    Looks like the pin points did the job. Fine work. I wanted to click "like" on your stern pictures but every time I tried I was told there was an error. Bob

    Glenn, thank for the information. Valve linkage on later engines became very complicated. It is the early engines that fascinate me. Like you, this is the only single centerline engine I've seen. You're doing a great job. Bob

    I agree with the others the engine is looking great, but I have a question about this type of engine I have not yet been able to answer. The wipers operate opposite each other, that is to say the right front and the left back lift at the same time, and the left front and the right back lift at the same time. Since they are operated from a single lever, I have never been able to figure out the mechanism that causes this reversal of lifting. Can you explain it? Bob

    Sail cloth is sometimes hard to find for scratch built boats. I first go to the thrift stores and look through the shirts and dresses, table clothe and such. If I do not find a fabric I like I go to the fabric store and walk through the many rolls of cloth they have. If you look long enough you will find what you want. Bob

    Some of the airplane and car modelers I know use "Press and Seal" food wrap to mask odd shapes. Bob

    I have a clock with exposed gears on display. But I do not want to see my furnace in the living room. Bob

    Nice looking hull. Bob

    I can only dream of doing aging like that, it's beautiful. Bob

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.
