    I`m so happy to have finaly found exact the lightship email color, being small 14ml can of Revell SM332 (RAL 2026), for touch up work on the hull. I had experianced trouble with the 400 ml spray can in this color wich caused me many headachs at the time the hull was sprayed. Nils

    Many thanks Glen, I took a look at your mini chinese (Zheng He Treasure Fleet) junk models, and I like them very much. I am myself still and ongoing pregnant in mind with a build of the Hainan Trading Junk in scale 1:30 one day . This for example can be seen as what member Crazee Mike had introduced under (search entry : DSCN0044) Nils

    Thanks very Roel and Veszett, I`ve been busy this morning in soldering the missing link together, shall give it a primering and painting coat now..... Nils made from brass wire trust it looks good enough to fill the gap in the railing
  27. Mirabell61
    Paul and John, many thanks for your nice words, it was not so easy to get the all of the foothholes into the right position and same time keeping the railing in shape and standing upright. to my regret the etch-railing strip was a bit too short, I`m missing about 4 cm to "close the fence". Will have to do some soldering with brass wire to fix that last bit, and in smooth transmission to the Stb Stairway. Nils

    Hello, I`back again, sorry for not posting any updates for quite a while, but there were several health issus to overcome. I trust from now on there will be some more work in the shipyard..... am just working at the forecastle deck and the appropriate railing, also the bow bumpkin with side chains and the water stay. For the railing I found a quite sturdy strip of etched brass in suitable size at Ebay (was the and only the last left- over of an outrunning article ) The deckplate will be structured like shown in the pic. the railing footpoints will go through the edges of the structured plate ind in to the the already built structure of the hulltop below. the railing will allow a space where the spare anchor is placed. the railing will be primered and painted (both spray technique) before monting. Nils bumpkin chains and water stay also the dryfit for the forecastle railing. I made a card template to determin where the holes go for the stantion-feet place for spare anchor finaly all fits well connection to the stb. staircase this is what the polysterol structured plate will look like spraypainting after primering

    Hi Valeriy, I just caught up again, and had another run through your build log. This is excellent eye candy and i dip my hat for your skills. I admire the metal work and the soldering you are performing, it is showing how you do the transformation from ideas, thoughts and required techniques to fullfill such beautiful work whilst setting benchmarks for your fellow modelers. This is exciting stuff. WUNDERBAR !! Keep it up and a happy new year, Nils
  32. Mirabell61
    Spendid and fine detailed work Phil, L love your metalwork, a very fine model !! Nils

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.
