    Thank you Bill. I never user Vallejo acryllics, but will give them a try. Usually i paint with Humbrol enamels and Tamiya acrylics. I like washing with natural thinners, mostly artistic refined turpentine.

    Very good looking anchors Bill. What colors did you use for the wood?

    Congrats Chris, she is really a masterpiece.

    Hi Richard, The servo will have other duties as well? I mean like the following: if the rudder reaches 3/4 of its way, a contact point turns the thruster motor on. In this case i'd use reed (magnetic) relays for switch the motor on-off, and a tiny magnet for trigger.

    Definitely do the rigging. You made the ship with great detail and weathering, must add rigging not just for accuracy but this add life to the model. I would use an elastic thread, easy to work with it.

    Following you Keith.

    Jewelry work Bill, beyond impressive.

    Hi Patrick, how the keel will be installed? It will be an addednum after the planking, or will it be the first?
  10. Veszett Roka
    Look gorgeous Bill. At this scale it is totally good, don't hesitatae to use or not.

    They were used cleats and bollards.

    Hi Dave, I built my Vasa some 30 years ago with superglued ratlines, because i found the knots in 1:144 scale way too big. They didn't failed at all. So i think i will follow that path on my Pamir too.

    I'd marry her! 😊

    Sometimes i have a feeling that we were sailing together in the past Except we had only 3 canvas, and one of them is the Spinnaker, the rest is so familiar.

    Again and again: no words for express my admiration of this model.

    Here in Budapest 13 Celsius, 55 Fahrenheit was the peak. In morning it was 5 C 41 F. Pretty warm though, the usual should be around -2/28. Wish you guys Merry Christmas!

    Let me guess Valery, this is another model from you? Looks like a second class torpedo boat from a battleship, i seen similar boats on Panteleimon/Potemkin and Retvizan.

    Keith, Eve is a lovely boat for a lovely owner! My concern is the keel, what material it is? If thats wood, you might want to add some ballast to its bottom, to avoid capsize and tears. I did not said anything, if thats a piece of tin or something. I will try to dig up my heritage 'scharenkreutzer' from 1946 to make some pic.

    Braided ropes still in use today, although not hemp but nylon, and not only 3 line but 6 or 8. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.americanrope.com%2Fpub%2Fmedia%2Fcatalog%2Fproduct%2Fcache%2Fd3ceb0298ce06b26d9e80afba584030f%2Fa%2Fn%2Fanchor_rodes_8strand_800_6.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.americanrope.com%2Frope%2Fanchor-rodes.html&tbnid=X6vJkL8Iieeh1M&vet=12ahUKEwi6tfas2_j7AhX087sIHcoGCcQQMyhaegUIARCMAQ..i&docid=50IWRblxZN8tqM&w=300&h=300&q=historical braided anchor rope&client=firefox-b-d&ved=2ahUKEwi6tfas2_j7AhX087sIHcoGCcQQMyhaegUIARCMAQ

    Hi Keith, doubled jib sheets aren't unusual on racing yachts. Primarily it is for adjust the shape of the jib (the luff) by modifying the tension point, but it also helps to change tack faster.

    Very well done Fuji, great looking ship. As she wear the US flag i believe they are on expedition somewhere near Key West National Wildlife Refugee
  22. Veszett Roka
    Excellent work Burma. I can smell the light wind and hear the ship "speaking"
  23. Veszett Roka
    Thanks Valery, i thought something similar. You're a man who wrote my nickname correctly For the community who don't understand hungarian: Veszett Róka meaning 'rabid fox' and i got this nickname ..phew, more than 30 years ago. Valery wrote Róka with special character ó
  24. Veszett Roka
    Privet Valery, Just for curiosity, how did they swing the guns in casemates? The wires which holds the cover plates will interfere the moving gun, did they remove that wire in wartime?
  25. Veszett Roka
    I like it especially for that taste. We are different, and this is what i love a lot in this site: No one say that 'this is a crap' or 'Laphroaig just for idiots' just that 'it is not in my tase'. Respect, Marc

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.
