    Great to see you back, Mark. Health issues can really knock the wind out of our sails and I'm glad you're doing better. I hope things continue to improve.

    It's not that hard actually. Just go to the kit log area, pick the era for your model and click on it. At the top of that page are some pinned posts on "how to". Also, go here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/47-how-to-use-the-msw-forum-no-modeling-content / And in the new member area, there's a lot of pinned posts that can help. Most builders just use photos as it's also easier to reference a photo if you have questions. While you're at it, do a post in the new member area as it's the best place to start.

    Feymoon, If you haven't done so, I suggest you open a build log for your model. It's a great way to get help and also meet other modelers.

    I find the ubiquitous X-acto knife with assorted blades works well. Assorted blades for different materials and functions.

    Welcome to MSW, Derrick. Feel free to start a build log as it's a great way to meet other builders and also get help when needed.

    Welcome to MSW. Chris is very much spot on. There are some specialty houses like the one he listed. but it's been awhile since I did any looking about for them. It would take some Googling to find them. Good luck on your quest.

    A fantastic model, Glen. Your miniatures are incredible an each new one is better than the last. I'm looking forward to whatever your next project will be.

    Welcome to MSW. I'm assuming this is a working steamer for say pond use? We've had very few of those but we have had pond ships (non steamers) and static steramers. I suggest you open a log in the scratch area as it's the appropriate place to let lus follow along.

    Ah, my mistake. I'll go do penance and stand in the naughty corner for a bit.

    The carving issue of differences is interesting. Would it have been intentional? Perhaps two different carvers with one on each side? Or maybe the same carver does one side, flips it over and does the other? I can that no matter it was done back then that there would be some differences between the sides. either by design or inadvertently during carving.

    Excellent paint work OC. And that dio is amazing.

    I'd say yes, do a log. It keeps us interested and helps the builder to focus. We do need our distractions from real life issues and I and others are doing it.

    It's great to see you back, Nenad and making progress.

    Thanks for posting that Javlin. I'm going to have to dig into my play lists now for my collecton and start playing htem again. Something just seemed to hit me while your post was playing. Darned if I know what it was but it was good.

    From what I've seen, the canvas cover was on the outside of the stern, wrapped around the rudder at the lower end of cover and then the top area was nailed to the transom. I would think these vessels used something similar.

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.
