    Wow.... I didn't know there was river race until now, Eric. Some days I miss living in the St. Louis area.

    Rik, Mike had some good advice. If manuals, written materials are desired go a Google for the tool and add "manuals" to the search. Little Machine Shop is a good place to start for documents.

    I hope things turn around OC. I fully understand and have experienced "crap happens".... Kick back and recover physically, my friend.

    Welcome to MSW. MSW is an English language forum so could you please post in Engish? There are numerous translators on line if you need one.

    Wow.... your final bits and pieces really bring that boat to life. Congratulations on your build and looking forward to your display.

    My thoughts were/are a bit different. They may very well have used yellow ochre paint since gole, even brass was expensive and a storm and/or combat could (and often times did) blow away decorations and external members.

    OC... Paul is right about the USB port and external keyboard. I forgot about being able to do that. Might even be able to find a used one somewhere.

    It was a bit nerve racking to watch those videos.... but great to see it all worked out.

    Better late than never to the party. Something a bit different here on MSW which is good thing.

    Congratulations. This model is a masterpiece by any definition. It's amazing to me how much detail you can put into such a small scale model.

    OC. Been there and done that. If you can, take into a computer shop and have them look at it. It may (fingers crossed) just need to opened up and everything cleaned up.

    Just an aside here on tools to start with..... band-aids. I still end up cutting myself .

    PM Chuck and see about being a sponsor here. That would give you access to post your products and also a large audience.

    I suggest that if you haven't done it, open a build log for this model in the kit area. It is the best way to meet others and get help when needed.

    Follow doctors' advice and kick back for a bit, Gary. Let your self get over the virus first as health is more important than any model.

    Welcome to MSW. I see you've received a lot of great advice. The best advice on tools is start simple. Buy only what you need when you need it. There's a lot of "junk" out there that is really a waste of money. And on the first builds...start "small". Like no masts and build from there. The Model Shipways 3 ship begiiner package is a great way to go. Think "baby steps" on this. My first kit purchase was Billings Vasa. Oops. Luckily, I put it away and did some small projects first. Taking time to learn the basics will go a long way to having a rewarding hobby as you progress on the journey.

    Quite a few of us are in the same boat as you I guess we're just dinosaurs from a previous time.

    That's great news Ben about the business becoming full time. May your success keep moving forward.

    Welcome to MSW, Scott. Feel free to open build logs on your projects as they are a great way to meet others and also get help as needed.

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.
