    Like the partial set of ships' curves I snagged some years ago marked 'HIC'. They are now in a museum.

    Scanning and reprinting from a screened print is always problematic, aside from any scaling and color balance issues. Julie has laid out this in exquisite detail!

    Impressive results from the tinning process, Mark.
  26. druxey
    Wot, no breechings? Wait for the recoil! Good figures, though, and nicely painted.
  27. druxey
    Beautiful!

    If you need to measure inside the hull from a baseline (the building board) outside, the best way is a gantry style frame with an adjustable pointer from the cross-piece. Mine slides along the building board and the horizontal scale (if needed to) slides to zero adjust. The vertical scale and pointer are held by friction. Note that there are pointers to each side. Rigidity is provided by L-plates screwed to the sides away from the camera.

    Oh. Of course, Keith.
  30. druxey
    But where, exactly, is the middle, Keith?
  31. druxey
    I have seen square-hole WW type collets offered on sBay in the past, but they are rare and consequently expensive.
  32. druxey
    Season's greetings, Kevin, and enjoy family time in NYC! Aren't capstans fun to make? You needed to take a break from them, right?

    But where, exactly, is the middle, Keith?
  34. druxey
    Welcome back indeed, Michael!

    On most models, as in full size practice, the strake consists of more than one plank, so you can work from both the bow and stern post. The continuous strake is one limitation of this kit.

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.
