    I'm still looking for the mistakes. Nice Job!!!

    Nice work. Yes, we all have the dime the size of a silver dollar. Congrats on the A/C !
  3. augie
    Excellent.
  4. augie
    Yes, but it was back in the 1950's

    If you do use CA, use a thicker grade and be very judicious!
  6. augie
    That is a very pleasing line you've created there Mark. Those upcoming curves are something. Hold fast!
  7. augie
    Frightening thought, isn't it Mark? Hope things settle down and get you back to Licorne planking soon.

    Consider your luck wished.

    Welcome aboard, Eddie. Looks like Elsie will make into a really nice schooner. Glad you've decided to start a build log here. Plenty of expertise and encouragement aboard. Oh, sorry you ran into Sjors on your first visit. Nice table! OK, now the real question........ what's your ship's cat name????

    Thanks for all the kind words and well wishes. Anja - yeah, it does look fairly good blown up Sjors - If I catch nothing over the next 3 days, I don't come back at all! In that case you, as Senior Officer, are in charge ---- of EVERYTHING.

    Just a quick update. The rigging on the T'gallants and Royals has been completed. Main and Forecourse braces and clews coming next. Here's the best I can do, photographically, to depict where we are: Like to wish those up North a Happy Canada Day -- tomorrow, while I venture up to my favorite lake at 10,000 + foot elevation to fish for the elusive arctic grayling (assuming the winter's ice has melted). Back in the shop by the 4th of July !!

    Sounds like a well spent hour, indeed. In/out, up/down ...... make them all the same!!!!

    Thanks to you both for posting and answering. I just came across this issue myself and thought it was a bit strange. Now I understand.
  15. augie
    I knew it. A couple of days away, you come back and take a look and bingo.......a new version emerges. Very nice work Robbyn .... and a great decision. Proud of ya
  16. augie
    Yup, that looks familiar. You work for months keeping things nice and neat and suddenly you have loose lines hanging all over. Get used to it ----it all comes together.
  17. augie
    Nice work on all the fiddly bits. Very clean! Glad you discovered 'Better Living Through Chemistry'. When all else fails......read the directions And hope you had good news when you awoke to the newly dried paint!

    Looks great, JP.
  19. augie
    Really impressive Bob.
  20. augie
    Looks good. But I thought you were watching some bicycle race.
  21. augie
    Yes, an incompatibility somewhere along the line. Sorry about that Grant.
  22. augie
    Hoping all is well here too.
  23. augie
    Awwww........at least there's one nice person in the Netherlands! Sjors is one lucky guy!!!!

    I just checked the ME photos on their display model and, sure enough, the bowsprit goes under the caprail Completely different from Syren. Here's the photo: http://www.modelexpo-online.com/images/Grafx/item_shots/MS2240/3.jpg

    WOW! Repairs? What repairs. That is one whole lot of progress Mobbsie. She looks great and I love the deck details. Especially the 'cooker' as you call it. Question- Did you use Sjors as consultant on the transom ??

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.
