Sorry, I wasn't plugged in for a couple of days--thanks everyone for getting the game going again! Cheers, Jay

You got her, Joe and yep, your spelling is on the money--figured she'd be easy and fun. Handing it over to you, sir! Jay
-
OK I think this one will be fairly easy and likely give you all a few laughs when you find her name! Cheers, Jay

Hi fellas, I'll get a pic up this coming evening! Cheers, Jay

Queen of Kent? Jay

Is she the Northern Maple Hockey Puck Beaver? :D Jay

Well done, Eamonn--you nailed the ship! :) Here's a link to the Canadian and women connections: http://icyseas.org/2012/06/07/moira-dunbar-and-women-in-science/ Your turn, sir! Cheers, Jay

You're spot on with the South direction! Now consider the 2 other clues in relation to about 45 years after Amundsen... Jay
-
Nope, Jud. Eamonn, nope--in relation to your earlier guess: consider Poles and my "change direction" hint... None of the clues will be in her name but they will help with figuring out where she sailed.... J
-
Eamonn, not a bad start (& made me laugh)...another clue from your guess: change direction... Jay

Michael, those eye.bolts look great! I hear ya about the fly tying rig--I've been following that thread also, and it's got me thinking as well... Last blocks I did were with a 3rd hand; it worked but definitely would like to find a better way. Jay

Wow you're compass is great, Micheal--your build gets more amazing each time I drop in for an update! I'm with Mark on the contrasting colors--am thinking the oil may be a nice choice. Cheers, Jay

Robbyn & Sam, I nearly forgot about Sam's question on mask filters. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are your go-to sources for personal protection when it comes to chemicals and etc.--just Google a product or generic name and include MSDS in the search criteria; you'll get a lot of hits on what you're looking for. Organic vapor filters will provide a wider spectrum of protection (i.e., more bang for your buck) and are recommended for CA. Mask filters are sorta like condoms, you'll never go wrong with having too much protection! When you're not using a mask, store it in a ziplock bag with as much air pushed out as possible. Replace your filters according to the mfg.'s recommendation (usually six months to a year, with some variables). Organic filters are more expensive but in comparison to one's health, they're a bargain! Cheers, Jay

Happy Birthday, Jim--wishing you and Donna a wonderful day of celebration! Jay

Dan, the Mark (Mk) and Mod numbers specifically ID the gun ( see: http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_4-50_mk9.htm ). The additional numbers below can be for a couple of possible things: tube serial numbers, lot numbers, or re-work IDs (tubes that have been fired a lot will get re-worked and then are returned to service, usually they are marked with IDs). However, the numbers you really care about are Mk & Mods--those specifically identify a gun, so check those out in the NAVWEPS link and play with Google as well. Cheers, Jay

Congratulation, Robbyn!!! She's a beauty--you did a wonderful job! It's a great feeling--I imagine you're spending some time admiring you excellent work?! Cheers! Jay

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.
