    Yep this is the plan to not cut to the line but just short and sand down till we are correct and in place

    So I did some figuring of how I am gonna handle the gallery. The Billings kit comes with a half section diagram so I used the measurements to get a good idea of which cuts and I'll do some shaping to get them fit over the weekend

    Hello everyone I am sorry that I have not been on here in quite some time but I had some life situations happen that created some difficulties with working on the ships in general. I am doing some slow slow work on her but the issue I am having at the moment is the bow section has broken to a point that I need to fashion a from scratch piece. I have been working on changing the blue color that was originally put on to the red which is now known to be the correct color of the ship. My hope is to get some more standard work on her on the weekends after the new year as everything should be evening out by then. @Sophiedog I do appreciate all the work you have done and have given me such a beautiful base to work off. If you have any tips and tricks that you could share i would love to hear as i am only a couple years into the hobby and one completed ship.

    Could you not migrate the dns to be cloud based with some fail safes in EU and USA so the site doesn't go down but just has higher latency??? Sorry IT nerd here and AWS system admin 😅😅😅

    How about doing raised sails? That way it's the best of both worlds and if you want it setup with the sails then you can just unfurl

    Hello Robp1025,

     

    I have just started working on the Encore 1/232 USS Olympia kit Premium Edition.  The kit has photo-etch, resin parts and a wooden deck veneer.  I haven't gotten very far.  I've got the hull halves together  with a base coat of white and mounted on the pedestals.  

     

    If  you are unable to find an Encore kit, I'm willing to sell you my Olympia kit that I've started.

    Hello everyone I am trying to find an U.S.S. Olympia kit that is not by Lindberg and is at the 1/232 range. If anyone knows where I can find one I would appreciate it! My co workers Grand Father sailed on it and her Dad is retiring from the Navy and wants to surprise him with this model so I figured I would try to find it but I don't want the knock off cheap version of the kit that Lindberg gives. Atleast from the reviews I have seen it's not good at all.

    So now that I completed this stage I started doing some painting and it was going pretty well I think. But then I said to myself that something is missing. So I decided before I keep going on painting that I would get the galleries on and going because I will mess up all the wonderful painting while I work on these galleries. So here is where we are.

    Spanish is as diverse a language as English is. Someone from Guatamala will speak differently then someone from Spain just like someone from Philadelphia will speak differently then someone from California. Let alone learning all the Spanish words that don't translate into English and find out how best to describe them or finding a word similar. So it could be sealer for someone and filler for another but in general that is what it translates into is something of that type.
  32. Robp1025
    It's filler

    Hey everyone so been chugging along slowly. Did some work on the planking and just trying to do everything right and to the best that I can. Stacked planking was not too hard and now I'm going to be working on painting then tackling more of the gallies
  34. Robp1025
    So are those hand made by you? If not can I order some from somewhere because those are beautiful blocks and I don't have a lathe or anything like that to make them unless you have a ancient secret I can know of lol.
  35. Robp1025
    Yea literally was reading the discussions about the average size of them both lol. Mr google is a good good friend indeed.
  36. Robp1025
    Nevermind I found the formula lol just needed to do some digging

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.
