is Gregory Peck still alive?????? I was looking up 'Jaws'........they almost cut Shaw out because of his drinking. he couldn't stand Richard Dreyfus either! {....and you thought they were merely acting, on screen} can't use George Clooney either......he already took the plunge! >pun <.......{he got married a few weeks ago}. Eastwood......I think he's getting too old. either he's trying to get someone to 'make his day', or he can't remember half the time how many bullets are left in his gun. anyway......thanks all for the good word I'm gonna try and get done with these drums, so I can get going on something else. maybe even something where I won't be getting CA on my fingers.......my sense of touch is going south fast!

thanks George.......no need to be quiet. always glad to see new folks looking in. it didn't look like much when I started it, but the more I add to her, the more I'm convinced that I chose the perfect hull to base it on. thanks for the good word......I hope it holds true when it's finished

my first week back at work was.........well.......OK. at least I was able to find humor in it all I left the fuel drum assembly on my desk all week end.......I even cleaned up the desk a little.....which made the admiral very happy so the count was left off like this.......five are ready for paint.......four of them had the ribbing around the body.......and two are bare. I tried to do a little during the work week....but as I figured, that didn't happen. I was also on line, and found the color schemes for quite a few oil companies, along with their logos, so I'll be able to splash enough color on the deck, to offset the white {the dominant color}. at this point...the other two drums have the banding.....they all {6} need the tops I still need to see if the decal maker will install

with every build......you will always feel that way my first build was especially hard........I was collaborating with Tom @ Billing USA at the time. first build.......old kit......right up my alley! I was sending him build logs......he wanted to put a condensed version on his website. the very day that I finished it......I sat back, and felt so empty.......it was the end of the road! it's probably the reason why I now have so many builds in the works..........with every one finished now.......I just feel satisfied!

Matti.....you built the perfect cliff hanger! I was expecting to see the start of the second stepping of the masts. I go back to work, from my holiday vacation.........and return to hear you are finished! AWWWWWWWW! I'm not sad though.......I got to see the most detailed build of this vessel....than I perhaps have ever seen! you have created such a masterful piece of art. I have the Billing instructions for her {someone else was building her at the time}. to go full mast, she would be over 31 inches tall.........think of the case you'd need to build! she's a mammoth 38 1/2 inches long, as it is..........just with what you've done....that equates to a very large case!!! she's a beautiful build, my friend..........can't wait to see what your next subject will be! congrats in building a very interesting ship.......it's much more than "just a model"!

you could also cement in the lid and putty around it......then do the scribing. I don't believe they were on the United States either.....this would be my plan of attack. look forward in seeing more

usually model manufacturers do a generic rendition. so if your going to bash this one, using actual pictures would be just the thing I got the 1:400 Academy kit of the Titanic for Christmas......even though the life boat are very small, it may give me ideas nice take on the preserver......you did well in getting away from that square shape

I totally agree Michael.......the shot of the pumps alone shows a very busy scene Nils, you have assembled quite a ship here as with all of your other builds, you've instilled so much detail. the human eye can only take in snippets, what the camera can do as a whole. now you plan to take it aloft....wherever you plan to show this beauty......I hope it will be seen from both sides Now I have to ask........will the Cux be on the list for 2015? very interested to see you take on her

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.
