    You are really going above and beyond on this one!You should be proud of your work in restoring it to its former glory!

    I use a Paasche VL double action airbrush.Durable, easy to clean and parts are easy to find most craft stores like Pat Catans and Michaels have basic parts so if you need parts on a Sunday when the hobby shops are closed it is not a problem.Very efficient way to paint a ships hull.I use a Paasche D-500 compressor and although it is very loud it is rock solid reliable with over 25 years of service with no matinence required.

    57 of course!
  4. Lucius Molchany
    Thanks!
  5. Lucius Molchany
    Will do!
  6. Lucius Molchany
    I still have to fill some cracks ,but I decided to use flat white as a guide coat.Just for fun I decided to test paint it.Might not be accurate but sure is good looking!
  7. Lucius Molchany
    Good thing they found someone as skilled as yourself to restore it.Careless display should never occur again that is for sure!
  8. Lucius Molchany
    Outstanding work!I wonder how that magnificent model was ever allowed to be damaged in the first place?
  9. Lucius Molchany
    It is fine!
  10. Lucius Molchany
    Yes and an Orange Chet Atkins or Brian Setzer model as well as a Ric 360/12 in Mapleglow!
  11. Lucius Molchany
    yeah a new Strat or Les Paul woukd be welcome addition to the guitar collection!
  12. Lucius Molchany
    Cannot convince the Admiral to buy both!Bummer!
  13. Lucius Molchany
    Thanks guys!I sm expecting the tax return soon so I have to decide if I want to buy a new guitar or a new kit.Tough approach/approach conflict!
  14. Lucius Molchany
    Ok I am still in the process of filling and sanding the hull prior to priming and painting.I got sick of it so I decided to cut out the cannon ports.The kit comes with metal cannon inserts but they look kinda funky so I might do something else.
  15. Lucius Molchany
    Yeah they do look intriguing.
  16. Lucius Molchany
    Ok thanks!I do not like posting a question and not getting replies.Makes me salty!
  17. Lucius Molchany
    Well with 27 views and no responses I guess I have my answer!

    I was browsing the bay and saw sevral listings for Woody Joe kits and wondered about them.Seem pricey as the more interesting ships go for over 4 bills for the most part.Worth all that money?
  19. Lucius Molchany
    The pump looks good.
  20. Lucius Molchany
    I think the Artesania Latina Swift would be a great choice.Plank on bulkhead and two masts but relstiveky simple rigging.
  21. Lucius Molchany
    Nice job,how did you go about cleaning it?
  22. Lucius Molchany
    Plus I should not have put the bulwark on because the force required to drive in the nails causd damage on the rear deck I have to now repair.
  23. Lucius Molchany
    The wife went to a bridal show so I had some extra build time.Planked up the hull but ran out of the basswood I bought on Friday (15 planks were not enough)So I had to use some left over mahogany.It is ok because I intend to either paint the bottom white or copper it.I have to fill some of the large cracks with wood strips and use filler on the rest.
  24. Lucius Molchany
    Looks good I notice you built in the camber of the deck.This one should be special.
  25. Lucius Molchany
    No I do not like it i white.Green is the way to stay!

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.
