    nice to see that this project is still ongoing......as I recall, you were building the mid ship, at one point in time. is it that section, that went to the landfill? she's gonna be a mammoth model when completed I look forward in seeing more!
  2. popeye the sailor
    really great progress so far Carl
  3. popeye the sailor
    good to see your back working on her........really nice paint work so far
  4. popeye the sailor
    nice paint job on the sub OC.! sorry I missed the unveiling......haven't been online much this week end.
  5. popeye the sailor
    the sail {as you call it} is called the conning tower. the periscope, communications, and main hatch are located here. on some subs, some form of armament would be located there as well. I'm sure there will be a deck gun somewhere fore or aft of the conning tower........I'm not sure if there are hatches on the deck, but those you put on are likely missile tubes {not usually that close to the conning tower though}. Piet knows more than I do........I'm sure he'll be along soon and can fill you in better. Kevin could as well. glad to see your on the move again

    awesome ship models lots of great detail! I was looking around this morning at different stuff, and I stumbled across a wood deck set for the SMS Sedlitz. look at scale deck .com
  7. popeye the sailor
    individual rungs have to be a total pain.......very nice detail
  8. popeye the sailor
    shouldn't the mast and spar plans be 1/4 to 1 as well? or was this done so the complete diagram of them could be shown on a single sheet?
  9. popeye the sailor
    you've got quite a bit done! she looks great.......wonderful job!
  10. popeye the sailor
    you had a display there............so cool! the 'Bizz' is a monster!
  11. popeye the sailor
    glad to hear you and the misses is on the mend. take time to recover....the model will wait patiently {after all.......it's made of wood } glad your back!
  12. popeye the sailor
    you probably have a good amount as well. have you done anything more with that IJN ship you were working on?
  13. popeye the sailor
    the price on that kit is fairly hefty........nice looking kit though
  14. popeye the sailor
    amazing the amount of PE that went into these two structures so far. looks great so far Greg really nice the way you boxed off that bridge part. judging from all the PE scattered around........your amassing quite a stock pile. super job so far!
  15. popeye the sailor
    reading your post Jacek.............your kidding.....right?!?!?! he can't change this?........even if it's wrong? *******mental note: if I ever buy this kit.........make this change in the assembly *********
  16. popeye the sailor
    this is a detail that is prevalent on most, if not all sailing vessels. it's too bad that DeAgostini got this wrong. it will take some doing to remove the offending planking......wetting it down with alcohol or water may help. looking in other logs here on the site, I'm sure you can see where the seams for the keel parts are, and can be indented and drawn on with pencil. it's not a hard repair, but it can get tricky. one shouldn't feel to badly about this.......positively sure your not the forst who has been duped by incorrect plans she's a beautiful hull.......you've done well thus far
  17. popeye the sailor
    from what I see here, they likely would. if kept 1:1 with the plans, I wonder what scale it would be in. I'm not sure what the copyright stamp says...I wonder if it was wise to post pictures........but I feel that a moot point, thinking "now what are folks gonna do with just pictures?" I'm sure they could be blown up to 1:96 scale. most of the kits I've gotten in the past has the parts panel diagrams included.......I've often wondered if a model could be done using them {not even blown up}. I haven't looked into BlueJacket....is the kit still being offered? how much are the plans, as opposed to buying the complete kit? too bad this log fizzled out I built the Revell kit some years ago.........a very nice model
  18. popeye the sailor
    very nice....the aft section is seamless! really nice.
  19. popeye the sailor
    yup......now that's one busy structure! looks great KP
  20. popeye the sailor
    look'in good Jesse.....nice progress
  21. popeye the sailor
    take care of family first Nenad.........there will be plenty of time later for her majesty. enjoy
  22. popeye the sailor
    so sorry to hear of her passing John {I just told Phyl about it}.......she sends her hugs to Pam, and extend our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. I hope your fairing well with what's going on with you..........fingers crossed and thinking of you
  23. popeye the sailor
    ....even better with the added green she's look'in very nice! in the short time you visited with her, you've done a lot. the beginnings of the bow spirit is off to a good start. when you come back......be sure to pack plenty of other colors, so you can dress up the bow and stern it was fun watching you add more to her. ......BTW.......how is the Akagi coming along? I don't believe I've seen an update on her.
  24. popeye the sailor
    I'm impressed..........with that much damage, I had doubts. you did very well! glad that the project is moving forward....looks really neat!
  25. popeye the sailor
    hey there Gerhard.........so good to see your back! sorry to hear what's been going on with you two.........good to hear that your weather through it all. belated condolences to you and your family, and look forward in seeing you back at the table soon.

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.
