    Lots going on there in the bow. Looks great. Sorry the lights didn't work out but hey, you gave it a shot.

    Local hobby store may have them. Model Expo and MicroMark have them in sets. Not really expensive. They are generally used with a smaller pin vise as they won't take much force.

    That's a LOT of progress. Glad you decided to plank as well as possible even though she'll be coppered. Just one suggestion --- you might want to invest in a set of smaller drills...... sizes #60-80. They will come in handy very often as you move through the build.

    Sweet. The intensity looks perfect. Just keep a sharp eye out to see who may be coming up behind with chase guns before you light 'em up !

    Sounds like you've got the thought process in place. Your honest narrative gives all of us a reminder of how what we do today can impact a year down the road. Your strength is that you forge ahead with the required modifications rather than simply 'make do'. Fine work, mate.

    Details are looking good. Your work on the cannons will pay off....one way or another. Chuck's cannons are superb if you go that way. Hopefully you can get a very close match regarding the size.

    GREAT to see you both back. Send some of that mojo my way.

    Waterway angles look perfect. Nicely done, mate.

    Glad to hear you're feeling better and have smoothed things over with the Admiral. At times we all get frustrated.

    See above!

    OK, that'll work and probably be most accurate.

    When faced with an odd number of shrouds, i rig the foremost shrouds in pairs and the aft most as a single running from port to starboard. The single is not seized to anything. Not sure that's 'by the book' but it works.

    With that taper brass might be tough. But either way, really nice work.

    Thanks for sharing all of your experiences with us, Mark. It's appreciated.

    Your perserverence has paid off. Very nice.

    Touches of brass really dress her up!

    Your tales always bring me a smile. Sounds like you Admiral is a real 'keeper'. Maybe Mark can laser cut you a set of ice cream-proof floor mats

    Yes, thanks Chuck. I'm with JC Frankie on this one. That's no way to conduct a business.

    Table for 1 please! Really nice start, Bob.

    Love the sheaves. Time well spent.

    I'm with Cap'n Steve on this!
  22. augie
    Really looking sharp!

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ! Just catching up on logs. Titanic is growing in leaps and bounds. Very nice, my friend.
  24. augie
    Wow! I missed all the fun.....but I'm back. That is one heck of a turn at the counter. But you're making it look easy. She is coming alive! Well done, mate!

    Just came across this and wanted to wish you well on this new voyage. You're in great company!

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.
