Mayflower by tj456 - 1/19 scale
yvesvidal replied to tj456's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
I like the old SAE electronics from the 70-80's. I own a SAE 8000 Tuner and like it very much. Great model, by the way. Yves -
Great collection of pictures. Your models are amazing. Yves

Dehavilland Mosquito by Edwardkenway - Tamiya -1:48
yvesvidal replied to Edwardkenway's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Fantastic job. I would try to drill a little bit, these canons for realism.....It is difficult to say, from the picture. Yves -
For the separate ovens.... I can fully understand: you don't want your bread or pastries to smell like venison or roasted chickens. For the checkered floor, it (unfortunately) reminds me of the flooring used in all Grand Lodges of the Masonic fraternities, where some significant atrocities are committed. I will not say more about that... Yves

I never really understood, why the Brits were so fond of these diamond shaped floors.... I did not know they would even place them in their barges (granted, this one is an "Admiral" barge). Any explanations would be most welcome. Yves

That is exactly how Revell should have approached these beautiful kits: using spars made of real wood. Yves

Great job. Now, you need to source small sheets of thin mahogany to finish the hull, in a similar way to Sea Goddess. Yves

I would second your comments completely, as I have the same remarks with the Bellona kit. Fortunately, the hull is planked with limewood which is more suitable for this kind of purpose. I like the cherry tree for details, especially soaked with a liquid orange oil/olive oil/bees wax concoction that I find at Home Depot. Yves

Incredibly beautiful and realistic. It was hard for me to pick up a picture, but I think this one summarizes the excellence of your work. Yves

Great progress on that beautiful hull. Are you planning to use Fujimi bridge and central superstructure or the parts provided with the Nichimo kit? Yves

You deserve the title of "King of the Railings". Very impressive work and very realistic. Yves

You are spoiled !!! For the Bellona, there was no words, no explanations and barely a letter to indicate which wood to use. Because of the clinker planking, they gave you some additional information. CAF kits are great and the models very interesting. I wish they could have a James H. to do their documentation and instructions. Yves

That purple Super Clean chemical is really great. I use it a lot for all kinds of purposes. Yves

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.
