    As said.... yes. When you do the log, use the naming guidelines, one of which is put the keyword "small" in the title.

    Perhaps a compromise. Looking at the picture Balclutha shows and the one you posted earlier with all the shields stacked along the centerline might be reasonable. Instead of standing them up perhaps just stacked on top of whatever would have been stowed on the deck. Possibly overlapped as Balclutha shows? Heavy seas might have required them to be lashed down but much is lost to history. The key is.. no one can say you are wrong.

    Do a search on ebony and health problems, G.L. Not just the lungs can be affected but also the skin.

    Congratulations on a restoration well done, Dan. What difference it's made even compared to the photos of the undamaged model. Looks like it has a place of honor in the home.

    You are doing superb work on this model. Very well done.

    Fascinating what can be done... and yes,, that is a bit creepy.

    Welcome to MSW, Mauro. That is one beautiful engine. You'll find plenty of help here as we're a friendly and talkative bunch. There's topics that will help you get started... such as

    For some reason, the site truncates your link to only go to the homepage. The examples they show do look spooky to say the least.

    Interesting that they put a hatch on the bench. Is this a French ship, by perchance? I'm seeing a few bits that say it might be like the bench and "hollow" area on top of the galleries. On the French ships, the bench also doubled as a storage area for officer's weapons in case of mutiny or surprise attack.

    Robin, when you're ready to start, open your own log rather than jumping in on this one.

    BBB555.. welcome to MSW. What the others have said applies about opening a build log and looking at the other logs.

    I did the Billings Vasa. The only wood I changed/added was for the hull planking. If you haven't done so, goto the kit area and do a search on the Vasa and have a look at the logs. Detailing is pretty much up to you. Do as much or as little as you like.

    As a river boat, many did a camber on the deck. If haven't search in the kit area for the year for this ship and see if there's a log on it. The other thing is glue up the false keel and the parts you have shown in the first photo.

    Hi Bill, Welcome to MSW. I have two bits of advice... the first is this one as it contains a list of manufacturers who are banned by MSW because the pirate kits for honest manufacturers... https://modelshipworld.com/forum/149-our-stance-on-piracy-in-the-hobby/ The other is this topic... it offers some great advice. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/13703-for-beginners-a-cautionary-tale/

    Good news on your lady. No rush on the build. When the time is right, you'll know it and jump right back in.
  17. mtaylor
    The results show that.

    For some reason, I missed this one. Beautiful work adding all the details.
  19. mtaylor
    There's only one word for this.... amazing.

    I can't add to what's been said for example another "wow". Beautiful work well beyond most of us mere mortals.

    I moved this to the appropriate forum area. Also, you might want to change the title from your name to the name and maker of the kit.
  24. mtaylor
    That is a question of the ages. Unless there's a hidden engine and prop, it really doesn't make sense.

    Congratulations on the new lady, Marc.

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.
