    Surprise her, make another one just for her. The effort will be worth the points you get.

    Yes, like the Constitution. You do have a problem with room for a full size binnacle don't you.
  3. mtaylor
    Not all binnacles were fixed so it could have been located somewhere around the helm. They also came in different sizes and configurations so some might be only as large as the compass rose.

    Seat belts.. novel idea. I don't recall outside of the US, anyone except the pilots in our -34's and -53's using them. The crew sure didn't. We just hung on for take-offs and landings. For a hard landing you knew was coming, lay on the floor (head towards the stern) and hope for the best.

    This ship isn't dead, I've just been busy. Seems real life is in the way and also some reworks of things I've found I'm not happy with. But, I think the ship problems resolved and once I've laid down some hull planks, I'll update things.

    Hi Mark, Welcome to MSW.

    A stunning model and a perfect case to protect it. Well done, David.

    Not yet that I'm aware of. Some of the wood companies on this side of the pond sell wood in manageable sizes but not much in way of what we traditionally use

    Welcome to MSW. I don't think Harold Hahn lived in Arizona as we was out of Ohio. Strange that someone would dump a pile of books on a road in a neat stack and leave them there. Was there anything inside the other books like a plate (paper) with the owner's name?

    Michael gave some good advice. As far as posting questions, post them where you think best. If it's in the wrong place (say a question on rigging guns is in the rigging area) usually one of us moderators will see it and move it to the right place. Also, anytime you have questions and are hesitant about asking where to look or post, PM a moderator. We're here to help.

    Your stove is a small masterpiece. To look at that finished model, one would never think it was made of wood.

    I hope she appreciates the sacrifice on doing your part.

    That is some impressive research and findings. For some reason, those shelters remind me of WWII submarine pens by providing shelter all around.

    Sam, If you're not getting any responses, you might try posting your offer here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/41-traders-dealers-buying-or-selling-anything-discuss-new-products-and-ship-model-goodies-here-as-well/

    John, There's more resources here than build logs. If you need help and have specific questions, have a look in this area: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/12-shop-notes-ship-modeling-tips-techniques-and-research/ Each category has tons of Q@A and often a quick search using the search feature and the settings within will get an answer. It may not be specific to your model but the answers may help. There's also this area which is for general (not a specific model) that can provide answers: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/58-general-ship-model-kit-discussions-not-build-logs/

    Well, there's your problem....hiding.

    I hope you'll put some pictures into the Gallery, Yves.

    Incredible detail work, OC. Pity that most of it will disappear.
  20. mtaylor
    A beautiful and interesting model, GB.
  21. mtaylor
    I do hope that you will put some photos in the Gallery, Steven.

    I think lazyitis has hit many of hard lately myself among it's victims.
  23. mtaylor
    Looking good, Mario. If you hadn't shown us, the lantern looks like metal.
  24. mtaylor
    From a view of accuracy, details, research, and building... this is at least museum quality. Maybe higher.
  25. mtaylor
    Sorry. Misread the post and thought maybe that addy was viable.

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.
