    Thank you very much Martin and Bob, I found that the forecastle access ladders will be too short, so have to find an alternative solution..... Nils

    Many thanks Ed, it`s fun now, doing the little fitting out details. The short "waist" railings are made from brass wire and -pins, have to clean up the solderings a bit. On the sides of the forecastle deck are now the the swanneck-vents of the sanitary stations below Nils this short railing is only 8 mm high and has to fit in the appropriate space .... needs touch up and cleaning swanneck vents

    good afternoon Kevin, thanks for dropping in and your nice comment, you`re always welcome.... Nils

    thank you very much Denis, Gerhard and Piet, and all the "likes".... Gerhard and Denis, for photo-etched parts can be supplied by...., I have good experience with both webshops http://www.modelltechnik-hamburg.de/ http://www.hobby-lobby-modellbau.com/onlineshop/index.php/cat/c455_Foto----tzteile.html Piet, yes, I can imagine memories coming back........, the photo seems to be from 7th Oct. 1909, quite a chilly time for a sea cruise Nils

    Very nice decoration on the sweeps Druxey, the dolphin looks painted 3D, well done ! Nils

    thank you Gerhard, the soldering will last until the ship is complete......, but for the railings I did`nt use seperate stanchions and wires this time ( too fiddely and too fragile scale ! ) Luckily I found some copper photo-etched railing in 1:144 scale and some stairway ladders , here for forecastle access, in matching scale.... Nils

    Hi Patrick, great work, To round it up, looks like you thought of every thing. How about some cool cocktail and champagner slurping gents and dames and the skipper amoungst the guests being admired for the party..... Nils

    Hi Chuck, love this pic, it presents the precision of a clean build, wonderful planking, sternpost and rudder in complete harmonie, and I feel the triangle framing timber on lower transom and side planking tops the sight, just lovely Nils

    Many thanks Greg, Denis, and Patrick, and all the "likes".... for the nice comments I`m thinking about the foremast shrouds, their fastening basepoints, turnbuckle srews, and the ratlines (yes, this old passenger steamer bears ratlines) Nils this nice pic, once kindly sent from Peter ("Mr. Hollom") shows the port side shrouds and ratlines Also nice look on the second breakwater passing through the forecastle railing. Here the bow takes a wet dip into the sea from ahead...

    Thank you very much for your nice comments Bob and Steve, Nils

    Very nice build Charlene & Jerry, you`ve nearly managed to do the Bounty in one years time, that is quite swift for such a model...., and the result is very good so far Nils
  12. Mirabell61
    Sounds great John, do you perhaps have plans or a nice picture of the "Herzogin Cecilie" although you "only" appointed for the boats ? Nils
  13. Mirabell61
    very nice build Ofencer, I presume there will be no rigging ? (masts only cut off dowels) Nils
  14. Mirabell61
    Update Foremast finished and ready for mounting to ship later on.... The blocks are all left-overs from my HMS Pegasus build The buff color is silk-finish, resin based, called "Desert Sand" (Wüstensand) Nils
  15. Mirabell61
    Thanks for your much appreciated compliment Glenn, I`m glad you like the model so far, it`s still a long way to go though....... I had a good look at your steamboat "Heroine", which is utmost interesting to watch as it grows, lovely propelling machinery... Nils
  16. Mirabell61
    Glenn, that machinery (engine, flywheels, paddlewheels) and now the excellent quadruple tube boiler station look superb. This for sure is a trip into vintage steam machining history of a great period, also the combination wood / metal. I love that ship, what can be seen so far... Nils
  17. Mirabell61
    Thanks very much Albert, Nils
  18. Mirabell61
    Super work Ed !! Nils
  19. Mirabell61
    A beautiful ship Peter, congrats my freind... and well presented with those lovely pictures Nils
  20. Mirabell61
    Thank you Martin, for your nice comment on the lanterns, fortunately my wife always askes me before things (out of forgotten corners) get tossed away, and also its very fortunate if you have a room for yourself to bunker such things Am looking out for your update progress on "HMS Fly" Martin ? Here`s a little impression what my desk looks like, without tidying up every time..... Nils
  21. Mirabell61
    that`s a smooth and fine base for your second planking Bob, Nils
  22. Mirabell61
    I`m with B.E., Vitus thats a beautiful built "Swan Class", also very nice pictures Nils
  23. Mirabell61
    Piet and Michael, thank you so much for your nice compliments, I`m glad the metal work is liked, it gets a bit tricky with limiting the heat flow to spot areas when soldering, because it`s mostly done with the mini gas torch, but it is a good exercise Nils
  24. Mirabell61
    many thanks Denis and Gerhard, for your nice comments Nils
  25. Mirabell61
    Thank you very much Grant and Boyd, Grant, trust in one more week those medical issues will be overcome Boyd, ...If I find something (material) that can be used somehow, I put it aside, together with an idea for usage, and probably ca`nt find it again when it is needed, like for that thin PVC tube, I searched a day or so....

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.
