    Thanks again guys, You can make fun of my "balls" uh Cannon balls…….. I'm happy with it and I have now some ammunition…... Anja pointed me out that on picture 2 ,something was not squire….. It looks that way but it is straight! It's an angle of the picture. I cheque it twice. I shall make tomorrow a new picture…...

    Thanks for the answer Ferit. We have so an planck bender also but I can not work with it... All my planks are still broken so I'll do it on the old fashion way. Soaking and very careful…...

    Thanks other friend I'm pleased how it looks. It's to bad that I already has to go for work. Thats always the same problem….when it goes well you have to go
  13. Sjors
    You are also going to the dark side????? In a few years I'm the only one who is building kits Than I have the forum for my own Don't let us wait to long for the pictures of a finished paddle wheel!
  14. Sjors
    Thanks Grant, It's much more easier this way You look for one and get three for the same price…..
  15. Sjors
    Thanks Jim!!!!!! And now the canons….then it makes use that I have placed canon balls
  16. Sjors
    Hi Grant, I don't know a thing about it but it looks good Still one question…….correctly if I'm wrong but do you have now to builds in one build log?
  17. Sjors
    Because Anja is working I have take the opportunity to get my canon balls and place them on the gratings When she got home tonight, I'll be working. So when I coming home early in the morning i hope that they are still there…...

    Hi Adam, I was reading this last night at my I-phone….. Nice thing to name this to your Admiral. I think she will be pleased with that. I'll crab a chair and will see how you bring this to an end.
  19. Sjors
    Thanks for the explanation Jack. Now I know what I can expect. It still looks as a great build!
  20. Sjors
    He Mobbsie, You always told me that I have to be careful with sharp knifes….. I think that you don't want to start with the coppering and that you look for things to avoid that….. But there are better ways my friend! Talk to you later on.
  21. Sjors
    Thank you all….. @ Patrick, There is one chessboard in scale but that's in the Captain's cabin……. @ Grant, Anja can hide some canon balls but she's at work now so I have a secret hiding place with a few canon balls….. @ Adam, Thank you! @ David, Thank you also! @ Jim, No worries my friend, canons are on the way But when they are there I will use popcorn to shoot instead of cotton balls….. @ Daniel, I know, I know….. Beside all the fun there is still some modelling. Maybe it is better that every time I do something and post it I shall put a link with it? Then you don't have to search….. @ Sherry, You are very welcome @ Adriaan, Anja want to use the cotton for something else…... I'm curious for what…. @ Popeye, I know you have to struggle to a few pages before you see a few pictures….but when you are there, you see something ! @ Mark, Thanks for the compliment about the chess….uh samson posts….. I'm not going to the dark side, I stay on the bright side. When Anja is starting I shall help her if needed but that's it! I have to many projects left……. @ Wayne, Thank you !!
  22. Sjors
    Hi Adam, I can only agree with Popeye and his secret between you and him….. But it looks great! Very, very nice….
  23. Sjors
    Thanks Alex, As you can read the Mirage is on the shelf at the moment. I think that a small ship is even more difficult then a big one…. Specially when you have those big fingers as I have. Just give it a go!
  24. Sjors
    As promised a few pictures. That's the last for todays building. Now I go to please some passengers….. The bell is in place and the drawing was saying I have to attach them straight to the holder. I don't like that so I put a little rope on it with a longer piece with at the end a bead. My first scratch build Also the railings are in place and varnish them. All the stairs are in place and glued. Tomorrow there is an other change to do something…. Like making holes on to the gratings for my canon balls……( If Anja don't hide them again ) and put the chess pieces in place and all the other furniture. Maybe not all tomorrow but I hope by the end of this week everything is in place. I'll keep you posted. I wish you a beautiful and quit sunday.

    I leave that to Anja….. Not so expensive if she don't want tons of it!

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.
