    Second shout out for Alexi Dormanoff's rope machines. I have a couple and they work great 👍 Really good people to deal with too. Regards, Pete in RI

    Neat idea Michael, thank you. Looks like a nice build, Is that the Heller Royal Sun?

    Hmmm.....good advise, thank you. I will probably cut slightly below the waterline, not on it, in order to make a seascape. Also I had better return this thread to Dan and open my own when I do get started. Sorry Dan, didn't mean to intrude. Regards, Pete in RI

    I am thinking/leaning towards a waterline display, and feel I can best replicate the limited area of copper bottom exposed with paint rather than copper tape. However, suggestions and ideas are welcome.

    Good evening Dan and all. So, here I am perusing an open Victory box full of Heller and Dafi goodies. Looking at the hull halves, I know the anchor chock/rest/chin has to go and a new one positioned elsewhere, the rigols have to go, the top wale needs widening, the woodgrain has to go, the two bow ports on each side need opening, the stern 3rd row door needs opening, the lines on the stern piece need adjusting, the "pins" on the top f'castle need rebuilding. The hull halves need thickening at the level of the decks. So, as I hold the two hull halves here, what else do I need to do to them? The big Q is do I add the Admirals entrance for Trafalger or not? Regards, Pete in RI

    That's a great photo. Really gives us scale to these things.
  25. europapete
    Or I could pull the Victory box off the shelf............

    If you can, I would recommend assembling first and sanding the seams, then painting. Push a length of wire or cocktail stick into the muzzle for painting. stick the other end into some modelling clay or polystyrene to hold while it dries. If you paint first while on the sprue, all your guns will have seam lines. Regards, Pete in RI

    Can't argue with that. I need to switch subjects after a while too, helps stave off burnout which is never a good thing in this hobby. Am thinking of switching from a 1/32 SE5a (WW1 fighter biplane) back to my 1/200 HMS Hood.

    How far off is the kit hull? I haven't checked it yet against plans.
  29. europapete
    Kk I will. While you are doing that think about how much you would like to sell the uprade kits for to the rest of us unskilled slobs.
  30. europapete
    Yep Kevin, the men in the white coats are getting their van ready. I gave them a false address but you had still better be quick about doing that hull.

    would it be possible to enlargen by different amounts on the vertical and horizontal planes to allow for shrinkage of the different dimentions involved? (Says Pete who knows absolutely nothing about 3D printing).

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.
