    Sun setting and still in port. Painted engine parts dry but will wait till tomorrow to start reassembly. Until tomorrow Best Rick
  22. RVB
    Mid afternoon and airbrushed engine parts. Didn’t get any help from my - - - y granddaughter but she can’t wait to set sail again.
  23. RVB
    By the way notice the magnetic part holders. They are made for holding parts when airbrushing but I use them for everything from painting to holding small parts when I’m working on them. I even hang them from my work light when I run out of room on their stand. One of the best things I ever bought. The kit is very cheap on EBay. Best Rick

    Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Got up this Am before the sun. Can’t head out (weather and wave outlook great) because I need an engine that’s not in multiple pieces so back to work.
  25. RVB
    Well it’s late in the afternoon and she finally got up. TO BE YOUNG AGAIN!! Since it near dinner I thought we would celebrate with all my log followers. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO All
  26. RVB
    Got up this morning at 5 and the seas were rough so decided to stay in port. Since my lazy granddaughter sleeps till noon only thing to do was work on the engine. After 3 or 4 hours things started to look good.
  27. RVB
    Well after a hard day at work my granddaughter became unhinged because of my anal compulsive behavior making sure my hinges were working and straight on the coal bins. Since she stressed me out and knowing tomorrow we will head to sea again I decided to take a jacuzzi bath to relax before bed. As Always Best and Good Night Rick
  28. RVB started following Thermopylae by Adrian Hunter - Sergal - Scale 1:124
  29. RVB
    A thank you to ALL!! I hope all of you are enjoying the adventure with me. Best Rick

    Hi Terry Out of nowhere this appeared on my EBay site and I won it for $60 ( a really great price for a vintage kit. All the ones online are in the $200 range) Not my next build but it’s waiting in line. As Always Best Rick

    How do you make a lazy granddaughter shovel coal (what I really mean is help pick up the dishes after dinner). All suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Notice shovels haven’t been moved! Best Rick
  34. RVB
    Got up this morning and headed out to sea. Boat was not steering well so headed back to port to fix and paint the rudder and rebuild the tiller. While in port waiting for the paint to dry headed into town to pick up some supplies and found 2 shovels for my granddaughter to load the steam boiler with coal. Were both tired so retiring for the evening and looking forward to head out to sea first thing in the morning. By the way painted the rudder to match the boat trim with Liquitex Basic Acrylic Fluid— Alizarin Crimson Hue. As Always Best until tomorrow Rick
  35. RVB
    Terry. I forgot to mention that they spread like whip cream with a brush and when they dry they don’t leave brush marks. I paint almost all wood with a brush. Today I am going to paint the rudder. I primed it with Liquitex gesso which is a great primer and it sands smooth and I’m going to paint it with Liquitex Basic Acrylic Fluid—Alizarin Crimson Hue. When I post the pictures you can see how it looks. Best Rick
  36. RVB
    Hi Terry I airbrush them and they work great. No odor, easy clean up with isopropyl alcohol which can like water also be used as a thinner. They also sell Liquitex airbrush thinner (12oz for around $13). They also have setting time and hardener mediums. I order online sometimes and you get the paint in 1-2 days. Also if you sign up to be a Michaels member (2 minutes ) you will get 30-40% off coupons every day. Also online they have an extensive amount of colors to pick from. The paints are $6.99 and with the coupon around $4.50 for 4oz. Best Rick I

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.
