    Canada health care is ranked by UN as 26th out of 30 "advanced" countries somehow we are ahead of US at 27? it hit home during Covid when ICUs were stressed. Ontario has 14 million people and 2400 ICU beds. Our neighbor NY State has 19 million people and 24,000 ICU beds Old, decrepit system with layers of bureaucrats

  4. rookie
    Great to see you are OK. Incredible work as usual.
  5. rookie
    Wow! You are very smart, Bro. Thank goodness I spent my career in software 🤔
  6. rookie
    ok so the && is boolean "AND"
  7. rookie
    If I understand teh "&&" comment does that denote variable names? The "if" may interpret the name without those as a constant so the If can never be satisfied but the compiler may not think it is a mistake just a guess

    you are getting good at that Arduino coding

    on my davits I used copper wire wrapped around the davit to simulate the metal bands on the real Morgan and drilled holes in hull on each side. then I epoxied the copper to the davit and into the hull I posted photos on Sept 20 that shows the wires around the davits

    This is the same size as your Lion? Is that not 5 feet long? That's a lot of oars

    thanks the davits are 3 pieces of wood laminated together using a curved pattern of small nails as a template all 10 of them
  14. rookie
    Made some progress recently i decided to attach the boat davits, etc so I can set up the chains in correct spots i have been perusing photos of Morgan since Latina drawings are really not well researched as far as I can tell going to put as much detail on hull before copper since I am worried about damaging copper while adding all the attachments to outer hull I also added chain to bow sprit and some other blocks at bow

    Valeriy I just started looking through this build log. Absolutely stunning work! The metal working skills are amazing. It must be satisfying to know people will be enjoying looking at these models decades from now.

    Most of the images say "no photo description available" although some pictures in the text seem to be OK Like the subject on this one - forgot Canada had aircraft carrier in the distant past

    Looks great! If it does not work out, you may have a future as a hand-model

    Hi Tom I missed the 1/96 part that is pretty small Colin
  19. rookie
    Yes the helm is awkward I ended up buying a brass wheel from UK that had to be assembled The AL Kit has a completely different helm attached to deck like 'normal' helm

  21. rookie
    Minor progress report on storm shelter Also started the skylight
  22. rookie
    Thanks Tom I had done the stern lettering on an inkjet printer and the black background comes out pale (almost purple) Perhaps I will try it again and crank up the dark setting (I think that is possible) Ian, I am not sure about letter size. On this scale the letters are tiny I have poked around a bit on Google
  23. rookie
    Looks great! May I ask how you did the lettering? It looks impossible to paint; I was looking around for letters or somewhere to do a label
  24. rookie
    that is some high-end Meccano....
  25. rookie
    This is Canada Everything is more expensive.... That is how Canadians like it, apparently 🙄

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.
