    I Like what you've done with lots of outlets and above the bench. You can never have too many places to plug things in. All i n all, a marvelous workspace!

    From Post #1, The attached photo is of a ship in the background of an early 19th-century portrait either produced in Spain or possibly the New World.

    Looks Good! Nice recovery from an unfortunate setback.
  20. Altduck
    Sorry about the damage; looks to me like quite a few hours just getting back to where you were on this build.
  21. Altduck
    Yes it is, and your planking looks really good - tight fits and symmetrical.

    Where in California? I'm in Roseville, and I have a Byrnes thickness sander that I doubt I will use in the future. PM me if you wish to pursue it

    I just "found" this build and it is one beautiful model. Love all the detail, especially the interior with the maps and mags and all. Well Done.

    This would increases the surface speed from about 2,700 to about 5560 Ft/minute; will heat be a problem?

    Reminds me of the tale I heard once: "George Washington's hatchet that he used on the legendary Cherry tree. All original except that the head was replaced once, and the handle 3 times."
  26. Altduck
    Maybe his coffee eats thru the bottom of the mug.....
  27. Altduck
    They sure are pretty little tools. Which size did you get, and how did you decide?
  28. Altduck
    Yes
  29. Altduck
    And you also have to be sure not to "Pass Wind" (Methane), and hold your breath so you don't exhale any CO2

    I used Gin with my daughters when they were teething.

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.
