Daniel- It took me a while to 'see what you see'. The first placement looked fine to the untrained eye. But, thanks to your explanation, one really appreciates the re-orientation. That said, I also think the distortion caused by the glass is, in itself, remarkable and actually adds to the overall look of the project. The uppermost picture of the final version does it for me. Ironically, for me, the slight incompleteness or wearing of the external symbol on the glass actually enhances the overall 'feel' as to the age of the display. Where ever this model finds a home, I'm sure she will be displayed proudly far beyond our years. Very, very well done.

I think the building has actually proceeded at a normal pace.....but there are fewer of us. And the new site has only been up for 3+ weeks. In additon, maybe everyone checks in more often to see that we're still here and tends to interact more to sort of forge bonds against future mishaps. It's human nature.

Gee, Richard, that lug problem is a new one on me. I have the 'old' ones and they came mostly without holes drilled for the elevation screws. But I've heard there are newly designed carronades as many people complained about the overall width and quality of the carronades. So hopefully you'll get yours from the new casting. Let us know how you make out.

Ah, February 2nd. If you look (and listen) around Europe, there is a legend of the Lady of the Candles which occurs on Feb 2 of each year. Probably has some ancient religious basis? Anyway, this woman 'appears' carrying candles and, if they go out winter lasts another six weeks. If they stay lit, Spring will be early. Here in the USA we are more 'earthy', less ethereal. So we have this legend of the groundhog. He appears out of his hole on 2/2 and if he stays out, Spring will be early. But if he sees his shadow and goes back in the hole, winter lasts 6 more weeks. Same basic idea. Except, being practical minded Americans, we have an actual groundhog, Punxatawney Phil, who lives in the state of Pennsylvania and we get the whole event on video. Phil, who is currently female, lives forever of course!

You know John, I never thought of it that way, I always pictured Andy as sitting on a cask with a pipe in his mouth tying sheepshanks and monkey's fists all day long. I guess we'll just need to wait and see.

Hahahahaha. We sound like battling salesmen. She may not be able to use the additional LUCKY13 code because of the sale but it's worth having/trying. Now, for the next 10 minutes only, I have a great deal on a bridge in Brooklyn

Shaz- open this link for the sale price: http://www.modelexpo-online.com/search.asp?SKW=cat1_s@%20ms@%20DANCE&srccode=MAD13 The price for the kit should be $250. If you just open their main site the price is $299. The link above came in to MSW members. NOW--- If you also type in Offer Code LUCKY13, you should get another $45 off that if you order by 3/31. Good luck!

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.
