    Wow!!!

    Hothead made invasion to my workbench, and I was working with him on his models ... interesting ... I just remembered why I call him Hothead ... dead race between us who is smarter, more skillful and more experienced ... two stubborn work table ... don't try this ... he he ... nice time together in our way In meantime, I stealed some time to finish another (fore) pair of sheaves and inside mooring pipes. No valuable and interesting picture to show. And next is ....

  5. NenadM
    Truth, truth, nothing but the truth !!!

    Hello Sherry What a good idea. I feel sad my model has only one, but now I know how to make it Nenad
  7. NenadM
    Thank you for nice words and likes Today is Orthodox Christmas, and I'll not work on Her, want to spend time for kids. And Admiral. Hothead will return to N.Sad on Sunday to his exams @Marc, I picked some of your ideas too. That is point, isn't it ? They are at Olymp, but, we can fly under and arround them and still their knowlidge.On the oposite, they can not still ours !!!! @Cpt. Steve, this time it was easy because I read your bashing log and learned how to do it !! @Denis, I am watching your barrels silently and carefly, thinking about metal and "metal" works !!! Thx @Bob, it seems one of little piggies finished on holliday dinner ... masked in chicken @Bruce, it is glad to see you here, and you like our "baby attempts " in modeling

    Little piggy = little mess Bigg piggy = big mess Couple of little piggies = chaos on workbench Keep them safe, Bob

    On some photos, particulary old ones, sheaves are white, and on other, particulary new ones - black. I can not find now, but I am almost sure I found somewhere color photo ( ehich means - younger) with white sheaves
  10. NenadM
    Denis, you obviouslu don't need help of Gandalf or Harry Poter. Anyway, magic work
  11. NenadM
    And semi-final look... ok, sheaves have to be a bit darker, and that is not final color for inside bulwarks, I was just curious ... When I tried to light up cigarette with super-glue instead lighter, and after that washed brush in a tea, I know it is enough for today And Hothead starts fooling around ... which mean ... danger for models ...
  12. NenadM
    On place ...
  13. NenadM
    I agree Marc, sometime it seems we have Olymp full of modeling Gods here on MSW. Point is, for us mortals, not to be frustrated, be challenged and inspired. To fight with yourself Eight "perfect" sheaves in frame of my possibility
  14. NenadM
    Task for today This time, holes are centered well, and a futur rope can pass - except Gandalf the Grey stand in front with his famous words to Balrog Made of veneer 0,5mm, preliminary painted black. Thinking about to "metalize" it a little ... there will be more precise painting when I bye ultra-thin brush Suddenly, a wave of inpatience attack me and I leave inside sheaves on aft inside bulwark for tomorrow. I'll try to make them more accurate than outside, because on this place it is more visible. Must engage some little dwarfs .... tricky .... and a challenge
  15. NenadM
    Feel free to use any photo you need/want, my friend. B/W are Lou's who was very kind to share them with us, some photos were taken kindly by Swen, and others are from Google

    Marc, take a look to Dan Vadas HMS Vulture, he gives me some bad ideas about wheel ... Piet, here we have soft winters with average temp -5℃ to +10℃ with couple of extreme days, so house isolation was not prepared for -13℃. Only a few days, but ... brrrrrr Mark, nice and very cold. Today is better +3℃ and different story. Pipes are made of wood and I was happy when I succeed to make them small Thanks for your likes, support and interesting
  17. NenadM
    Give us some sheaves photos !!!!
  18. NenadM
    Marc, I think 0,5mm test hole will be fine, and after that decide about direction. Input hole can be ok, but output hole can be wider than you want. If you do this careful, enlarging drill diameter step by step, it has to be ok. I'd rather chose opposite direction. Outside sheaves are visible, inside are semi-hidden and covered with many other details. Except sheaves above aft deck. Waiting to see some pics !!!!
  19. NenadM
    Verry verry nice. What is next?
  20. NenadM
    Mooring pipes inside, made of wood First snow this year in backyard on -13℃ third day in a row. Impossible to warm house Painted white and on place
  21. NenadM
    Just like that, Marc, and you just discover another "hidden" mistake I made, caused by long time ago lost hull lines. In that circumstances, it was just impossible to put sheaves in correct position beyond the stanchions and at the same time to open their holes through bullwark on correct place outside. I noticed that, and made decision to made and position inside and outside sheaves in "artistic way" - to look like as on place. The fact is that this approach can compromise rope line throught sheaves, but I intend yo improvise something on same way - 'to look like". I made mess at the begining, and there is not way out except the way I do (I think) - good painting, overload with details, etc etc. I think I am on right, and only possible way, looking how She look now from distance and in details I have made. Very much pleasure and joy, and I realy like working on Her
  22. NenadM
    Maybe - all wooden first, then all sails and after that ... real joy with ropes
  23. NenadM
    Yards, yards, yards And just perfect yards !! And something I never think about - where and how to keep them safe until their time comes Very nice work
  24. NenadM
    Bob, think about to share this on Ct. Steve log "Kit basher ..." Looks very interesting, and make me very unpatiente to see final result
  25. NenadM
    Ok, CS fleet is slowly wake up after holidays, so it is my turn After last 15-16 years when kids become teenagers and started to go out for New Year, this was first New Year we all spent together at home. Full heart ... Last couple of days I spent with Hothead and his arch models ( origami !?!?!) Occupied by him to learn me origami, and discovered that I am extreme untalented for paper exhibitions he do .... So, painting jobs are finished for now, and I climbed on deck, look left and right, in intend to finish inside content of main fore and aft bulwark, and said "hmmm ... where to start ?" A ha, "bulwark sheaves for main course and lower stuns' sheets", which Bob have done perfectly Considering my scaled C-plans, I started Nice pretty piece, but ...hmmmm, something is wrong. Something is really wrong... Short look at Lou's photo It is not good !!! Rip it off $%%$ Next try Better But here is the place where big big earlier mistake catch me... I wrote about my out-of-brain working on stanchions, when I made different number of them on left and right side. What I was thinking then, I do not know. Probably-nothing Result - different space between stanchions on left and right space !!! And a little space on a right bulwark for this 12mm long piece... But, there will be a lot stuff around to mask this To conclude : mess continues ... Enough for today, I hear Hothead calling to see his project for home decorative light ...

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.
