    Very nice and methodical!

    Whew! A lengthy procedure rather, I suspect. like walking a high wire. Glad you didn't fall off! Terrific result.

    Those furled sails look as good as any I've seen. Nice work.

    Looking good, Toni!

    Never use oil finish anywhere you will need to glue anything onto later!
  6. druxey
    Looking really good!

    How much planking are you planning to add, Kevin?
  8. druxey
    Very nice! Are you going to put lighting inside so that the interior can be seen?
  9. druxey
    Nicely done!

    I agree with Roger; real gilding appears too garish at scale sizes (at least, to my eye and taste).

    Great progress, Valeriy.

    Oh, my! There seem to be a lot of MSW modelers' work falling off workbenches lately. There must a disturbance in the Force.... Great recovery, Daniel.

    Looks like you did an excellent job of shaping the water closets, Bob. Well done!

    Bitt pins that pass through more than one deck will vary in length to fit your particular model. Unless you can build with micrometer precision, every model will vary slightly from the ideal.

    Well played, Bob!

    That looks good. You may wish to consider the grain of the wood you plan to use: it is weak across the grain and liable to break. Ideally the frames should be of more than one piece with the grain oriented for strength.

    If it's any consolation, your first model is bound to include many 'oopsies',. That is part of the learning process, as is correcting those oopsies. As mentioned, you can always ask for replacement parts. Also, consider using clips and elastic bands rather than using fingers to hold things while they glue.

    If their usage has been somewhat superseded by others, they are the inspiration for those that have come since, myself included.

    Personally, I prefer to err on the side of safety. But to each his own.

    Acetone has a bad reputation for one's health, does it not?
  21. druxey
    Well eluded, indeed! Congratulations on yet another unusual model.
  22. druxey
    Just take care of ventilation, please!
  23. druxey
    Clever tip, using masking tape to align the pairs! Thanks - I shall remember that one, Keith.

    Whoever might be interested: there are many, many large sheets of plans in meticulous detail. Get them while you can! It's very generous to offer these for the cost of postage only, Bruce.

    Meccano shaft diameter is 5/32" or about 15 thou.

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.
