    Hello Sjors. Good to hear from you.
  3. HIPEXEC
    I did something similar with paperclips. You are right...it works.
  4. HIPEXEC
    More getting ready. I just changed all knife and scalpel blades. Sharpened the rest. Changed sandpaper in various sanding blocks.

    Looking good

    Thanks Charlie. A fellow New Yorker!! We moved from Manhattan to Astoria, then East Elmhurst then Floral Park before moving to Long Island.

    There is nothing as forlorn as an empty shipyard waiting for Fedex to deliver my next model.

    Planning ahead.....what were the various paint schemes on US Navy sailing ships? I've seen red, green and plain wood gunwales. I've also seen varying colors for gun carriages. Anybody know?

    If I could only be half as neat! Beautiful!

    She's a beauty!

    Success! I used my laptop and FireFox! Thanks for all your help

    Right clicking on #1 doesn't give the choice : Copy link location" ?
  13. HIPEXEC
    Looking good!
  14. HIPEXEC
    You think so? I can't get "copy link location" to appear? I copy the link but it does not paste. This can't be this hard!
  15. HIPEXEC
    Well this is much harder than actually building the model? I can't seem to get any of that to work?
  16. HIPEXEC
    Change is there in tiny, tiny faint print? It's also not "alive" to open?
  17. HIPEXEC
    Made the change...let's see if they stick
  18. HIPEXEC
    Does anybody know how to add my new build to my "signature"?

    USS Syren plan
  20. HIPEXEC
    For you history buffs, the USS Argus was instrumental in winning a major battle in the Barbary Wars in the early 1800's under President Jefferson. Marine Lt. Presley O'Bannon was the Marine commander aboard the USS Argus and was the hero of the Battle of Derna that gave birth to the first line in the Marine Corps Hymn..."to the shores of Tripoli". O'Bannon was awarded the Mameluke sword by the restored prince of Derna, Tripoli and the Mameluke sword was adapted by the USMC for all officers to wear during formal ceremonies to this day. The Argus gave artillery support during the battle and helped turn the tide of battle. These Barbary Wars were the equivalent of fighting ISIS today.

    Hello Doug
  22. HIPEXEC
    The USS Syren will be my 4th attempt to match the high quality of the models many of you create here on this great website.. I am actually going to build a model of the USS Argus, but since nobody makes this kit, I will make some modifications to the USS Syren to create the USS Argus. The model kit is supposed to be in the mail. I bought it from Model Expo.

    Bob Here's where I've been for the last 20 months. Now 'm trying to figure out what to build next. Keep up the great work. You are my goal.

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.
