    Beautiful model Bill, very well built! I saw many model in my career (i'm a member of a modeling club) but yours have a certain sign of careful and thorough work. And i agree with you, this is an excellent website.

    This is always reminds me a gossip in our modeling club. Some airplane modeler club came to friendly visit us, and shown a few of their model planes. All were first grade work, and we admire them. They told us that their usual scale is 1:72 or 1:48 because the detail. We laughed, and shown them our shipmodels in 1:350 scale. From that point the shipmodelers were considered as 'crazy gang'. And Mike, you're working in 1:700.
  24. Veszett Roka
    For me, it's a decision point. If you intend to build she as current state, include the stabilisers and build the bridge with modern navigation instrumentation (i mean radar screens etc.) as shown on the pictures. If you'd like to omit the stabilisers, i think you should build the bridge as an older look too. Plus, in this case you have to omit the WD40-Duct tape combo from the machinery shop.

    If my vote counts, i'd go for full unpainted wooden hull. That mahogany is far too beauty to cover - for me.
  26. Veszett Roka
    A bit more seriously: what are you planning below the waterline? Any antifouling, perhaps white or green like the original? Keep the hull unpainted? Also, some marking on the hull, like Plimsoll mark etc.?

    Keith, I feel a disturbance in the force. You covered the beautiful mahogany hull with 16 layer of warnish, which i found a happy move - i think the paint/warnish competition won by the wooden look. But, if the hull is depicted as wood, why are you need to depict the anodes as well? I know they are attached on the original Cangarda, but a bit odd on a wooden hull, aren't they?
  29. Veszett Roka
    I would cut the base plate a bit shorter and oval form to match the desk shape. But anyways, the current stand is perfect - You're the builder Mark, and your pride and joy the most important factor.
  30. Veszett Roka
    From beautiful to totally beautiful. Just 14 layers away. So stunning Capt.
  31. Veszett Roka
    Will you add crew to the ship Bill? Then hang two rope and a crewmember with tiny paintbucket here. He is just repairing the ship, so any different color and wood spot is his fault, not yours
  32. Veszett Roka
    Try clean vinegar. Here we have a mold cleaner, but it contains chloride and it fades away all paint in no time but removes the black spots also very fast - so if your sails are white you can try bleach. Also you can ask a paint shop, they have a clean fluid addition for wall paints (sorry, don't remember the name) which kills germs, fungus and black mold. This fluid contains ammonium, but i never tried it on fabric. Be careful, i think better to try those liquids on a spare fabric, or a hidden spot of the sail.
  33. Veszett Roka
    Yes, i already noticed that too - the cover was aligned to be below the upper battery. I was brave enough to say this misalignment because knowing your seeking for perfection. So i don't know what would be the good solution
  34. Veszett Roka
    Daniel, i'm afraid the covered inlet (? i dont know what is it) is mispositioned.
  35. Veszett Roka
    I cannot find any weak spot. Valery is the Professor of shipmodelling.

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.
