    I'd be afraid to wear it. Might get damaged or lost.

    Netflix? Don't have cable TV by design (mine) but do have Master and Conmander on CD.

    I think we cross posted... April at the earliest. Meantime I will sort out what I can and can't do.

    I have one but I need the lenses to have prisms as one eye is weaker than the other. I think I need less prism now as I'm getting double vision a lot lately. It'll all be resolved. I can't get in to eye folks until April. Seems they suddenly got swamped with appointments as the restrictions from virus are being raised.

    That's great news, Johann.

    Try this one... https://modelshipsahoy.com/ It's what shows up in a Google search.

    I'm temporarily suspending this log. The build isn't going the way I'd like it due my eyes. Apparently, things have changed due to the surgery and the meds and now I need new glasses. I'll continue to work where I'm comfortable with and post as I go on those areas. I'm just having a really hard time seeing the small stuff and working with it. Until I get the new glasses, I just don't feel I can do this kit justice.

    For finished ships, put the photos in the gallery.

    Welcome to MSW, Lars. I suggest you have a look in the kit area. There's some great builds in the 1901-Present area with detailing and weathering. Also, if there's a particular model ship you're working on, use the Search (upper right hand side) to search for logs. There's also a pinned topic in the kit area with links (https://modelshipworld.com/forum/150-index-of-all-kits-by-brand-and-subject/) And start a log on your project. It's a great way to get advice, help, and also meet other builders.

    Good luck with the build. We'll be looking for your log. As for music.. here's a topic:

    Jim, I deleted your topic where you asked this same question and Bruce directed you here.

    I quite agree with Glenn. Every kit will have compromises and as the saying goes... you can't please all the people all the time.
  13. mtaylor
    Good choice of priorities, Jack. Have fun.

    Nice work, Egilman. I must be stuck in the 20th century as I'm surprised they didn't put the markings on the bottom of main rotors also.

    Do the captcha and see if that works. I subscribed some time ago and it worked then. Not sure why it wouldn't work now.
  16. mtaylor
    Those might help with any ship model..... tiny bits seem to be the norm.

    I almost hate to bring this up, but talking with a friend a bit ago made me think I should. If you've had an adult beverage or having one, or doing any kind of drugs, don't use power tools. Period. By drug I'm talking legal or illegal and it can even be over the counter meds as some do cause drowsiness or slow reaction times. Check the labels and/or Google it, if you're unsure. It was mentioned to me that my BP med can cause dizziness (and it does) and so, no power tools for several hours after taking my meds.

    I'll have to remember that if I ever get back to see the Smokies again.

    It looks great and the whole diorama sets the mood. Very well done, Mike.
  20. mtaylor
    There's 3 more books in the series for the Fully Framed Model. Been I awhile since I looked at them but I believe you need the other books.
  21. mtaylor
    Do they have to be brass? I have some that are nylon or some other plastic for the bristles.
  22. mtaylor
    Better to introduce yourself late than never. A belated "Welcome to MSW".
  23. mtaylor
    Good that you caught this early. As for what you're suggesting....I vaguely remember reading this somewhere.... I'll do some digging.

    Go up to the top of the page to the NRG page link. Once on the NRG sie, hit the store link and you'll see it. There's a few build logs in the kit area here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/135-kit-build-logs-for-subjects-built-from-1751-1800/

    I too am sorry to hear this, Johann. Follow the doctor's orders including surgery if needed. The wood, the ship, and those of us following along are a patient group. Health and healing are more important than a ship model.

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.
