    Best of luck with getting Mom settled. We'll be here when you're underway again.

    Glad you're feeling better. She gets more and more handsome.

    Great Scott .... so much to take in. Love the pintles/gudgeons and the pumps. That's not to say I don't like the creative bending. Brute force triumphs once again! Nice work, Frank.

    Just be cautious. You don't want the CA to stiffen the line itself and interfere with the way it hangs down to the coil. The thin CA will wick right down the line. I use the medium here...you only need a microscopic droplet to hold the line in the block.

    Whatever works for you Larry. I generally do put the smallest drop of CA on the block to hold the lines tight as I do the coils later on.

    That's a very nice thing to say, Popeye.

    I only know from Chuck Passaro's Syren that there was a black strake right above where the wales ended. Ironically, he pointed out that it was not black.

    Good catch. And rest assured (as Mark said) that in the many Syren logs I've followed, there have been quite a few bulk heads cracked. That rabbet method is really a good technique. Chuck used it in Confed as well.

    Yes, Salty does some amazing work --- and keeps trying to outdo himself. Ken, just something to keep in mind. Next time you want to make a black paper band, consider flat black heat heat shrink tubing. Comes in a lot of diameters, slices easily into any length. I usually give mine a coat of clear flat acrylic after shrinking and it's on for good.

    When I read words like 'having fun' and 'enjoying' it makes me smile right along. Your work is neat and clean....and she's lookin' good! Ladders can be frustrating. I've made several with my patented 85-95 degree 'right' angles and they wind up in the scrap box. Be patient.....you'll get it. And good thinking on the ship's boat. Now as for the stickers..........

    I don't know who they are going to 'take away' first, Popeye. You for doing all this or me for enjoying it so much. Nice chain fall. Adds a nice bit of contrast.

    Those pumps had to be tough. Congrats on all the effort upgrading these cast parts.
  13. augie
    Looks really fine from this angle. Well done!!!!!
  14. augie
    All is well with the buoys. Early to bed tonite
  15. augie
    I'm not sleeping 'til I see what's happening with the buoys !
  16. augie
    WOW! Is it still true that Watts = Amps x Volts ? It's been a while!

    I'll be following along JesseLee. She was my first and I really enjoyed the challenge. Chuck's practicum is first rate. Have a great voyage.
  18. augie
    Surprising how the parts count adds up! They look terrific. Well done, mate.
  19. augie
    Hope you're having fun with the 'fiddly bits'. Get used to it!!!! Sweep ports look good.
  20. augie
    Looks good!

    Dentistry ??? I'd liken it more to micro neurosurgery !!! You're a brave man.

    Another Confed will be a welcome addition to the growing fleet, Nigel. With you and yancovitch fully rigging, it will be exciting. I know that Andy (realworkingsailor) also has one that he plans to rig. Now if I only had a bigger house........

    Looks like you're going to need two things: a) A bigger camera A harpoon That's an awful lot of firepower. You're doing a great job. Nelson himself would be proud, my friend.
  24. augie
    Thanks to all for looking in an for the kind comments. Greatly appreciated.
  25. augie
    You're definitely making progress if they feel smooth to the touch. You're working on one of the toughest sections to get just right. Good plan to move on and (possibly) revisit later.

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.
