    Interesting kit, James. That appears to be a rather unique model with dual overhead cams and seems to have 4 valves per cylinder. A racing motor by per chance?

    My heart goes out to you and Maggie, Kieth. Too many of us, myself included, are staring that situation in the face and it appears that resistance is futile. I forget who said it but it applies: "Old age ain't for sissies." Meantime, the only thing I can say is to try to just go one day at a time.

    Beautiful work on the piping and mind boggling at the same time.

    Welcome to MSW, Clive. I suggest you open a build log on your project. It's a great way to get help and also to meet other builders.

    Just wow. Just the thought of even trying something that small makes my eyes cross. Well done.

    I ham no answer to your question but happy to see you aboard.

    No need to apologize or be quiet. Often times, we do details and later find out that those helped someone else.

    Excellent solution, IMO, Eric. I think they look great.

    Looks fantastic from here, Harvey. Probably even better in person.

    Welcome to MSW, John. I suggest you open a build log as it's the best way to get help when you need and meet others.

    Congratulations on finishing her and the award.

    Beautiful model, Rod

    That's a tough call, Eric. I would guess that you'd want both sides to alike as to letter size, etc.? And I'm guessing that there's no photos of the port side to show the name board?

    I'm sorry to hear about your father, Robert. I do believe Chris has some solid advice and it's worth thinking about. I hope there's a solution to this near your location.

    Nicely painted Keith. Way above my pay grade.

    I have different magnifiers for different tasks. One on a stand, one hand held, and also the kind that sit on your head.

    Welcome back, Chuck. Do give sought to putting the cross-section in a build log. It's the best way to get help and meet others.

    I have an "old" (maybe 15 years old?) MicroMark saw and thickness sander Not as powerful or maybe as accurate as the Byrnes but they've worked for me. Others have similar tools from other manufactureres. Keep your eyes open on Ebay for those as they do pop up from time to time. And they also pop here in "Traders and Dealers" area on MSW.

    Great photos, Eric. Brought back some good memories of sitting on the banks near one of the Locks and Dams (I forget which ones) and having just nice afternoon.

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.
