    Good to see you back!

    Ah! I see you were able to move Albertic safely to your new home. Looking forward to your progress reports, Michael.

    Welcome back, Gary! It's nice to see your beautiful model beginning to progress again. Nice workbench too!

    Seriously methodical!

    Ideally internal stringers would solve the issue (while still retaining the cross-spalls) However, in your case perhaps an external jig will be required to maintain hull form until you can install stringers and permanent cross-members.

    Time spent fine-tuning tools is well spent!

    This inside-out approach is interesting!

    Check the factory primary bevel. Keep it as recommended by Mike Y and add a secondary edge bevel.

    Lovely work there!

    Truckin' along there, Mike!

    Lovely work and photography as well!

    Congratulations on completing a lovely gem of a model, Rusty.

    Mark: for various odd-shaped spaces, I've seen wedge-shaped ledges rather like the ones in my illustration.

    Luvverley!

    There is no 'correct' or 'wrong': it has to be something that you are satisfied with.

    I've seen ones as small as 0.5mm at: minitaps.com

    I concur with Mark: this was probably experimental. Obviously it was not successful as it was not generally adopted!

    Miniature left hand taps and dies, although not inexpensive, are available, Frank.

    Nice beginning, Chris. When my daughter was young, I had to take ten years off from any modeling. Well, not quite true: I built a number of things such as a doll's house with her! But no ship modelling.

    You are definitely Master of Moving Metal! Your brief history was fascinating to read: congratulations on the Significant Anniversary. I hadn't realized that you were responsible for that lovely Bucklers' Hard diorama, although I was well aware of your beautiful model car work.
  21. druxey
    Yes, Greg; those old-time shipwrights knew a thing or two!
  22. druxey
    Like I said - you'll be done in no time! She's looking very nice indeed, Mike.
  23. druxey
    Copper will work more easily and not corrode. I'd agree with you that the wire should be replaced. Annoying!
  24. druxey
    Very sobering indeed.

    An interesting and ambitious project, Adrian! Judging from your lifeboat model, you should certainly build an outstanding model.

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.
