    Wayne, Grant and Mobbsie, Thank you all for the comment ( or not ) @ Wayne, It makes sense to me ! Thank you !!!!!!!!! Now I know why. It helps but I'm still not change it @ Grant, Thank you also !!!!!! Learning everyday new things. Maybe this is a lesson for all those builders who are the same as me..... Easy working but not right ! And Mobbsie is always welcome at our house. And do not get worried please....when he is coming, the workshop is locked @ Mobbsie, Who is Grant ? I don't know the guy what you are talking about....... Never heard of him !!!!!! I will take a look at the other place where you should be Very quick that your toys are already there ! Make me us and post soon a picture of it !

    I have a question and I hope that someone can answer that for me. Mobbsie was saying that I started with the shrouds at the wrong side of the masts. I have to make the first shroud that goes in front of the mast and then work back. Why ????? I don't change it anymore because all the lower shrouds are done and will get started at the ratlines...... Just curious......
  9. Sjors
    That's not that I was saying Sam..... I was saying that the HULL is not painted !!!!!!!! I think you need more coffee to get your eyes open
  10. Sjors
    Piet, Amazing that you can make such tiny stuff..... I have all ready problems with the big stuff....... I think I'll gonna be visiting old Mister Wilton O no, not possible......maybe one of his children then ???? I want them showing this build !!!!
  11. Sjors
    Great job on the rudder Rich ! You let the brass like it is or do you give them a black coat ?
  12. Sjors
    Thanks for the tutorial Sam, They looks if they are coming from a kit ! Great !!!!!!!
  13. Sjors
    Sam, I think you need more then one cup of coffee...... Maybe ten or more ?????????? Also the Fonz is not painted ! ( the hull ) Maybe you are looking at another build and thinks that it be mine ??????
  14. Sjors
    Thanks Sam, Frank and Mark, Thanks guy's ! @ Sam, I was looking for paint but I couldn't find any.... Then I realised that you are meaning the filler. Early in the morning @ Frank, I didn't know that you are a guy with sayings..... But I love the line ....do as Sjors does A lot of people are not agree with you ! @ Mark, The only time when the Fonz goes upside down is when she wants become a Flying Fonz..... I almost needs a ladder to work at the top...... So to avoid the upside down methode, I put her on the floor. Now I have to be careful not to step on her.
  15. Sjors
    That rigging looks great Jason ! You still like tying those ratlines ?
  16. Sjors
    I'm right handed Augie, So from left to right
  17. Sjors
    @ Augie, The first ratline goes at the top to get the shrouds tight...... Then I go from bottom to top ! This answers your question ? @ Popeye, They have teach me at school, take the way what works for you the best........ So I'll be doing that ! It's just the same when I'm driving my bus, if there is an obstacle on the left side of the road, I'll take the right side I hope I can finish the lower shrouds tomorrow so after that it's ratline time again..... Aggy is a bit bigger, not much but when she have her masts you can see the difference. I can recommend a bigger one Popeye, It's really fun to work with it !!!!!! @ Wayne , Thanks Just read the answer that I wrote to Popeye and you know when the ratlines are coming !
  18. Sjors
    Mobbsie, I have printed this out ! Mobbsie who gives a replay to me !!!!!!! All the wonders are not out of this world yet Then your question...... Nobody, not even the drawings, are telling me from with side I have to place the shrouds. So I thought I make it myself easy ( if that is possible ) and started at the left and working to the bow. And now you are telling me that that is wrong ???????? To bad for the Fonz but I'm not gonna change it anymore ! I have now done 8 shrouds and to start all over again ,I think that is to much. For the more experienced builders, they see that it is wrong but most of the people who seeing it are not builders....maybe collectors of stamps.......
  19. Sjors
    Wow Frank, We talk a lot about it when you where finished with the Supply. And now, in 2014 you did it !!!!!!!!!! Really great job my friend ! You can be proud of your self. Give her a nice place in your house and enjoy the view !
  20. Sjors
    Because some builders are yelling about pictures ( I don't say any names Wayne and Popeye ) I started on the shrouds at the foremast. 4 done still 14 to go...... The second picture is showing you how the mast are nice on one line. The last 2 pictures shows you the two beasts together !
  21. Sjors
    If you want pictures, you can have them Popeye A little later on the day !
  22. Sjors
    Grant, When I look behind me . I just see her lovely face and smile when she is busy on her I pad....... It counts that we can see each other even when we are doing our own thing ....... Just being together is enough ! But it is monday, she is working at her notebook in the kitchen doing some work and I go upstairs doing my work....at the Fonz.
  23. Sjors
    Hi Nigel, I hink that it looks great Al litlle filler block here and there and it will be all right..... When I take a look at the last 3 pictures it looks like a model on scale from 1:1 .....
  24. Sjors
    Thank you Augie ! Wayne is not reading what I'm writing ! I'm gonna start tomorrow again and that don't mean that everything is already finished ! Don't forget I have only my rigging Gnomes and not the rigging spiders from Augie ! I have only make a few blocks at the foremast. For me it is also sunday...... That means that i can do what ever I want. And now I'm in the neighbourhood of Anja During the week we don't see each other much so ......
  25. Sjors

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.
