Bienvenue ici! Welcome. Your English is good, so don't worry. If the Cutty Sark was your first model, that was very well done.

Ow! Like burning down the house to get rid of a spider.... You were lucky not to ignite the whole ship. Glad you were able to repair battle damage. Another great reason to use PVA: it can be easily dissolved in rubbing alcohol. As long as you keep open flame away from it!

A very neat, one-piece solution, Siggi. Is there a reason why the steps up to the roundhouses are offset from the doorways?

Welcome aboard, Ken. Most of us have a bottle of rubbing alcohol (95% isopropanol) handy for ungluing PVA and aliphatic glue joints. Just used some a few minutes ago! Good luck re-working your inherited model.

A novel way of launching a ship: upside down. Oh. Picture is inverted. Just regular launch ways after all! Might you consider showing your model on the ways to present your model, Gary?

Perhaps you are referring to the chesstree? It looks like a fender, but has a sheave in it for the main tack.

Wirth all due respect, Kevin, after your previous accident, isn't it a bit risky carrying your model outside to photograph it? Also, that coffee mug on your workbench makes me nervous for you!

Painted in place, that friezework on the curved bulkhead is exceptional. Frohe Ostern, indeed, Siggi!

Could be worse; autocorrect might have made it 'gold rash', 'good rush' or even (shudder) 'geld crush'. In any case, welcome aboard, KJ.

Steven, I totally understand the difficulty of a euphroe at that scale; it would probably disintegrate. Time to have another chat with your 17-year-old self about a more suitable choice of scale!

A couple of fine models are also in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, now I come to think of it.

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.
