    The other style hatch cover that @Roger Pellett is mentioning that are used on the new US build Mark W Barker, as well as a few here one some Canadian lakers namely Spruceglen and Kaministiqua, are called McGregor hatches I believe? See these commonly on the "salties". Large hatch openings for large size cargoes, as opposed to the hatch farms typically seen on the boats that carry grain or taconite.

    How I just found this, I don't know, but I will say that this is breathtakingly amazing.........and RC even! Love the fittings, and the windows......top notch! Your attention to the minute details is just fantastic. This ship almost reminds me of the smaller versions we have on the great lakes, that carry petroleum related products. This type of ship is very close to my main interest, as well as style of build. Great job!

    Woodland Scenics makes nice dry rub lettering/numbering in different sizes/fonts. I used it white lettering on a dark blue background on my 2 builds (one is posted on here, the other I didn't do a log but will post pics when done). https://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/category/DecalLetters

    Thought this may be of interest to many folks on here. Thanks to my daily perusing of the good ol' www.boatnerd.com https://boatnerd.com/boatnerd-news-december-7-2023/

    Thanks Gregory - PM sent

    Welcome aboard Deyson! Great resources here, and even greater people! I too took up the hobby when the pandemic first raised it's ugly head.

    For my current build, which I didn't create a build log for......sorry folks...... I am almost done, but need to print the company logo for each side of the stack as well as at the bow of the ship. I need the interior part mirrored, so it's facing the other way. The bear always faces forward, so the image below would be on the starboard side of the bow and stack. I need to rotate the interior only. I tried it with my previous build, but was unhappy with how it turned out and honestly took more time than it should have. I can't figure how to do it in paint, and I'm not well versed on this type of software. Resizing isn't an issue. Suggestions on how to best do this?
  25. JKC27
    Also.....just curious how the ship is mounted to the base or acrylic?
  26. JKC27
    Wow...this looks fantastic! Great job on this. Sure makes me want to explore this as a possibility for my lake freighters.

    Thanks Andy......I'm doing a model of the Tim S Dool and they have an anchor windlass for their single stern anchor on the boat deck I think. Is it close to this or should i just use one of these....
  28. JKC27
    How do you assemble this.....No instructions provided....

    Call me crazy, and I can't find it anywhere, but I am pretty sure I remember someone on here posted a while ago about making deck lights using a certain type of nail or pin, and just bending the head? Trying to replicate modern deck lights, just won't be illuminated of course. Anyone remember this????

    Looking great! I sure wish I had the capability/knowhow to 3D design/prints parts. Great attention to detail and again a build I a following closely.
  31. JKC27
    I think I am coming along with this one now. Never started a build log this time though, supposed I could and get caught up on that! Waiting on my prop and other fittings to arrive to make sure I don't have to make any adjustments before I sealing things. I did end up grabbing a can of the sanding sealer posted above and some find grit paper too. Been working on other parts of the ship and a Spitfire plane kit. Hoping I can get this ship done for the model show coming up in September!

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.
