    Thanks Adrieke, still a lot of painting to do and even some rigging (rigging is not my favourite). Thanks Wim, apparently a lot of various skills are required for modeling, enough challenges to keep us busy. Regards, John

    Working now on the machine room steam stacks and the turnbuckles. The bow mast, central mast and stern mast turnbuckles are on picture 66 of the photo instruction book numbered 203, 202 and 204 respectively. On the parts list they are numbered 202, 203 and 204. On the 1:1 drawing the numbering is 200, 203 and 204. This all looks more a kind of Sudoku than helpful instructions Regards, John

    Adrieke, learnt this at the time from your log on MSW 1.0 (in your rebuilt of the log it is now post #13) . Have placed the main stacks, my riverboat now feels like a real king. Regards, John
  11. john46
    In fact, i didnot look ahead, but just reading Adrieke's log who painted the main stacks in an early stage, so I was already made aware of this. Regards, John

    Have sanded the mainstacks a bit conical to the top (it can hardly be noticed), the three rings differs in diameter. Regards, John
  13. john46
    Thanks Adrieke, In the meantime I have the eyebolts placed right above the rings. The 1:1 plan is very obvious about that. Drilling in the ring should not be an option to me, since I have not the means to do so. (lucky me) Regards, John

    Yep, there is a lot of painting to do, nice job Mick. Regards, John
  15. john46
    Hi Mick, yes indeed the brass rings are pre made, so no joins to disguise Regards, John
  16. john46
    Thanks Sjors, just wait and see Regards, John

    Thanks Jim, the mainstacks are the eyecatchers indeed. Regards, John
  18. john46
    The accessories to form the main stacks are painted. Will apply one layer of varnish to protect the paint. Regards John

    Thanks Wayne and there is still plenty work before finishing her. I really like it. Regards, John
  20. john46
    Thanks Mick, Yes, there are a lot of wooden board on the outside of the King of the Mississippi as well. They are ment to support the decks as well as carrying the railings. Or is this not what you mean ? Regards, John
  21. john46
    That is for sure a very nice gift Sjors. You give each others presents where you both have the benefit from. Very smart Regards, John

    Hi Adrieke, To me the choise is simple, there is no 1x2 sapeli in my kit Regards, John
  23. john46
    Thanks Mohamad Thanks Carl, as a matter of fact I had to steel this valuable towel, the admiral is not missing it (yet) . Regards, John
  24. john46
    Very nice Sjors, hope you will exclusively use the tools, not the kit. Regards, John
  25. john46
    She looks fine Adrieke, well done. 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.
