    Nice finish and good problem solving!

    Lovely as usual. Are you glad that there aren't 74 cannon and carriages to make?

    Magnifique, Monsieur! Question: how exactly does petroleum jelly work on the frosted plastic?

    Simply beautiful, Keith. It's been a great pleasure to follow your progress on Germania.
  5. druxey
    Very adroitly done!

    Usually the size is expressed by the length of the block. I haven't the Mondfeld reference handy, but don't think block proportions changed much over time.

    Coming along and looking good, Peter.

    Them pesky house guests! Enjoy reclaiming your space, Steven.

    Most ingenious, Chuck!

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Mark!

    You certainly are overcoming the difficulties of this model. Nice work!

    Looking very nicely done. Well done on the new breast hook!

    Bee-utiful, Greg! Everything aligns just so.

    Beautifully done, Greg.

    Doris is a tough act to follow, but your model is looking really nice so far.

    Congratulations on your latest release, Chris. She looks lovely! That was a lot of development work. Well done.

    Welcome! You are so correct in that one item that is 'off' will domino into a major problem down the line. My advice is to unglue all the things that aren't quite right and re-do them now, to avoid frustration and disappointment later. Follow the instructions closely for the best results.

    Nice work, Siggi. Gammoning was considered standing rigging, and would be dark with Stockholm tar.

    It's amazing how the subconscious works away without one being aware of it, and then suddenly; bingo! Glad you have a more elegant method of block-making now, Chuck. Brunel would have been proud of you.

    Actual mortice and tenons at scale! Very impressive, Dick.
  21. druxey
    Insanely small and well done!

    Belated congratulations on your 10th anniversary, Chuck! Here's to the next ten. The reason you sell out of small blocks is not because they are so nice, but because as fast as you sell them they disappear into the buyers' workshops' black holes, never to be seen again. That's my theory, anyway.

    !!!! That is miniature smithing at its best. The working knuckle hinge is beautiful.

    See my comment on Baker's build log.

    Various other AOTS books have shown to be problematic. Looks like this may be the case here. I suspect that MRNS is more reliable.

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.
