    PS- I've noticed you've moved your photo shoots indoors. Starting to cool off down there????

    That's a nice plane Keith. Essex might be out in June. I hear they have over 100 pre-orders. I won't be rolling the next one in until Fall anyhow.....the usual summer activities and then Europe for a month +/-. Too busy! Meanwhile it's back to my 'Block Party'. Where the heck did that 1/8" double go?

    Finally talking????? If I don't stop talking I'll never finish !

    Looking pretty spiffy! Stay safe!

    Now that you mention it Frank, even that new railing has balls.

    Hmmmmm........I didn't realize Sjors had begun grooming a protege !

    The repair is going to go just fine. But we need to work on your nautical vocabulary. Belaying pins are metal or wooden pins to which the running rigging is secured along the rails (or belaying pin racks) of the ship. There will also be belaying pins around the fife rails (near the bottom of the masts) which serve as addtional belaying pin racks. The mystery will be revealed as you proceed !!

    Oh, right! I see he has a 1/24th cross section listed? Bring on the power tools!!!!!!

    Did I ever tell you the story Grant, about the ancient craftsman who made brass doors for the castle? One day while polishing the almost finished door, his apprentice asked "How do you know when it's finished"? He answered --- 'It's never finished, someone just comes and takes it away'.

    OK, I'll bite. What's next and why has it put you in trouble Kevin?
  13. augie
    Thomas- the finish line is like looking for marker buoys when at sea. It appears as a fuzzy black object on the horizon and never gets closer. I just keep on rigging until there's no place left to belay lines. Should have more yards aloft by week's end. Also still fuzzy on next build but leaning heavily toward new MS Essex.

    Hurry back. I'll miss my daily 'Victory Fix".

    Deadeyes looking nice and evenly spaced. And nothing like rudder chains to add some 'bling'. Nice!

    So you catch 1:70 scale fish using those balls? These details are making her look spectacular!
  17. augie
    Woohoo. Happy Birthday and many happy returns!
  18. augie
    Now that's looking terrific, my friend.
  19. augie
    Andy, I think she's coming together just beautifully. You see her everyday (when you're home) and the progress seems to just inch along. But we here see the results less often and the progress is ----- spectacular. Trust me.

    'Tis your ship, Admiral so you decide who goes where. In my case, the wife is the local Base Commander. We had sailboats for years and she was only happy when the engine was running. Came to the point where I had to play a tape recording of the engine to keep her calm in heavy weather . A sailor she aint !

    Best wishes for your return to top form!

    It is actually manufactured in Germany. We only have one small supplier here in the USA. Probably be cheaper for you to order direct from Germany. http://home.foni.net/~agondesen/left.htm The link should be the English site from the supplier.

    As still once again, brute force triumphs over reason. You're my kinda guy Can't wait to see how this repair works out. I'm betting on great!
  24. augie
    She must realize this by now. Especially with Sjors standing in the corner wearing the clown suit.
  25. augie
    So when the cat is away all the mice move up? Something about that doesn't sound quite right. Might have depended on who was Admiral.

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.
