Looking very good indeed, Bob! Have you decided on a color scheme yet? The actual boats come in a variety of colors.

Swan-Class Sloop by Stuglo - FINISHED - 1:48
druxey replied to stuglo's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
TFFM suggests 56 inches (about 140cm) of line for gammoning, not 30cm. And yes, "Do you dress to the left?" was a question tailors used to ask. I guess that I'm elderly, then.- 475 replies

Those front-hall photos make me cringe. Not because the models are not good - they are lovely - but where are their protective cases???? Even if the cat doesn't play with them, the dust that will accumulate on the rigging.... Oh deary me!

Welcome aboard. Your English is very good and those are very nice-looking models.

Just catching up with you, Mark. I didn't realise that you were having health problems and hope that the stent has done the trick. As for future projects, there's nothing wrong with 1:48 scale - or even larger. I've been working at that scale for decades. However, one has to allow for anno domini and, in my case, I don't think I'll be rigging any more models. The main thing is to enjoy model-making rather than get frustrated. All the best to you.

Who will notice a slight acanthus mismatch once the model and sea are complete? Nobody but you, Ron! My favorite cartoon attached without further comment....

I go away for two weeks and - you've completed her! An absolutely fabulous model, Rob. Hearty congratulations on the time, effort and research that you put in, in order to get this result. Well done indeed.

The drippings fall into the grease pan, not on the deck! A very nice result, B.E. Now I want to see a LED red glow from inside and a little smoke out of the chimney....

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.
