    Nice little work boat I think I shall join the crowd and follow along Andy

    What? Putting one build aside in favour of another? This is unheard of.... :P Have fun Kevin, and pick up the Vic when your back in the right mindset Andy

    Well.. according to the specs, that strip it 2" long... I counted 53 blocks and spaces along the strip, comes out to dentils that are roughly 0.030" (probably smaller due to the slight excess of the ends, so you're probably closer to 0.025") If it was me, they're really not that expensive, I'd order a set and see what you think in person. Otherwise you could be stuck doing a royal PITA job... Andy

    Here, check this out: http://grandtline.com/products/arch/ho/ho_scale_architectural_trim.html Down a bit, they offer strips of dentils. I'm assuming that's what's confounding you? (It's also available in 1:48) Andy

    That's 'cause you're not trying hard enough.... should be averaging one of those every 7.6 minutes......

    I can see it now, Sjors posing his ship in front of the room door to take more photos next time he has some progress to report, someone unknowingly rushes into the room, slamming open the door..... and smash-o... nuthin' but kindling...... Hope you can lock the door from the inside, with something secure.... like 5/8" chain.... Andy

    That's really looking nice. Great job on all those figures. Andy

    I could see Augie doing a scratch build next.... Either a Lumberyard/Hahn scratch kit or he's gonna go all Swan class on us.....
  9. realworkingsailor
    Nice.... I smell planking..... Very soon.... Andy

    Are you talking about Euromodels?
  11. realworkingsailor
    If it was up to me, I'd try and bring them down to about 5mm wide, leave about 1/2mm overhang outside and maybe just a little overhang on the frames. Anyway, that's all up to you so you can do what you feel you need to. Hey... you gonna get that Goth finished or what?
  12. realworkingsailor
    Maybe it's just me, but your cap rails look a bit on the wide side. She looks ok, but she might look even better with them narrowed down a bit. Like I said though, it could just be me Andy
  13. realworkingsailor
    Oh.. that's just a bad idea no matter which way you slice it....
  14. realworkingsailor
    <<grabs a roll of duct tape>> Don't make me use this....
  15. realworkingsailor
    Congratulations on your completion. She looks really nicely put together. (for the love of *** don't drop her! ) Andy
  16. realworkingsailor
    Very nice. *sigh* One of these days......
  17. realworkingsailor
    Gee... for all that "doom and gloom" earlier, you're not doing too badly at all.... Andy
  18. realworkingsailor
    Not a bad go on the planking so far Keep up the good work Andy

    Larger scale does not necessarily mean less parts, it just means the parts there are tend to be larger. What scale basically means is how much a model has been reduced from full size. For example a ship made in a scale of 1:48, is 1/48th the size of the real thing, or more simply, 1 real foot is equal to 48 scale feet on a model, another way to think of it, a real 1/4" is equal to 1 scale foot on the model. The math does work out. The larger the second number, the smaller the model will be. Andy

    We're like annoying telemarketers.... we'll just keep calling back...
  21. realworkingsailor
    More like twenty pages of Sjors talking... Well... Ok.... There might be one photo somewhere in there....
  22. realworkingsailor
    On the other hand, you're stating with a clean slate, so you'll know if you've missed something in the future. Andy
  23. realworkingsailor
    Out of curiosity, will this one also become a book/series of books? Among many others, it seems, I am fascinated by your new endeavour, and I look forward to following your build. Andy
  24. realworkingsailor
    I think Ben was only around 32 hours when he got to this stage..... why so slow?
  25. realworkingsailor
    Very good for a first time job. It only gets better from here. Andy

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.
