    Good to see you back, Jack. You're not alone in the doldrums... I suspect more than a few of us have it.

    That is one impressive and beautiful build. The weathering is perfect.

    A very useful list for the next time a tool purchase needs approval from the Admiralty. TOOLS EXPLAINED DRILL PRESS : A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it. WIRE WHEEL : Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in a

    No rush... take the weekend off.

    Surprise her, make another one just for her. The effort will be worth the points you get.

    Yes, like the Constitution. You do have a problem with room for a full size binnacle don't you.
  26. mtaylor
    Not all binnacles were fixed so it could have been located somewhere around the helm. They also came in different sizes and configurations so some might be only as large as the compass rose.

    Seat belts.. novel idea. I don't recall outside of the US, anyone except the pilots in our -34's and -53's using them. The crew sure didn't. We just hung on for take-offs and landings. For a hard landing you knew was coming, lay on the floor (head towards the stern) and hope for the best.

    Those X's are very confusing. Which one is the pirate's treasure buried under?
  29. mtaylor
    This ship isn't dead, I've just been busy. Seems real life is in the way and also some reworks of things I've found I'm not happy with. But, I think the ship problems resolved and once I've laid down some hull planks, I'll update things.

    Hi Mark, Welcome to MSW.

    A stunning model and a perfect case to protect it. Well done, David.
  32. mtaylor
    Not yet that I'm aware of. Some of the wood companies on this side of the pond sell wood in manageable sizes but not much in way of what we traditionally use

    Welcome to MSW. I don't think Harold Hahn lived in Arizona as we was out of Ohio. Strange that someone would dump a pile of books on a road in a neat stack and leave them there. Was there anything inside the other books like a plate (paper) with the owner's name?

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.
