    Welcome to MSW! Your Pinnace looks very good, so I think your Flirt will also be a great model, will follow your log with interest.

    Well done Andy, really neat lettering.

    Bad doggy! 🐶 Hopefully a fix or replacement will not be too difficult. I’ve done as much to my own models through dropping them off the workbench (Trial has suffered in this way 🤐) I do have a badly chewed pair of binoculars from a long time gone pooch called Mac, annoying as hell at the time, but I look on them fondly now with a chuckle. Post frustration and fix this too will become part of your doggies litany of misdeeds to look back on! 🤣

    A lovely look Pup Chris! Envious you managed to get nearly a whole day to yourself, all my model stuff packed away for the festive holidays to make way for extra chairs and so on.

    Hi Keith, really good to see you back working on your Tennessee. She is looking very fine on that base, good luck for the shrouds. Happy Christmas and New Year to you and your family.

    Hi Lyle, sorry to hear about your wife and hope she is better soon. All the very best for 2024!
  12. AJohnson
    Sorry I should have specified which one, I was on about “R09” the Audacious class one through the 1970’s, Buccs/ Phantoms and so on. 😃

    Looking good Simon, those fish look happy in their new home! 🤣 Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and yours. 🎄

    Glad you home safe and hope you are well soon. That Hermes tribute looks great! 👍. Wish someone would do a good 1/350 of her or Ark Royal. There are 3D printed ones around, but not great detail and quite pricey.
  15. AJohnson
    Do you have any "Finished" pictures of your Supply? You can't leave us dangling!
  16. AJohnson
    Looking very good! 👍

    Great model Dan!
  18. AJohnson
    A great model and all the details you have added really bring it to life, congratulations.

    Hi Brian, ashamed to admit I just use pva glue and eyeball it! 👀 That said I think the Mk.1 eyeball is pretty good, we can all spot a wonky picture frame 🖼️ 🤣

    Thank you for the information about your sails and the link. I have the TFFM supplement now. Regarding the tweezer mishap, sorry to hear about that, is the hole anywhere near scale for Spanish/French shot?! After all Speedy did have a busy career with Cochrane…
  21. AJohnson
    I did indeed enjoy the beer 🍺 Simon, and very aptly named it was too! 😉 You must have been a good boy this year to get two Vanguard kits for Christmas! 🎄
  22. AJohnson
    That’s a nice looking finish to the hull Simon. Yes I forgot to get the waterline tool, but your “Mk.2” looks like the business. Fortunately my current build is painted up to the wales.
  23. AJohnson
    Really enjoying looking through your excellent log Tom. Your sails look very good, I shall have to download TFFM sail making supplement from David Antscherl as I want to add sails to my current build. What weight/thickness Silkspan have you used?
  24. AJohnson
    That looks very nice David, a real centre piece for your room.

    Spent the weekend sanding, filling and shaping the gun-ports and sweep-ports; this is still not finished yet, but the bulk of the rough shaping done, down to using fine filler now before getting around the painting the inner edges. This was thirsty work! The other area I have moved onto whilst waiting for filler to harden, was looking at adding waterways at the foot of the spirketting. The NMM sections plans show these, so I had an attempt to fashion these out of strip that I had spare. This would have been more realistic (and easier) had I thought to add waterway first and then shaped the deck to suit, but hey-ho, better later than never. The thin strip was sanded to put a radius on it, then glued in place at the edges. The spirketting was obviously then going to be a little high, so careful sanding of the bottom edge ensued. I have not fixed this permanently yet, but after a first coat of red ochre I have done a "Trial" fit, see what I did there! Thanks for looking in.

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.
