    Beautiful model, Paul!

    I tried this. Great idea, Stelios. But I did not solve the removal the excess of the wax as good as I wanted. On the lower side of the jar cover I put a piece of balsa wood, 5 mm thick, to remove excess of the wax. I slipped the thread through balsa wood with an needle. I did not make a hole with a drill. Some wax was also removed outside of the jar cover: Here are thread guides: Finished line:

    Hi, Stelios! How did you solve the problem of excess bees wax on the threads after waxing in the liquid wax? Is wiping with a rag sufficient?

    Does somebody know if it would be better to dilute melted bees wax with some diluent?

    This is very nice project. The boats like this one are in general use here, in Sisak, on rivers Sava and Kupa. They are little bit different, but very similar.

    Thank you Jay! Do you know proportions of ingredients in Britannia alloy - Zn : Pb : Sb = x : y : z ? Maybe on the box write something about that. Does the alloy fill the mold perfectly?

    Please, what was the material used to cast the cleats?
  21. Dida
    I tried to solder with the torch, but I burned the material. The skill is essential, as always.

    Thank you Russ! Augie, also explained by an private message what was CA. This is not for the first time that I hit "linguistic barrier". But I am young, I learn fast. Everything will be fine.
  23. Dida
    Hi, Pett! What is CA? I live in the area where this acronym is not used. Thank you.

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.
