    This seems to be a neglected part of Civil War history for many folks, even those in St. Louis aren't of the history. The battle at Fort Donelson is a good example for river craft. While most were not on the scale of the land battles, they were important to both sides as the river was a transport and resupply means. If you haven't, head down to Fort Donelson. It's a great way to spend a day and not very crowded compared to other Civil War sites.

    You should be more than pleased, Frank. I had to really look twice to sort out model from real. Beautiful work on that rigging.

    To edit a post, just click the "Edit" button at the bottom. To add pictures, use "Chose Files" button. Upload your pictures and then set the cursor where you want photo. Click the almost invisible "Add" button on the left side of the thumbnail. "Rinse and repeat" so to speak.

    Not only impressive work but that group photo shows how large it is. Super nice work.

    Better slap a label with something like "Do NOT use a forklift. Hand carry only". I have seen some labels like that many years ago for delicate electronic equipment.

    I don't think there was a standard way as such. The bulkheads (panels) separating the captain's quarters from the main area one some ships were hinged and swung up the upper deck beams. Others were removed and sent below. Furniture would have been broken down if that's the way it was made or left intact and sent down. I don't know how common the practice of putting the goods into the ship's boats was and it would seem that would be asking for trouble.

    Here in the States (I can't say for certain anywhere else) the ISP's do a lot of filtering and some businesses sending confirmations, etc. inadvertently get dumped into the ISP's spam bucket. Not much we as users can do though. For a long time, emails for notifications went there.

    Looks good from here, Al. It was (to me anyway) a very tense time cutting the hull loose, keeping it supported so not to break the frames and generally not making a mess of things. One bit of advice given to me was "cut long" and adjust the frame heights after it's free as it's hard to cut accurately in the position it's in

    The only way I've found to etch PE or any other brass is vinegar. Time will vary depending on the brass.

    Hang in there, Denis. Try not to stress out but then I'm a fine one to offer that advice. What Pat said goes for me too.

    Not gonna' like that post but I do support the decision which obviously would be a very agonizing one to make.

    Took care of that pesky photo link. It must have been deleted at the source at it was just a link. Good looking rats.

    Frank, you are the god of hardware ware. These are just incredible.

    Impressive piece of woodwork, Nenad. I find the corkscrew very hard to do.

    I find magnifiers are my friend for detail work, but as the others.. I limit my time.

    No liking that from here but one of sympathy. I think we've all nipped shroud lines when doing rigging.

    Welcome to the rabbit hole. This is one of the good ones to crawl into.

    During or just before WWII. Eleanor Roosevelt pushed very hard for the ban and succeeded. Something about drunken sailors and image as I recall.

    It does look that way, but luckily for Keven there's no miniature rivets.

    The "like" button isn't enough.. we need a "love it" button. Your base is fantastic.

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.
