    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
  11. Mirabell61
    many thanks Denis and Gerhard, for your nice comments Nils
  12. 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.... Nils

    thank you all so much..... Denis, Martin, David, Bob, Michael and all the "likes" here a little update.... I`ve been at the lantern making this morning. I knew that I still had some clear PVC tube (for medical hospital oxygen masks) Together with with diam. 4 x 3 mm brass tube a square window was filed into the brass tube, and then the PVC tube was pushed into the framing lantern housings. There where the PVC tube passed the window it was bulbed out a bit, resembling the shape of the "glass" Nils filed a window into the brass tube push a clear PVC tube into the brass tube cut the tubes to length and fitted a concentric mounting pin The lanterns are fixed with a drop of CA (ca`nt solder here because of PVC). The overstanding holding pins will be clipped off to the right length watchout on station....

    thank you very much Carl, It`s fun to carry on..... this morning I made the crow`s nest, the lantern brackets, and am dry fitting the access ladder.... For the lanterns I have something in mind, but have to do trials first Nils

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.
