sweet looking rigging Michael.......you've achieved realism. that's the beauty of it! if you were to put weight on it, does it conform to shape? perhaps that's all it lacks...........nicely done!

very nice.......no gaps! to limit the rounding of edges, take a piece of sand paper and glue it to a flat board. rub on it with very little pressure........you'll get a squared edge every time you make pulling out that Marine Models PT boat kit I have very tempting Tim, but with all the projects I've got going at the moment.....I'd better not. looking forward in seeing more of your progress

I don't have all those wonderful tool either........my work shop ia about as primative as it gets. I like it that way. I bought the admiral a sewing machine.......oh......she told me all the wonderful things she could do with it. as of right now........I've used it more than her The admiral love what I do with my ship modeling......I also do a lot {underline a lot} of bash work. I know that if I finished my last build, and had nothing new to work on........I would have a kit in front of me in no time! that's just the way we roll.......of course, it would start because she would see me looking at a plastic kit....she doesn't want me doing plastic any more, and will do anything to keep me from them. {I think it's cute and very funny} "oh dear.......all I have left is this old Trumpeter kit....guess it will have to do." "WHAT!!!! I thought I could smell plastic........here....take this Norske Love.....and go back in your hole!" "OH!! Thanks dear........your a peach!"

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.
