    Got both your posts Sjors. Thanks! I have to say, she is a real beauty and you deserve to be proud of her. I would never even attempt sails. Yours look great. Thanks for re-posting. This was done before my time on MSW 1.0 Just one question ------ is that YOU painted on the transom?????

    First step in attaching that bowsprit yard is to turn off the TV

    Good luck on that bow modification, Anja. I'm sure, no matter what you decide, it will be stellar!

    Looks very nice, Sjors. I guess we would call her a 'Privateer', a sort of government sanctioned pirate. What is the scale on her? And thanks for reposting ...... I'll be following.

    Really nice Paul.

    Ah, the ratlines! You did a good job on the ship's boat.

    Nice cutting of the curves on the deck beams. In my yard, brute force and superstition would have been used to bend them into submisssion . I'm not going to ask if the stove works. The great thing about this log is that, after almost 2 years on MSW, I'm beginning to see how things should be done. That's not to say I could actually DO them.

    Nice deck furnishings, Sjors. Patrick should be happy with the photos!

    Sounds like a plan, Frank

    The sails look fantastic. Looking forward to more!

    I had to sleep on it to figure out the checkered floor. I finally 'got it'. That one photo peering through the quarter gallery and seeing that floor is .......priceless! I've only actually seen that once on a ship and it was HMS Victory when I walked her decks in '79. Glad my Syren doesn't need that. I'd be stuck going to Home Depot and trying to find 1:64 vinyl tiles REALLY well done and presented.

    They don't call 'em 'Tall Ships' for nuttin'

    You're happy ------ I'm happy.

    Just found this log and it saddens me that I did not become aware of it until late in the game. You've done a fine job on this little gem and, at the same time, provided a brilliant narrative. I shall look forward to your projects in future.

    Thank you for stopping by, B.E. It would also appear that we now have Popeye's of differing ethnic backgrounds and eras on board! Where else but MSW????? Everyone stay the course!

    I like the wire Sjors.

    Nice work on the mast coat. She's really shaping up!
  18. augie
    I have never seen anything like your caulking method before. Talk about going over to the 'dark side' ! But the finished result is stunning. It takes a brave man to post that low-level, full length deck shot. Very precise work.

    Hey Popeye------congrats on your promotion. Now neither of us need to salute Sjors! Never knew Popeye had a father

    There's always the chance you have a bad dowel. Mine didn't have an unusual amount of flex.
  21. augie
    See, I'm not alone. The bus is almost as popular as .......Sjors !!!!!!!
  22. augie
    That ebony/holly strip idea is really nice. If you keep this up I'm going back to an Erector Set.
  23. augie
    Just a little something I cranked out in my spare time (yeah, RIGHT)!
  24. augie
    Hey Richard----- glad to have you back home!!!!!! The Syren fleet is coming back to strength!! Take your time catching up. You've got a great build going. I went with the 1/16" dowel and haven't managed to knock it off yet....but I've yet to attach the rigging. Between pinning it with the wire and the added support where it hits the headrail I think it will be ok. The next size up is 3/32 and that's pretty hefty, but it could work. There's an awful lot of 'stuff' running through that area when you get down the line.

    Hey, you've got 30 years more then I have to build them all . Here's a photo of a 1:48 USS North Carolina, also a 74, to inspire 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.
