Yeah it made me a little dizzy too Jim, ...... I don't know what makes it pixalate so much....... I did this to show Mario how to post a you tube on your post here at MSW. I just ck'd You Tube and the video runs real smooth there.... maybe uploading it causes it to do that??? Ron it takes a long time to upload .... so to do a tutorial on something would be strenuous at best..... at the old Msw they had a video download available where you did your posting but they seemed to have changed that. You Tube has changed their method also..... I had to go online to get the info on how to upload again.It's a good tool for a short presentation, although there are some people who do long videos.I'll have to ck into that.

Hi Popeye.... don't think I've seen this one before.... great looking build you've got going.... next time you color some rope try using a small top of something like a medicine bottle or anything that will hold your coloring media. grab one end with your tweezers and use a stick to hold the rope down in the liquid then pull it thru .,don't put all the rope in the liquid leave it out side of the liquid then pull it thru as you hold it down with the stick ..... let it end up on a pc. of paper towel pat it dry then you can roll 'er up!! you might want to try some water based flat paint for your coloring. Make a wash or thin accordingly Thats all I use , works good for me. weathering powders work well too, thats what I used on my sails. Good Sailing !!.... frank

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.
