    Welcome to MSW, Patrick. When you start the model, open a log in the kit build area as it's a great way to get help and show your progress. As for tool, we do have a tool section and a jig section which might be of some help.

    Hi David, Welcome to MSW. Hopefully you'll tell us a bit more about yourself. As for the bulkheads, do a bit of searching here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/14-building-framing-planking-and-plating-a-ships-hull-and-deck/ You will probably find many ways of doing this. Also, if you go here: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/17023-quick-find-indexes-to-build-logs-for-kits/ , you'll find indexes for all the kit builds. Should be quite a few on the Syren.

    Welcome aboard, Andre. For a first model, that looks impressive and shows way beyond beginner skills.

    Welcome back, Keith. And I"m glad the "honey do's" are done.

    Ronald, I suggest you go here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/98-planking-downloads-and-tutorials-and-videos/ There's vids and tutorials on planking. There's one for "simplified" planking which might be a good one to read first.

    Beautiful progress, Marc. Your scratch built works just boggle my mind at this scale.

    This project will give you a lot of the skills needed, Kevin.

    Beautiful work, Jack. I hope you get ice and lots of it.

    I don't envy having to make that decision, Yves. Both are masterful pieces of work.

    What Denis said about the bedroom versus kitchen... I'm still rolling on the floor with laughter. From where I sit, it quite well done. Like many things, we sometimes need a few under our belts to be comfortable doing them.

    I too, build that model way back when they were actually flying. One impressive aircraft though except for nukes it didn't have much it could be used for. Where I lived as kid (Dayton, OH) we lived near the base there often one of those would come in for landing or take off.... what a sight to see.

    Third time is apparently the key. LOL...

    That is excellent information, Justin.

    Welcome to MSW. I agree with Louie Da Fly... do start a build log and let us look over your shoulder.

    To add a consideration also. Possibly because of windage and also the "quality" and burn time of the powder, it's likely that much power went out the muzzle when firing. Both around the ball and also still burning after the ball left the muzzle. As these improved the need for breechings increased.

    Hi JM, I built that kit many moons ago. As for treenails, at that scale they will be way to large and make the hull look like it has freckles. When I built it, the instructions said they were for "holding parts in place" which I took to mean "until the glue dries".

    Derek, I'm not sure about the blades. At the time the document was written, Jim wasn't offering a selection in blades. You mght PM him here on MSW and ask. If he doesn't, use the sources or search for a supplier in Canada. If you find one, post it here.

    Welcome to MSW, Clark. Good choice on a starter kit. When you start it, do a log as it's great way to get help.
  22. mtaylor
    If that doesn't work.. see Grant's Alfa Romeo build. The link should take you to the page where he shows a painted? chrome product and results.

    Congratulations Eric. I think this is the MSW equivalent of an Oscar.
  24. mtaylor
    As always, Doris, stunningly beautiful and inspirational. I've printed out a couple to hang on my shop wall to set a standard that I'll probably never achieve...

    I've been flowing this and the research and work are excellent. Is there still more do because I'm looking forward to it.

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.
