    But there is at least one big nut.. A nice paint job, like everyone says, I do like the paler yellow, separates them from the English a bit more... Andy

    Incredibly well done! I don't disagree with your decision to paint her, for the reasons you gave. In the name of consistency, she should be painted. Or... you could chalk this up as a separate model and finish it up un-painted and display it on it's own.... (just sayin', is all ) Andy

    Hey Sjors... grab a broom, you're needed in the lounge.... someone's spilling peanuts all over the place... and you've been volun-told to clean up duties..
  4. realworkingsailor
    Very nice planking. Andy
  5. realworkingsailor
    Just trying to keep you focused, is all

    It didn't take you too long to get back on the go after your mishap. Looks good, hopefully nothing more will go amiss. Andy

    I think I pretty much intend on following Chuck's instructions to the letter (as best I can). As for a building board, I plan on tacking down a couple pieces of quarter round moulding to a good plank. Andy

    I'll put the men in the white coats on standby.... Not to drag him off to some padded room or something... Just have them ready to puff him with a bag of sawdust every now and again...
  9. realworkingsailor
    I can understand.... a rare sunny day for you..(Nice deck BTW) Andy
  10. realworkingsailor
    Many people have done just that. It can look really good when well executed. Andy
  11. realworkingsailor
    May the tear out be theraputic and satisfying!
  12. realworkingsailor
    Looks like you're off to a good start. I'm holding off on mine until I get my Pegasus finished (I'm guessing another year or so for that), so I can concentrate exclusively on the Confed. It has all the hallmarks of a masterfully executed kit. Did you get the canon and figurehead replacements from Chuck? Andy
  13. realworkingsailor
    See Sjors! I told you he was up to something! Still don't know exactly what..... That Popeye can be real cagey when he want's to be.. Andy

    I dunno Sjors..... he's up to something....
  16. realworkingsailor
    Great start, and good choice for your firts build. I'm sure you'll enjoy building her. Another resource for tools that is local to both you and I, is George's Trains in Markham. Clamps, pin vices, files, paint, whatever Andy
  17. realworkingsailor
    Sounds like a typical teenager reaction if you ask me Ship looks incredible too BTW Andy
  18. realworkingsailor
    Easy.. just hand Sjors a broom and point him in right direction..
  19. realworkingsailor
    No Sjors... he's from Colorado... that makes him Mountain Man
  20. realworkingsailor
    Multi build ??! Am I missing something here? Just what exactly ARE you upto? And more importantly.... should I be concerned for your well being? Andy
  21. realworkingsailor
    Hmm.... to be honest... I think the Hobbyist ADD award rightly goes to Popeye.... Pulling a Sjors is only H-ADD for beginners.. Anyway, good luck with this next project, I'll be following along Andy
  22. realworkingsailor
    I think he's been quietly building up his arsenal.... Hiding it in vaious places around town to keep Anja from discovering it.... And then sneeking in at night and surreptitiously adding more guns and ammo to his ships.... Andy
  23. realworkingsailor
    Thanks BE It seems with some things there are definite hard and hast rules as to how they where done, but with others, there's nothing certain (and lots of conjecture and opinions.. ) Personally, I like a little variation here and there... keep things interesting, or at the very least give people something to talk about. Andy
  24. realworkingsailor
    Yeah.. I can see a lot of potential frustration is possible with something that small and fragile.... but I think the results will be worth the effort. Looks great so far. Andy
  25. realworkingsailor
    Very nice! And you can curse summer all you want... at least you can choose to build, if you so desire... **Mutter mutter** Stupid reality..... Sorry... didn't get any sleep last night... aside from a 2 hour period of dying fish impressions (you know.. lying in bed.. flop.....flop......flop flop............flop flap)... no sleep in over 24 hours... 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.
