shreds ...

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.
