Wow, 15 mm bore and 20 mm stroke, times 6. You should be able to drive a bicycle with that. Bob

Glad to see you're back. You've been missed. Bob -
What a beautiful six cylinder steamer, I love it. Don't know much about internal combustion but just say steam and I'm there. Thanks for showing your work. Bob

I like the colorful clamp flags in the rigging they add a touch to a nicely done ship. Bob

Patrick, John, Kevin, Popeye, Nils, and all you who hit the like button. Thanks for looking in and telling me you like what I am building. This is the third stove I built. First I tried to make it out of wood covered in foil, and it looked like wood covered in foil. Then I tried plastic, I’ve never made anything out of plastic. Still haven’t. For years I've kept telling myself, ‘If the prototype is wood make the model wood, if metal, make it metal’. So I ended up making it out of brass. Why didn’t I do that first? This is the first time I have tried the modular method and I like it. I’ll probably use it in other boats as well. Until next time. Bob

Lawrence, Pete, thanks for the good words. I’ve been working on cabin details. A little stain, cabinet doors, laminate on the tops and a stove in the lined alcove. I made the stove out of brass. Sorry I should have taken pictures of the stove before I cleaned and painted it. Next I need to find some 1:48 scale vinyl for the mattresses. Then I can move on to the cockpit. More later. 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.
