    Yep - those are exactly the same type of lifts we had in the shop I worked at. They are really quite safe as long as the pads on the lift arms were positioned correctly. We used to park cars like that whenever it was going to snow enough that the lot would need plowed - much easier to plow a half - full lot. Those lifts are hydraulic - each one has its own motor & pump. Mark

    Thanks Bob - I think I would just as soon tie ratlines all day than rig guns. The blocks are 2.5mm from Syren - I just can`t work with anything smaller than that. Mark

    Update - poop deck on & planked. The cap rails were added & the carronades were finally finished & set in place with all the rigging. The carronades are shown in the retracted position thus the lack of slack in the breech ropes. The railings will be added later - if not, I would surely knock them loose. Need to add a few more things & then on to the pointy end of the ship. Mark

    Got my first shot today - the wife of one of my sons is a pharmacist & her place had 35 doses that needed administered today or tomorrow or they would spoil,so I rushed in & got it. No ill effects whatsoever. Mark

    Looking good! Just got my first shot today. One of my sons is married to a pharmacist, so she has been on the lookout for me. They had 35 doses at her pharmacy that had to be administered today or tomorrow or they would be spoiled, so I rushed in & got`er done. No ill effects. Mark

    Watching the NASA channel, they said it took 11min. 22 sec. for the signals to reach here from there. Since the distance between here & Mars varies, I would think the communication time would vary also. Mark

    Amazing - looks like a full size movie set!! Mark

    Yep - every time we lose a couple of inches another "Alberta clipper" blows through with a couple more inches & more cold. Current temp is -5F (at 11 pm), which is what the HIGH temp tomorrow is supposed to be. Mark

    That`s about how much snow we have on the ground here. The bad part is it`s supposed to be around -17F overnight Sunday with wind chills as low as -40 . I`ll take snow any day over extreme cold. Mark

    I use the gap filling CA from Bob Smith Industries also, but I use the use the odorless type with the gold label. It takes a few seconds longer to "grab", there is no odor or fumes that I can detect & is even safe for use with foam. Regular CA will melt foam. I went to that because the fumes from regular CA really bother me. The only drawback I find is that it`s a bit more expensive than standard CA. Mark

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.
