Garward, to be honest, it is not my idea. Picked this up from a builtlog on MSW 1 by Drake, so all credit to him. Regards, John

Hi Garward, The grid is created by carving the acetaat, painted black and wiped off the black paint so it remains in the carves only. Take a look on the first page of my built log, there are some pictures how it is created for the doors of the machine room. Using mm paper to keep the carves in line. Now using a cotton swab instead of a brush which works more cleaner. Best regards, John

Thanks for your kind words and advice Wim. Will use this putty only at places hard to see like I have done now. (normally speaking one does not look up from the bottom, it is just that I want to have it tight fitted).

Thanks Sjors, I knew something was wrong, but could not find out what. . . In the meantime have fitted the windows and door to the curved walls of the state-room. There are neither window nor door frames which I donot like. So used mahogany 0.6 mm to create a kind of frame. Regards, John

Great Lighting Adrieke, done a fantistic job. When I see those lights coming out of the stateroom I got the feeling : "where's the bar, a double scotch please". Regards, John Sorry, should be a double bourbon. . . .

Sjors, Bought special beer for this purpose, do not know what happened, but the beer did not reach its destiny Looking at the King noted that the 2nd and 3rd deck not perfectly fit to the top of the boiler/machine rooms and state-room. Used some putty to get a better look. Regards, John

Nice progress Adrieke, it looks very neat. If you connect a generator to the paddle wheel, you have a selfpowering lighting device by turning the wheel . John

Hi Adrieke, Indeed will be fun to place the railings, however after consideration it looks more convenient to do the railings as last part of the build and do the 3rd deck state-room, wheelhouse, deckfourniture and masts first. By the way, how is your father doing ? Regards, John

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.
