    Welcome to MSW, Lohengrin. Louie da Fly gave you some excellent advice. I would add that buy a kit such as longboat.. something simple to get started and then continue researching here on MSW. There are tutorials for how to plank among other things which will go a long way in getting you on board.

    And not quite big enough to get into and sail it.

    No rush. Bob. Steady as she goes. Also, see the quote in my signature. I think most of us either consciously or subconsciously do this.

    Wow. The low angle photos give an impression of walking down the full size shipyard building slip.

    I'm with Snug Harbor Johnny on this. Even the missed deadeye hole won't be noticed except by you and those of us following your log.

    A very impressive model, Yves. No rush or pressure from us on speed as we've all been there with other projects also.

    Wow.. Looks great, Bob. Congrats on a very well done model and display.

    I'm with the enthralled group. My mind is totally boggled by this model.

    Mark, Your reference book recommendation is excellent and I was about to recommend it .

    A pity if they aren't or at least a few. They seem bring the models to life and also give a viewer a good idea of the size of the real thing.

    Looking very good, Bob. The sail came out very well. I fear that more and more penguins will be soon taking over MSW though I do agree with Glen that is a Nessie in your water. Hmm... did Nessie scare off the penguins?

    I thought that's why they were developing those kits? For us older types....

    Hmm.. that hand stabiliser looks like an interesting tool. How big is it and how is it used? I've familiar with the old sign painters method using a long stick of wood but not sure how something that small would work.

    If you ever get back to Dayton, PirateWhilly, visit Carillon Park and also the Air Force Museum. Both have dispalys if the Wright aircraft and tools. I used to live there about 30 years ago or so and they were great back then and quick Google says they're even better today.

    Run a search for "slitting blades" Those blades have no offset. I get a ton of hits so some sorting is needed... for example some only sell in quantity and sometimes it's a rather large quantity. I'm finally down to just a couple from Thurstan and need to restock myself. Last time I checked, Malco was one of those "quantity only" sales. ' Also, have you done a search here in this sub-forum for saw blades? There might be some recent posts that could help.

    Wow.. this is a master class in reverse engineering. Very well done, EG.

    Another update. Slow going with RL getting in the way at the moment. Got the bulwark tops trimmed and am pretty happy. I know the photo appears to show all the tops trimmed below the line but that's the camera angle's fault. A square shows me it's spot on.

    I'll toss in my 2 cents on this... consider the NRG's Half Hull Model. It's rather inexpensive and will give you a solid foundation for future models.

    This so over the top and lifelike. Incredible. Makes me think about giving up modeling and go live the life a monk in a cave.

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.
