    Oh, I'm definitely on my way over my friend.

    You did a remarkable job Rob. Lazyguy, we'd love to see another build log of this kit, so I hope that you consider starting one. I'm sure you will get lots of help. Scott

    Yippee, its so much fun to celebrate the finishing of such a fine model, congrats Sjors. Now secure her log and transfer your flag to the Agamemnon to oversee the fitting out of that fine ship.

    The hull looks excellent Tom, I bet your kinda sad to be over this phase?
  5. ScottRC
    I agree with the others comments on your water, you really nailed it. Great effects.
  6. ScottRC
    That is a remarkable piece of history, along with the sail from Victory.

    Hello Steven, Welcome the MSW, you really seem to have a good start on the Cuttysark. I also have built it, along with all the other 1/96 Revell kits and would look forward to more postings of your build. In regards to the masts, these kits are notorious for the masts flexing. I put steel rods in my lower masts and made all the upper parts out of wood using the plastic ones as templates. It makes it a lot easier to rig. Scott

    John, Excellent progress, you have a talent with the scale details. Keep posting the progress on the masting, it seems we don't ever have enough logs at this stage. Scott

    Geejo, I prefer to use tube cement or 30 minute epoxy to glue in the decks on the large Revell models. I also prefer to glue the three sections together first and smooth out the joints and then install the deck as one piece. To do this requires a glue that dry slow enough to allow for adjustments. Epoxy won't run or harm the paint. Keep a paper towel and rubbing alcohol nearby to wipe up any epoxy that ends up where you don't want it.

    Overall the Minicraft kit isn't bad, its just that that there are seams that need to be filed and filled on the superstructure, and be sure to test fit fit.
  11. ScottRC
    The Minicraft kit has fit issues with the superstructure. The Dragon kit is better. If your 1/350 is not too big, the Trumpeter kit is good.

    Very well done!

    Great start, I had a similar issue with warp with my Endeavor.

    I have some interest in this thread as well, I was given a nice 8" DIA x 12" piece from a friend who makes furniture and am really wanting to mill it up for a project.

    Hi Kevin, I just wanted to let you know I enjoyed reading these 10 pages of your log and admire your work.
  16. ScottRC
    I love the work you are doing since I have a huge interest in small scales.
  17. ScottRC
    Thank you for sharing this interesting project with us.

    Nice repair, I know that feeling well, since I'm Kap't Klutz when it comes to moving my ships. Knocked the bowsprit clean off both my mother's Thermopylae and my Alabama. After all the rigging was done of coarse.

    Matti, Just checking in on your progress and all I can say is that it is beautiful. Scott

    Hello John, Great log, nice to see this subject and it looks like its coming along nicely. Scott
  21. ScottRC
    I think it was mine as well, and I made the sails from cloth. Went together quite well.
  22. ScottRC
    Just found your log and really enjoyed it. Scott
  23. ScottRC
    Great progress Omar, nice to see a build like this.
  24. ScottRC
    Are you going to use a shadow box, or will the diorama be open on all sides? As src had said, this type of illusion is quite popular at theme parks, movie making, and museums and are fun to build. I participated in a flight line diorama a number of years ago for a local museum and we used from 1/4 to 1/72 to show the perspective of looking out a window and actually feeling 1:1 with a row of planes lined up ready to take off.

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.
