    hi kurt modelmakings been severely hampered by a new shift pattern at work......more appearances required,less time off , slightly shorter shifts. result is less time in the shop....very annoying. however i will have to content myself with shorter stints at the workbench once all of lifes other responsibilities have been met. thanks for the kind words...i hope to have another installment ready soon! cheers....mick
  13. yamsterman
    hi carl its about time i managed to get back to building.....suffering from withdrawl symptoms. i will still have to suffer this stupid shift system till the end of the year probably....so not a lot of time to spend butchering wood. i have checked out your latest endeavours with your musashi build........origami with microscopic pieces of brass!!!! and i thought 1/48 scale period ships were fiddly. respect mon brave!!!! cheers....mick

    Hi chuck The copper bolts are something of an experiment.The Wales are ebony and I didn't fancy making ebony treen ails....the copper will blacken with liver of sulphur without staining the ebony.....once done I hope they blend in...I still want them to be seen but in a more subtle way. They may well have bolted in practice as the full size timbers are 6 inches thick. Hope this plan makes sense. Cheers...mick

    hi carl must keep out the kitchen in future!!! hopefully no more injuries.....too many models to make. cheers...mick

    HI ALL ITS ABOUT TIME FOR ANOTHER UPDATE. TOPSIDES HAVE NOW BEEN PLANKED AS HAS THE STERN ALL TREENAILING COMPETED, IVE USED 0.8MM COPPER FOR THE WALE STRAKES....WILL PROBABLY USE A DILUTE LIVER OF SULPHER TO BLACKEN THESE LATER. SOME REMEDIAL WORK TO DO AROUND THE GUNPORTS...NOT ENTIRELY HAPPY WITH THE CONSISTENCY OF THE GAP FOR THE GUNPORT LIDS. DECK BEAMS CUT READY FOR THE NEXT STAGE. AT THE MOMENT WORKING ON THE SHIPS STOVE AND OTHER THINGS BRASSY. HAD A SENIOR MOMENT A COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK.....SOLDERING THE TOP SECTION OF THE STOVE I PUT IT ON THE ANVIL AT THE BACK OF THE VICE TO COOL DOWN.....AND THEN GRABBED HOLD OF THE VICE TO TAKE SOME TUBE OUT OF THE JAWS......*$%"£!&^%*(&^%$!!!!!!!!!.....THE BRASS COMPONENT MAY HAVE LOOKED COLD BUT I RECKON IT WAS STILL A COUPLE OF HUNDRED DEGREES C. FORTUNATELY THE COMPONENT WAS OK......ONCE A FEW BITS OF MY EPIDERMIS WERE REMOVED. YOU WILL ALSO BE PLEASED TO KNOW THAT MY TIRADE OF FOUL LANGUAGE,DIRECTED AT MYSELF FOR MY OWN STUPIDITY,WAS WORTHY OF THE SALTIEST OF JACK TARS. AND YES IT STILL HURTS!!!! PHOTOS ENCLOSED FOR YOUR PERUSAL AS ALWAYS CHEERS.....MICK

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.
