    He probably means tge Model Shipways Flying Fish kit,a Donald Mckay built clipper.

    I got really lucky thanks to this forum.I got the old Billings Wasa as well as the Steingreber Admiral Vernon for 40 bucks.Ebay supplied an incomplete Billings Lila Dan with a large quantity of nice mahogany planks and complete set of fittings.Amazon supplied an AL Hermine that allowed me to complete both ships.I designed my own bow and stern treatments for the inaccurate Wasa so I dubbed it the Ersatzia.Total cash outlay was about 400 bucks but the hundreds of hours I put in was the best bang for the buck I ever had.Learned a lot and have two large ships I am very proud of!

    I have a sheet with the rigging plan and deck fittings.I can have them copied and send them to you upon request.

    Yes that is true,I originally planned to use the Air Force decals but changed my mind and went with the airliner decals.Did not remove the jets fir fear of damage.

  11. Lucius Molchany
    Made a mold for the water closets
  12. Lucius Molchany
    Yeah the decals are lame and that balsa stern piece, even if colored in would not be acceptable.
  13. Lucius Molchany
    Well the cannon look just fine to me well done!
  14. Lucius Molchany
    Looks great!can you post more close ups?

    I did not tlhrow anything away,but Gi did raid the AL Hermione for most of its blocks,fittings and mahogany planking to allow me to complete my Ersatzia And Admiral Vernon.The good part is,I can replace the missing components and build it if I so desire in the future.
  16. Lucius Molchany
    Fairing in the side wheel covers with sheet styrene and wood decking for that "built in "look.Very cool indeed!
  17. Lucius Molchany
    Mounted up the sidewheel covers.I had to have tge motor running when I cemented them to avoid binds.The aluminum braces really do stabilize them.
  18. Lucius Molchany
    Chaining up the windlass.
  19. Lucius Molchany
    Installed the dolphin striker and painted and stained the jibbom/bowsprit unit.Now I have to file down the white metal parts and drill out the cannon barrels.

    Working up the oak display base prior to sanding,staing and clear coating.
  21. Lucius Molchany
    Masked and painted the black topsides.The blue 3M maskingvtape is greatvfir producing a clean line.
  22. Lucius Molchany
    Thanjs for the likes guys,nothing much happening but waiting for the paint to cure enough so that I can mask off the waterline and paint the black top sides.
  23. Lucius Molchany
    Starting to lay down the finish with my air brush after a coat of gray primer.2 more coats and I will mask off the waterline and paint the top sides semi gloss black.
  24. Lucius Molchany
    Looking good!

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.
