    This is to sincerely thank - Steve - Keith - Rob - Grant - John - Daddyrabbit - Hartmut - Mark - Patrick - Greg, ....... I am simply overwhelmed with so much appreciation and compliments and am pleased the model (even if not completed yet) is so much liked Steve, thanks for following on regularly, glad you like it.... Keith, as she is laying alongside of the fitting out quay, nows the time for adding many details that were going round in my mind.... Rob, if they wish, MSW members can book a free first ride... Grant, thanks for your kind words... John, there shall be lots of small detail adding, the command bridge shall be a bit tricky, as well as the ships boats Daddyrabbit, I`m quite pleased she worked out meeting my own approval in that scale (I had some doubts in the beginning) Hartmut, thanks for your kind compliment... Mark, nice words, much appreciated, many thanks to you.. Patrick, thanks so much for your nice words... Greg, thanks for following the build and your kind compliments along with the progress... Nils

    Thank you very much Greg and Ed, for your kind compliments, much appreciated... Greg, I think there will still be quite some updates to come, but thanks for your words Ed, I`m very pleased that you like it, and would like to return my admiration for your lovely "Young America" clipper build Also thanks to all the "likes" for clicking the button... Nils

    Update Build log part 54 railing has been added to the mid ship platform, and funnel 3 + 4 understructures have the lights fitted. Also all vents and gratings fitted. The upper platform is supported from the lower deck at both outer sides. These supports fit between two davits in order to enable their swing function... Nils foreground (bottom, left) are the boats winches The command bridge area now requires some attention I`m pleased with the progress, its not so very far more to go... the model is comprising 86 vents in different sizes must be thousands of "rivets" holding the plates together... one of the deck-crew taking a rest on the aft anchorchain gear deck curvature can be noticed here...

    Hi Greg, thanks for your nice compliment...., yes , several hundred tons of coal per day fed into the boiler`s furnaces sure did leave some enough soot in the exhaust gasses of the funnels... Nils

    thank you for your kind compliment Grant, Nils

    Hi Rob, with ref. to the ladders (brass, only 3,3 mm wide), the credit goes to Aeronautic model fittings, article AE574002. I used these several years ago on my "Heinrich Kayser" funnels and fortunately still had "leftovers" in sufficient quantity Nils
  21. Mirabell61
    Correct Joel, that is my intention, when all the guy wires have been mounted... Nils
  22. Mirabell61
    many thanks Albert, Nils
  23. Mirabell61
    small update... funnels are complete, painted and eyelets for the 10 guy wires /per funnel attached. Two of the base structures still require the lighting windows on the beveled sides. the resin based buff color for funnels and vents is of "Glasurit", semigloss, called desert sand (Wüstensand) Nils
  24. Mirabell61
    very nice work Christian, your standing rigging is well done !! Nils
  25. Mirabell61

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.
