    Hi Dafi, there`s real life action on your decks,.........looks wonderful with all those little guys Nils

    Hi Tadeus, that is a very nice built model you`re working on, love it, keep those pictures coming Nils

    Hi Druxey, what a wonderful project ! It looks like a very ambitious build. Love those fine sharp lines, and that you will be clinker planking the plug you are momentary at..... Am already curious how you will do the carving job for all those sweet decorations Nils

    Hi David and Patrick, and all the many "likes" recently, for appreciations and kind comments..... David, unfortunately I have no experience with resistance welding....... For clean soldering results I prefer gas torch welding as far as accessibility allows, the possibility for controlling the heat flow, the moment the solder melts and creeps into the foreseen place allows quite accurate work. Alternatively I use the good old electric soldering iron Patrick, the lettering is of 0,3mm thick etched brass and has to be attached with high viscosity CA Nils

    Thank you very much Bob, sometimes it`s just trying out ideas...... Nils

    Thank you Dirk, do you perhaps have a pic as an example, how you do it (would like to see how others do it in 1:144) Nils Thank you Pete, it was an idea of doing it that way, in order to get enough stability into it Nils

    update Build log part 30 today I`m starting with the forecastle railing, 8mm high in scale 1:144. Base for soldering on is a L-shape brass profile, the railing is from 0,3 mm thick photoetched copper, the soldering is done with the small gas tourch, electronic solder and paste-typ flux The brass L-profile is gently bent to follow the rim of the deck planking Nils L-type profile 0,3 mm photoetched copper railing Shaping / bending the L-profile positioning for to solder, little bits of solder every 15 mm appart carefuly handling the heat flow..... soldering done, and primercoat applied the aft side (forecastle) still needs to be dressed trust this shall be a sufficient way of fastening the railing

    beautiful made hatch / grating coaming Hartmut, Nils

    Many thanks for your comments Piet and Druxey, Nils

    Patrick, there are quite a lot of model engines (Revell, etc....) on the web, but all in too large scales. You mentioned once ..."rough guess about 1:200", for your model there seems to be a vacuum for availability model wise. Perhaps there are some resin tank-models with visible engines for kits. It looks like you will need to build your own engines, but that`s challenging and fun as well. Nils

    Classic boat building Michael, excellent , nice and clean work, love those thin frame ribs.... Nils
  15. Mirabell61
    Patrick, did you already find suitable Cat-engine blocks ? Nils
  16. Mirabell61
    marvelous work Kees, you sure know where to place all those lovely details Nils ​
  17. Mirabell61
    excellent modeling of the capstans Ed, beautiful metal turning- and machining work... Nils
  18. Mirabell61
    Lovely fitting out Patrick, the "boats garage" with the maintenance area and workbench look great .. (your imagination works splendid !) Nils
  19. Mirabell61
    sweet detail with the little rats Bob it brings life into the holds.... Nils
  20. Mirabell61
    John, many thanks for your input on the interior cowl vent color Nils
  21. Mirabell61
    Denis, it`s also for the same reason, I do them myself. There is quite a variety of resin vents with RB models webshop, but most of those also come without throat boring Nils
  22. Mirabell61
    Many thanks to Jason and Crackers, and to all the "likes" for your appreciations..... Jason, the author of the card model set was the ingenious (late) designer Peter Brandt. He did quite some thorough research before he brought out a new authentic card model. In this case I`ll just copy his color giving (buff / red) as I like it also for the vents Crackers, thanks very much for your nice compliment, stay tuned... Nils
  23. Mirabell61
    Hi Denis, considering the costs of so many vents, it`s a reasonable option to do them this way Nils
  24. Mirabell61
    That`s right Tom, and those shown, are only those from the 3rd an 4th funnel looking aftwards. With all those metal-vents the ship`s center of gravity will go a jump upwards later when all is fitted Nils

    bowsprit rigging looks great Peter, 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.
