    Jolle l was looking at your build with the davit arms, you were saying you couldn’t get your idea with pulley system to work on open steam launch, l did clock through looking at original photos of ship, that this particular set of davits are heavier and taller than the rest, am sure the height turns out to be about level with hand rails on bridge wing, would just mean extending them 👍 makes sense for these to be heavier and taller due to weight off this boat with steam engine fitted, hope this is off help to you 🤛

    Happy New Year Herby, model is coming on a treat, feels good at this stage doesn’t it, just that feeling of it’s about there 😂 You can certainly see the difference on the port propeller after profiling it, feel it’s a shame Pontos don’t do a better quality prop or resin parts, think they could raise their standards in this department, the rest of their set is quality. Just been looking at Jolles build log as well, another treat 👍 building these Mikasa ships are some amount of work for sure. Doing great job, keep the posts coming 🤛

    Happy New Year Jolle, see you have been busy, have to say the figures and how you portray them is truly inspiring, really brings the model to life, does take a while and a certain determination to do all these figures, but you do get a lot of satisfaction in the end results. Bet you’re starting to see my point about joining the Mikasa build club, only the ones who build it with the detail sets can appreciate the time and effort put in, so to all you builders, well done guys, Jolle yours is coming out at top of class 🤛 keep it coming 👍

    Definitely looks like a used warship, going to look so realistic, enjoyed this part of build when you see it all coming together, very satisfying. Half the size of Bismarck and twice the work 😂 will make the next project much more relaxing for sure. Best wishes and heath to everyone for New Year 🤛

    Looking Brilliant Jolle notice how painting to look like wood gives more depth to the finished boat 👍 both look really nice and can agree with you on painting ropes on the outside as a game of patience and a steady hand, beginning to look like she’s not far away from completion 🤛 You’ll be proud of this when it’s finished and rightly so. Other week l managed to buy some nice hardwood for top part of display cabinet for my own Mikasa , so shall be getting in contact with my joiner friend to get this made, be clad when it’s fully closed in and don’t have to dust her, far too fragile. Have a great Xmas and an even better New Year when it comes and thanks for all your help and encouragement 🤛 🔔🍻

    Love how you pose the figures Jolle, they all look like they are actually doing something, works a treat, your detailing is brilliant and your painting skills amazing, doesn’t leave much room for improvement does it 😂 very impressive skills make for a very impressive model 🤛

    Thanks for having a look Nirvana, new there was issues with the hull back when kit was released, and when l purchased it and looked at the hull line especially at the bottom aft was quite obviously not the right appearance, it was only when l started marking of the hull plating and becoming familiar with the flat bottom layout that l decided to fix this, never done this before so just winging it really, like a cat, seem to have landed on my feet 😂 well that’s the worst part improved so my confidence is better now, think l am going to enjoy moving forward, all be it at a slow pace. Thanks again Jeff.

    Thanks for that Jolle, shall investigate both, if l had known Micromaster did this would have ordered them last week, just ordered the main turrets from them in the right configuration for Bismarck on commissioning day, that’s my Xmas press from Jaqueline, be a test of will power not opening this till Xmas day when they arrive 😂 thanks again Jolle. 🤛

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.
