    The fruits of the research turned out great, Daniel. I'm still not sure I like that color they use for the current one.
  2. mtaylor
    Nicely done, Sjors.

    Happy belated birthday, Eric. Nice bit of motivation you recieved.
  4. mtaylor
    I hope he's ok also. The last post anywhere from him was here.

    See if there's an auto shop that does chroming, Allan. Some do and most don't anymore.

    Looks good from here. Use the method that's working.

    Does it have to be metal? There's still very accurate plastic ones available.
  8. mtaylor
    They redid the NRG page so they may have moved the links, etc.

    The 2nd and 3rd posts are the instructions. Do what's in post #3 first as it will get you to the right place, then follow post #2.

    Personally Chris, at that scale the window look darn good. I wouldn't try adding frames, etc. Leave like they are. If you were building at a larger scale, then it might be worth it.

    Beautiful work.

    You're not putting the planks on upside down are you, Eric? How would 24 fit if you flipped it over? Same for the other 2. They look like they're curving away from the strakes already in place.

    There's more than a passing resemblance there, Nick. Excellent work.

    I believe you're right, Roger. Many accounts mention the boats being manned and under tow until the ships closed for battle.

    Words of wisdom, my friend.

    I will offer this.. one of our modelers who hasn't been around in awhile had this for a tag line and hopefully I get it right: "Treat each piece as separate model and at the end of the day, you have completed more models than many do in a life time." So take heart... you're doing a lot of models.

    I found the more you do the wood thing, the more comfortable you will be. I did my share of software and very early on, I had the same worries.

    So the secret is the hair dryer. You're figures look great.
  20. mtaylor
    Nothing wrong with counting knots. Now if you were counting the strokes with sandpaper per hull, I worry.
  21. mtaylor
    Sweet work, Marc. You've raised the part of plastic kits and shown what some research and rework can do.
  22. mtaylor
    Looks good, OC. The only thing I can suggest and I don't know if you've tried it and that's to hit with some flat clear. That problem has to have you pulling your hair out.
  23. mtaylor
    I really like the way this is looking. And the boats look perfect.

    Hank, We've all been there, done that, had the Captain's Mast, appropriate flogging and went back to doing what we wanted. Thanks for the tale. It made my day and I'll be chucking for quite a while.

    I would suggest starting a build log, sir. Show the contents of the box and then ask your question. The log is good way to eyes and help.

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.
