    Welcome to MSW, Chris. Do feel free to start log for your lobster boat. It's great way to get help and also meet other builders.

    This part strikes me. Is it possible that Nicolaes basically finished or edited the book that his father actually wrote?

    Here's hoping also that everything goes back together well.

    Great to see you back and that all is well. Ship is looking great.
  5. mtaylor
    Is this a Zoom thing? Or something else?

    Good on you, Kevin. I was hoping you'd finish this one. Looking very good.

    I'm moving this to the non-ship builds area The wheels came out looking pretty good.

    Well done, Craig. As for the flag... you're the Captain and it's your choice.

    I think the best you can do is to follow the monograph. I'd look at all the plans (top down, deck views, etc.) and use the window measurements from them to double check.

    Keep going on this thread, Kurtis. Same project but your re-doing it much like someone in a build log who starts over.

    Perhaps try Shapeways and see if anyone offers something close and if so, could they scale it up or down for your scale.

    I'd suggest that any build you do, open a log for it. It's a great way to get help and meet others.

    Thanks James. Mask is mandatory and I have a good one. I'll go get a glass of wine and chill out.

    Andreas, there's really nothing wrong with "fixing" errors. Bashing kits and even scratch builds is one of the things we all do. So far, looks great from here.

    I have a question on the MDF for this model. I have some concerns over fumes and also fragility being as there's a bunch of grades of MDF where some just crumbles by looking at it. Is there a coating that can be put on it to seal and perhaps strengthen it? James doesn't mention it so maybe I'm just being a bit paranoid or nuts?

    Nice looking tooshie cushions. As for the pins... maybe a touch with a very thin and pointed brush of paint?

    I think you'll need to PM James to turn on the logo.

    Welcome to MSW, Dodge. As for for the AL kit, it's probable that it never will be released after all this time of them promising it. It's a good idea to start "small" rather than jumping right in with a huge kit. Closets around the world have first time models tucked away out frustration by the builder. Do start a log when you are ready to begin. It's the best way to get help and meet other model builders.

    Welcome to MSW, TrueNorth. When you're ready, do start a build log as it'll be a great way to share your experience, get advice, and meet other builders. BTW, is there a name we can address you by other than your screen name? And tell us where you are as there are probably members or possibly a club near you.

    If you think the adjustment screws are "moving" from vibration, next time you get them locked in after adjusting the table, brush a bit of fingernail polish on the screw/thread joint. If it moves,, the polish will be cracked.

    There is a group build for the Medway Longboat here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/77-medway-long-boat-1742-public-group-project/

    Stevinne, have a look at the Vanguard Models and also Syren Models builds here. From what I've heard, they have some of the best instructions and the designers are here on MSW.

    Hi Bruce. Welcome to MSW.
  24. mtaylor
    I'm in also B.E. I'm thinking the same build style due to space when I do mine. Meanwhile, until delivery is chill pill time.

    Great to see you're now a sponsor, Joe. I wish you much success and from the reviews and comments about your wood, you will be.

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.
