    Looks real good /Matti...... just the right touch....... I like your idea in one of your earlier posts too, about dry brushing a light grey to give the wood a more weathered look. I've tried other ways to get the walnut to look more weathered , but nothing seems to really please me, so I think I'll give your idea a try I've dry brushed metal and plastic with good results, but never wood. I'll let you know how it goes. Frank

    Thanks Jim and Augie for looking in......... your comments are always appreciated....... yours too Popeye.... yeah ,you're right , they were attached to the ship ... I took them off ... in doing so I used alcohol to loosen up the glue which it did, but it also turned some of the wood white , but that's OK , the ship looks like hell anyway Frank

    just another quick update...... I redid one of the catheads to accept some rigging and attached the rope to the anchor rings. I'll try and get the other one finished up tonite. I was a little hesitant on the rope size, but I think this size 1.5 looks a little better than the size they included with the kit, it was really huge! . All input is welcomed

    Loook'n real good !! Popeye..... seems like there's a million things to do at this stage doesn't it........ it blows me away how you keep up with everything you 've got going ,,, and, thanks for the pictures!!! Frank

    Hi Patrick......... so that's where you've been ... mending!! Sorry to hear about your mishap, you really can't do much in this hobby unless everything is working .... if you're not real happy with your rigging, take your time and do it over, I think if you don't it'll always bug you What's the rush anyway, it's a hobby ... glad you're starting to feel better. Frank

    Look'n forward to your assembling the case, it looks like it's a quality kit, something I might be interested in also, I don't think my Supply is bigger than The Syren, if you find it suitable for yours after you finish, it might be my next purchas. Good choice on the Confed. that'll keep you busy for awhile Frank P.S. hope you're feeling better.

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.
