    My starboard gun port lids are done and as soon as they’re dry I should be able to start installing them.To simulate glass being in the portholes on the upper lids I used Testors Clear Parts Cement. I’ve gotten to the point that I love this cement because it dries completely clear and you can even use it to make small windows. It also can be easily removed from some plastic with a toothpick if you get a little messy!
  13. Unegawahya
    Thank you! I really appreciate that! I puzzled over those frames for a wile. I’m really glad you like them. They should also be easy to reproduce because they’re made from standard K&S brass.

    After a long absence, it’s finally time to convert my desk back into a shipyard! I got my Avro 504 completed. I want this one to like one of the original airframes, so I based it on the beautiful example that’s displayed at the London Museum. I got the remodel on the dining room complete!I got my scratch build of the Comet SuperStar P-51D complete. I modified this one to be my take on the pylon racer Voodoo. I call it Ghost Cat!Last, I just finished my scratch built 1/35 scale Fokker DR1. I designed this one after the early paint scheme of Manfred von Richthofen’s DR1 152/17. IMG_1931.mov I’m really hoping to get a chance tonight to figure out where I left off!

    Great looking hammock stanchions! That exactly why I made mine the way I’d did! They wouldn’t have looked half as nice as yours. Did you use a jug to make your stanchions?
  25. Unegawahya
    Thank you! Scoring the brass before hand must be what I was missing.
  26. Unegawahya
    If you don’t mind me asking, how are you cutting your brass into strips. I’m going to need more and I can’t seem to find anyone that sells them. Your build is looking wonderful!
  27. Unegawahya
    Speaking of the DRI, I just drafted one in 1/35 scale!I’m yet undecided if I’ll be building this one directly after my Avro or if I’ll be starting my gun port lids.
  28. Unegawahya
    Now that all of my hammock netting is done, I’ll be taking a break for a little while. I’m going to build at least my Avro 504K that I drafted almost a year ago.
  29. Unegawahya
    That’s great news! I’m excited to see your work and solutions for what’s coming up!
  30. Unegawahya started following USS Constitution by GGibson - Model Shipways - 1:76.8
  31. Unegawahya
    That is correct! I’ve had great success this way.
  32. Unegawahya
    I’m sorry. I forgot to say that the hemostats were being held closed by the spring clips on the soldering stand.
  33. Unegawahya
    I found that I needed to hold my hemostats with my soldering stand to be able to tie on my hooks to my blocks. I also ended up making all of my own hooks for the blocks.
  34. Unegawahya
    I’m also using tulle. I got the finest one I could find at Walmart. The only unfortunate thing is that it’s silver and I have to paint it once it’s in place. I’ve also been playing with it to get it to be a little squarer before I start stitching it in.
  35. Unegawahya
    My first set of custom hammock stanchions on the port side are done! It did seem to take me a wile to get the design set up and the materials together to photo etch the stanchions. But I really think it was definitely worth it! Now I just need to get started on the starboard side.
  36. Unegawahya
    Your guns are looking great! Do you know if your going to rig them?

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.
