    You are proceeding at marching pace with your Lady and the details you are implementing one after the other are amazing to me. Instead, I am stuck with my models. Cheers, Dan.

    Very accurately done, this little model came out really nice. I like especially the last picture above, where the distinctive lines of the Kittyhawk are nicely rendered. Best regards, Dan

    Indeed, sorry for the misunderstanding, my naval terminology is leaves much to be desired, now I understand why you need nails. In that case, please forget my comment. Cheers, Dan

    @vossiewulf, Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of the chaiplates, but I have one of the pinrail which was attached with the same system: For the chainplates, I drilled through the thickness of a chainplate side to side with a drill of the same dia. of the tube. The external diameter of these tubes can be found with increments of 0.1 mm: https://www.albionalloys.com/en/brass-tube/ . They have also brass rods, but I like using the tubes better. Here, I find an assortment of these tubes and rods in many hobby shops. Best regards, Dan

    Dear all, waiting for resuming this build, I would like to wish to all of you a Merry Christmas and happy new year. 🎄 Warmest greetings, Dan PS - my Mosquito build has been halted in favor of my ship model (Lady Nelson) and other priorities of life. But the build will be resumed sooner or later.
  26. Danstream
    @vossiewulf, your closeup pictures show a level of details which is amazing. Just a suggestion, for the chainplates, instead of nails, I used pins made from a brass tube 0.7mm dia. from Albion Alloys. In this way, I could accommodate them within the thickness of the chainplates and conveniently trim their length as needed. Best regards, Dan

    Back to finishing the hull of my Lady N. I retouched the black paint of the stern and removed the paint from the friezes and the nameplate. I pinned the chain plates on the sides: I installed a shoulder to better support the bowsprit, as seen in other models and also in period models: Finally, bitts and posts for the culverins were glued in place onto the caprails. Next, the catheads will be attached to the bulwarks and the black paint will be finalized. Best regards, Dan

    Happy the you resumed this build log. Your sharp work provides lot of inspirational ideas. Looking forward to seeing the continuation of your build. Best regards, Dan

    Thank you Robert, happy that I could be of help, both with my Lady and with my aircraft models. The decals of my F-15 are from Dutch Decals, a company in NL specialized in Dutch subjects, see, f.i.: https://www.scalemates.com/nl/kits/dutch-decal-dd48074-f-15-usafe-hawk-75-dh-82--1220448 usually, their quality is very good. By the way, the orange banner of the fins, is a colorful exception to the specification for using only grey tones to honor the country hosting the squadron. Looking forward to seeing your next builds. Cheers, Dan

    Hi all, I went on with finishing the bottom of the hull. I started with taping the waterline with a flexible Tamiya tape. Apparently, according to the plans, the waterline doesn't have to run parallel to the keel, but should form quite an angle with it. After all my efforts to get a reasonable layout of the planks, I feel a bit of a pain in obliterating most of it. I began with filling the most obvious cracks and then I sprayed a white primer to uniform the surface. To render the whitish coat of the hull, I used a Gunze paint denominated H311 Gray FS36622 which I picked from my set of airplane colors (this is a tint which was part of those used by the US Air Force in the past) and which seems to a newbie like me to fit quite well the bill. After removing the masking tapes, there are few spots of overspray to be corrected. In addition the tapes have lifted few spots of the black finish which I will address later. All in all, the result is not bad as it can be seen from the overall views: That's all for now, next I will work on the furniture of the deck. Best regards, Dan

    Gorgeous bf 109, one of my favorite version and painting scheme! Well done, Dan
  32. Danstream
    Very nice, I think that your interpretation is correct, certainly much more plausible. I will see what to do when I will be there. By the way, anyone knows where are the poles used for actioning the pawl stored on the deck (or one can assume that they are stored under the deck)? Best regards, Dan

    Hi, I affixed the nameplate of the ship and painted black the stern panels: I must admit that this end of the ship now looks quite spiffy. I finished the cap rails and painted them also black: Now only the white bottom part is missing to complete the main painting steps. To do that, I have first to finalize the rudder with its tiller and hinges. Actually, I didn't like the solution proposed by the kit for the rudder hinges, therefore I gave a try to scratch build my owns. I started by soldering small portions of brass tube to brass stripes: The rod in the picture is the one I will use for the hinge pins. Then, I glued the obtained hinges to the stern post using the brass rod to maintain them aligned. Next, I will prepare the rudder piece to be put on. Incidentally, I am going to replace the tiller with one that I scratch built shown in the picture and that I think looks less obvious than the one of the kit: That's all for now, best regards, Dan

    Very nice work with the deck furniture. Looking forward to seeing your way to improve this model. Dan

    Good to see that you resumed work on the Lady. Nice elaboration of the companionway, it really looks the part. Cheers, Dan

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.
