    Kinda like the pictures of food on a fine restaurant's menu. They always look different than what's on the plate that the waiter brings you! 😕 Have you ever considered using shellac as a clear coat?

    This is a chunk of Black Mesquite. I love Mesquite in my BBQ pit and now I'm going to see how much I like it on my modeling bench. I have an upcoming build and want to use this for my keel, sternpost, stempost, deadwood and rising wood components. It's some hard stuff for sure. It's going to give my tools a good workout, offering lots of sharpening opportunities in my future! 😬

    ... all being said. Just how far would 'any' true attempt at litigation be allowed to proceed, while in discovery it became 'obvious' that no mal intent, nor any desires or methods to profit from said, used 'image(s)' ever existed? Sure, there is legal 'precedence everywhere you look, but that's not the "Be All" of the laws of our land! "I object!" Perry Mason

    You could always just paint the roof flat black, like tarpaper, then put the roof on top of 'your' roof for the summer. That should weather it pretty good and natural like! 🙃 LOL On second thought, that wouldn't work. The bird poop would be out of scale! 😲

    Perhaps you can simply modify more popular, easy to obtain blades via a rotary tool, so they will fit? Dunno, just tossing that out there. You could also just re-sharpen the existing blade via stones and a strop, just like a straight razor... Option #3... buy some thin 01 tool steel off of Amazon and make a new, better blade, harden it with a propane torch and canola oil and hone a scary sharp edge on it. You'll have all the blades you'll ever need then! 😁

    Use the black for undertones and build up layers of grunge on top, kinda like this. (Take note of the image file name)

    How did you weather/whitewash the PH? Maybe you can still do the same for the roof using not so bright colors... and a bit of dry brushing.

    I'm glad you found that question entertaining...

    Is there any reason that this could not be chain driven in the middle, 'between' the two wheels?

    "I see NOTHINNNNG!... except an old, blurry photo!" 🫤

    Make that three, or four, or whatever my current 'clueless' place in line is...

    eBay has miniature bevel gears. Not sure what scale size your gears would need to be, but 'maybe' eBay would have some around the right size.

    よくできました！ Very impressive, Glen! Well done!

    Autocad does 3D. Use what you got!

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.
