    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
  2. 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

    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

    I think I need something with a little more kick than popcorn..... **Shudder**

    **Rattle, rattle, rattle, rattle**

  9. realworkingsailor
    Way to go Sjors... you woke up the Mississippi Peacemaker..... Now we're all screwed.....with a capital "F".....
  10. realworkingsailor
    Yeah.. that's what I thought..... although I thought I caught something about fishing too...
  11. realworkingsailor
    Hey Augie... your halo is a little bent and rusty......
  12. realworkingsailor
    And just what intended purpose is that exactly?
  13. realworkingsailor
    I can see that..... you've only got half the paint on..... Anyway, she looks good, a very satisfyingly complete planking job, I'm sure And good luck with the coppering Andy
  14. realworkingsailor
    I'm with you there Mark.... quite frankly... I'm a little worried.... I've said it before, and I'll say it again.... No good can come from this....
  15. realworkingsailor
    Wow.... brilliant work! I like the colours.. alot Andy
  16. realworkingsailor
    Bored? Us? Never! Andy
  17. realworkingsailor
    Very nicely done. I may have said it before, but I always like it when someone takes a stock kit and alters a few small details here and there to make the model exclusively their own. Andy
  18. realworkingsailor
    I must agree, she's looking really good... Keep it up.... Andy
  19. realworkingsailor
    Woo hoo! Party! Oh..... Wait..... Hmmmm..... Dang..... Well, have fun without me Andy
  20. realworkingsailor
    Thanks Mark and Popeye Sjors.......Sjors...Sjors...... Sigh... I dunno, That's all I've got.... Andy
  21. realworkingsailor
    Thanks Robbyn Admittedly, I have had worse birthdays than this... So it's not all bad, especially with all the well wishes from everyone here and at home. Andy
  22. realworkingsailor
    Thank you everyone! Arguably, not the most enjoyable birthday I've ever had, but such is life. Sorry.. no drinks anymore.. not sure how much of a party that would leave us with.... The minute something of interest occurs, I will reactivate my other thread, so stay tuned Andy
  23. realworkingsailor
    Thanks Peter, Frank, Kevin and John Peter, are you sure you don't mean a test of fuzzy focus? Kevin, nice to know I've got wabbit well wishers Andy
  24. realworkingsailor
    This is not so much of an update, it's a nice sunny day, so before I go back to work tomorrow, I thought I'd head outside and try to take a few photos. Andy
  25. realworkingsailor
    Augie and Grant, thank you both very much, but I'd keep an eye on a certain Dutchman while I'm away... I think he's added some contraband ammo to his build.... Wayne, aside from heaving lines and mooring ropes, pretty much everything else is steel wire rope (cable). Although I'm pretty sure I can still manage the odd short splice, it is a little easier working on the real thing. 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.
