    Nice work on the deck. And a nice touch with the memento. Usually, I just leave some DNA.

    Gallery looks great and I LOVE the '3D' decorations.

    These are going to be spectacular, Thomas. I'm envious !

    The desert must be awesome this time of year. Glad you got out. Yes, I recall a bit of twist. I think the beveling plus a little 'creative sanding' pretty much solves the issue.

    Didn't want to chime in earlier with all the 'guidance' you were getting. Bolts were the way to go . They look great. Have a safe trip. We'll keep a tether on Mobbsie during your absence.

    I use a hand held vacuum (carefully) to remove the heavy stuff along with a can of compressed air for tight spots and some creative 'blowing'. A nice soft artists or cosmetic brush, sometimes very slightly dampened is usually the final touch.

    Glad to see this little gal getting a log. These are great kits to get folks started because they are manageable while at the same time being instructive --- perfect for a 'wet your whistle' project. I built a Peterboro from Midwest years back. Strapped it onto the floats of one of my R/C Piper Cubs and it's still going strong after many water take offs and landings. In fact, I think it gets more attention than the plane itself. Hope it kindles some interest in a few of your friends.

    Looking really fine!!!!!

    Good choice and well done. Last photo is ------ impressive!

    I have some of the 1:64 brass 6# canon from Chuck's Syren Company as given in the above link. They are excellent.
  11. augie
    Definitely with Rusty on that.

    I'll go for 6 as, like myself, it's subtle but definitive.

    I'm interested as well. That 'bleed' has always annoyed me.
  14. augie
    That's not a try works ..... it's the centerpiece. Lovely all around.

    Nice work on the margin planks. You're on your way to scratch building. And I agree, it's tough to get good help these days!

    Voila.....she's out of bondage! Well done, mate! Now, are you going to share with us which of the 9 treenail samples attract your favor???
  17. augie
    MORE than mere recognition. She is to be celebrated. And I'm very glad that, looking back at her now, you are pleased with your creation.
  18. augie
    Avast, mate. Leave those port holes lie.......they look great!!!!
  19. augie
    Darned it DC, they make mine look like repaired fish net. NICE JOB!

    I'd say it's a good move holding off on the stanchions for now.

    Nice work on the spales. I'll confess I do use the 'wedge it in' method sometimes but always use soft wood (eg:balsa) for the wedges. As for treenails, #78 is pretty small but the 'drill and fill' works pretty well at that scale. Just play with the color of your filler to get what you like before you commit. EDIT- boxwood looks great and she's really shaping up beautifully.

    I'm with Frank........love the portholes. Really sharp on that green background.
  23. augie
    They are a beautiful pair, Dave. Sovereign should be one heck of a build.
  24. augie
    Glad to see the Syren fleet getting back to fighting strength. I enjoy keeping up with all of them. Welcome aboard, Timbers.
  25. augie
    Wonderful. Do you now need to abandon your chair to continue the rigging????

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.
