    Take your time my friend and I am sure you will overcome this hurdle. Scratch building these banisters are not an easy job. If you have to separate the various parts you better try to dissolve the glue first. Regards, John

    A great job indeed Wim, must confess I didnot follow your scratchbuild, that's why it is called the darkside Will follow from now on with great interest (your turtle ship is in drydock I now understood). Regards, John

    Adrieke, sorry to hear, remember I had to cut the last bar at the top of the sidepart before it fitted. By doing so the stairs came closer to the deck. Maybe it is the same problem you are facing now ?. (just a thought and trying to be helpful). Regards, John

    Completed the stairs to the wheelhouse. Beware, none of the precut sides of the stairs are equal, the holes for the steps differs from position, so you have to select a left and right side which match closest, otherwise you end up with visibly crooked steps. Now I have to create 4 small stairs for the cabins and terras to the 3rd deck and three long ones to connect the 3rd with the 2nd deck. Regards, John

    Good progress my friend, with some staining the split in the rail can hardly be seen since the long handrails are at the wall side. Regards, John

    She looks very good and brave in the hands of Gulliver. Regards, John

    Sarah, how do you assemble these metal parts ? Glueing, soldering or just 'klick in' ? Four decks in one time, that's really progress. Regards, John

    That's the right spirit Rebecca, if you are not happy with it then redo it ! This is a great advantage of wooden models, one can most of the time restore parts of the building. Curious to see the outcome. Have fun. Regards, John

    Great job on the captain's cabin. Regards, John

    Sjors, to dissolve wood glue you can try it with steam of an electric kettle (waterkoker), less aggresive than aceton. Regards, John

    Found that the dimensions of the Gorch Fock are 56,6 x 95 x 25,9 cm. Yep, a big one. Regards, John

    Looks great Daniel, sure you will hand her over to the pirates once finished ? Regards, John

    You really are pleasantly disturbed. I like this built, looks real fun to me. John

    Congratulations Anja, another kind of responsibility on your way. Good luck. Regards, John

    Sarah, she is a beauty. Congratulations on finishing the HARRIET LANE and last but not least your nomination as Moderator. Regards, John

    Sapelli is the hardest type of mahogany I understood. There exist another type mahogany called Sipo which is easier to handle. In my humble opinion I prefer the left door. If you could arrange to create a kind of smoked glass or someting like that, I think you have the ultimate profit of your led lights. Nice job Adrieke. Regards John
  24. john46
    Wow, you are going fast and neat. Are you going to finish her this weekend ? Regards, John
  25. john46
    Thanks Adrieke, but your built is only delayed by the extra's you are doing. Luckily this is not a speed competition, since I am not sure whether I really are steaming in front of you since you have alreay prepared parts where I have not even looked at. Only thing which counts is that we both are enjoying this built (ok, to be more precise MOST of the time ) 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.
