    As you are living in the U.S., perhaps you can find inspiration for thatching material at a Michael's store?

    Should I be anywhere near München.... unlikely, but thank you so much for the invitation. Your model would certainly be well worth seeing!

    Your second version of the central figure is superb!
  4. druxey
    Superb blocks!
  5. druxey
    Courage, Paul!

    Impressive 'save'! And congratulations on your 80th as well. Many more healthy years to you.

    Perhaps these images will help?

    Is the central figure perhaps representing Neptune, flanked by two nereids?

    Coming along very nicely indeed, Pat. Your work is very clean.

    I'm sorry to read about your friend Muz. That is a lovely way to salute him.

    That is spectacular miniature modelling work, Doris!

    Gallery lights: Make and fit all the munions (the dividing pillars) first. Then you can make patterns in card to fit each opening.

    Clinker and clench are different names for the same thing! I remember the advertisements in the '70's in Model Shipwright for this kit. Couldn't afford it back then, but lusted after one!

    Welcome back, Alex! Beautiful work, as usual.

    Absolutely, Shipman! I'm sure I too, with my faults and foibles, qualify for that diagnosis as well....

    I wonder whether the treasure trove of recently discovered Black Sea wrecks may hold the key to some of these mysteries. I understand that they will be examined more closely this summer....

    I remember, as a kid, seeing him and his models in London at Model Engineering exhibitions. I was too young to truly appreciate his work then. He was an odd character who today may have been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum.

    Outstanding work! Ausgezeichnete!

    A fascinating way to solve the engraving issue without photoetching! What diameter bit did you use, Gerald?
  20. druxey
    Nice going, Ed. And congratulations on the 100th page of this thread!
  21. druxey
    Lovely! But don't forget the water holes in the spritsail.
  22. druxey
    Oh dear, Keith. Hopefully the new and revised version will have zero runout!
  23. druxey
    I noticed slight 'eyebrows' over windows and doors worked into the thatch in the last photo.
  24. druxey
    Ah! Much nicer looking this time, Toni!

    Erik: there are so many things to consider when lining out. Please read the article (link below) to better understand what you need to do. Also, there are a lot of boat-builders in Scandinavia. Perhaps you could talk to one of them as well! https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/search/&q=a primer on planking&sortby=newest&search_in=titles

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.
